Matthew Tassier Amongst the usual generous smattering of first round max games, I am pleased to announce Robin as this round's Strongest Link for the first time in WL Numbers. | |
Matthew Tassier With Anan and Anthony tied for lowest scorer, the special first round rule comes into play and we have no Weakest Link as all 68 players advance to round 2. |
Notes from the organizer: The bots have been randomly allocated to the variants and the round order optimised. As usual we will be starting off relatively easy, with round one being a throwback to the first ever WL Numbers round in 2016, played in Junior format against Apterous Nude. Nude will pick 1 large and should find the max about half of the time.
Some stats for this round:
Competitors: 61+
Weakest Links required: 1
Historic average Junior score: 193.12
Previous Junior max games: 219
Most Junior max games: 7 - Thomas Carey & Tom Cappleman
Highest scoring Junior Weakest Link: 180 - Colin Thompson (2023)
Previous rounds vs. this bot: 2016 Round 1 ( https://www.apterous.org/to_tourney.php?tourney=1640 ), 2021 Round 1 ( https://www.apterous.org/to_tourney.php?tourney=3751 )
For more stats see spreadsheet linked below.
Just ONE lowest scoring Weakest Link will be removed from the tournament this round and if there is a tie for lowest score then I shall allow the tied players through as it's the first round. However, any players failing to play their game within the time limit will definitely be eliminated, taking the Weakest Link spot.
The numbers by each fixture below are the total points each player has scored in the history of Weakest Link Numbers tournaments. They have no bearing on the outcome of the round.
