Matthew Tassier Elliott achieves his second Octorock WL max game, which is two more than anyone else has managed. However the Strongest Link this round was Sam who is the first person this year to claim that position 3 times. | |
Matthew Tassier The two players with the lowest available max in their games end up beating the record for highest scoring Octorock Weakest Link and can count themselves very unlucky to miss out on a top 10 position. Also leaving after a bit of a nightmare game but with his highest tournament finish is Ben. So, Bradley, Dan and Ben you are the Weakest Links. Goodbye! | |
Dan Byrom Sadness D: Good luck everyone left in, and thanks Matthew for hosting! | |
Bradley Horrocks Thanks Matthew for a fun tourney, gl to the final ten! | |
Ben H Thanks for hosting, Matthew. Great fun as always! |
Notes from the organizer: It's round twenty already, where the 13 lucky contestants will play an Octorock format game against Apterous Rex. Large numbers are 10 and 20 and Rex unhelpfully tends to pick either 5 small or 1 large and, of course, maxes everything. In this round you may need some luck as well as skill, because games are likely to have widely differing maxes, particularly if Rex regularly plumps for 5 small numbers.
Some stats for this round:
Expected competitors: 13
Weakest Links required: 3
