 | Elliott Mellor That's an agonising way to go, but thanks for hosting Tass! |
 | Matthew Tassier With 19 maxes Sam claims the Strongest Link title for this round and is just one point off the all time top WL Octolock score as he joins Adam in reaching their first WL nums final. |
| Matthew Tassier When the final 5 took on Rex at this challenge in 2017, 129 would have been enough to be crowned Strongest Link, but in a really high quality round that score means Tom leaves the tournament finishing 5th this year, his 4th top 5 finish. And in 4th place we lose the top cumulative points scorer and our last remaining former champion as Elliott misses out to Dave on the margin of defeat tiebreak by a single point. So, Tom and Elliott you are the Weakest Links. Goodbye! |
 | Fiona T I've just seen Tass practising spoilage against Prime... :D |
Tourney round: Weakest Link Numbers Tournament 2023: Round 23 - Octolock
Notes from the organizer: For the final 5 players the penultimate round is going to be the tricky challenge of taking on Rex in an Octolock format game. With larges of 20, 30, 40 and 50 and only 5 numbers to work with, it can be an unusual task, particularly as Rex will choose the rarely played 4 Large option. As with Octorock earlier, some players may get games with far lower possible max scores than others do. That's just some savage luck of the draw.
Some stats for this round:
Expected competitors: 5
Weakest Links required: 2
Highest WL Octolock score: 167 - Mervyn Tong
Highest scoring Octolock Weakest Link: 118 - Chris Hare (2021)
Lowest scoring Octolock survivor: 65 - Adam Dexter (2022)
