Sean D Absolute carnage, Hurricane Liam wreaking havoc

Dave Kempshall Looking like Liam is taking out around half the field in R1.

Andy SC In last years Battle Royal, 29 out of the 67-players were eliminated in Round 1.

Samuel Louis Even if some people got max games they wouldn't come within 25% lol

Adam Dexter 11 maxes, a couple of fluffed rounds and a no longer valid 9 in R1 means it's bye from me. Good luck all!

Gerry Tynan Same here. Knowing that if you score in every round you're probably safe and then proceeding to make up a word, try a risky word to make up for it and then miss a conundrum. Consolation that Liams 151 meant even the disallowed words wouldn't have made a difference.

Matt Gould Team Matt/Matthew all just doing enough!

Dave Kempshall It's nudging closer to losing 2/3s of the field rather than half.

Andy SC 44 out of 64 players as it stands are eliminated. That includes the 8-players that haven't played.

Ross K mass eLiamination

Adrian Fletcher Have I been eliminated by 0.25 points?

Adam Latchford both feet touched the floor

Andres S. Adrian touched the red green

Matt Gould If you'd eeked out another point you'd be the goatiest? ;)

Roger Peak Maybe another year there could be a repechage or 'B Final' for all those knocked out in the first round with the same rules as the main tourney

Sarah Binns I will try harder next time

Andy SC @Roger - No reason why that couldn't happen this year :)

Roger Peak Excellent news Andy !

Owen Carroll What exactly is within 25% of the current highest score?

Dave Kempshall 114+

Owen Carroll Ok thanks for letting me know

Andy SC Liam's score of 151 eliminates a total of 40-players but they will get another go in the repechage.

3 players failed to play their game and therefore are completely eliminated.

Jon Pinyan As Gawd is my witness, the field is broken in half!

Ross K i am the lowest rated player (by a long way) still left. I am santino marella

Andy SC After the carnage of Round 1 we have just one elimination this round as Adam eliminates Andres.

Thanks for playing, Andres.

Andres S. Damn, by one point. Ah well, good luck to everyone else!

Andy SC No eliminations in Round 3.

Ross K I fear I am approaching my… final countdown

Robin M Don’t worry Ross I’ll be joining you soon that was truly embarrassing

Ross K yeouch unlucky

Andy SC Stephen eliminates Round in Round 4.

Thanks for playing, Robin.

Matthew Brockwell Harsh nickname Andy!

Robin M Embarrassed myself

Robin M He may have meant it as in around Robin maybe him getting me back for the one minute past seven comment

Andy SC I did mean to type Robin.

Robin M Sure you did a bit of a difference between robin and round you must’ve got carried away….

Ross K my death was greatly exaggerated (by me). I WILL NOT GO QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT

Robin M Until he told me he realised he was typing round and decided to leave it as it was. Brave man. :)

Ross K well i got way farther than i shouldve. good luck everyone !

Andy SC Martin eliminates Ross in Round 5.

Thanks for playing, Ross.

Andy SC Stephen eliminates Hazel, Matthew and Patrick in Round 6.

Thanks for playing.

Luke S Misclick in an easy numbers. Noooo! Whyyyy! Howl!

Andy SC No eliminations in Round 7.

Andy SC Martin eliminates Luke in Round 8.

Thanks for playing.

Luke S Thanks for having me.

Andy SC No eliminations in Round 9.

Fiona T what's your threshold now?

Andy SC As there are still 10+ players in this one, it is still 25%. Could be here for a while with the quality on show :)

Lee McGookin I reckon I'm done for this time, but delighted to have gotten this far!

Andy SC @Lee - If anybody scores 133+ you would be eliminated. First time in 10-rounds that any of the 14 left have scored below 100.

Lee McGookin aye, couple of duff rounds towards the end - a wee 5 and a 4 and just couldn't see the conundrum at all! even if I get knocked out, I am ecstatic finishing top 15 on debut :)

Andy SC Tom eliminates Lee in Round 10.

Thanks for playing.

Dave Kempshall Think Martin was the eliminator there Andy.

Andy SC So he was. Martin eliminates Lee in Round 10.

Lee McGookin Thanks for the opportunity folks, best of luck to everyone left!

Andy SC Matthew picks up 4 eliminations.

Thanks for playing Chris, Mike, Stephen and Martin.

24% threshold since there is less than 10-players now.

Matthew Brockwell Shouldn't T-Cap have been eliminated too as he scored exactly 75% of my score so not within 25%?

Andy SC When I say within 25% I do mean on the 25% mark or within. Just poor choice of words but it's kept consistent with what I had in mind. I'm pretty sure I have allowed people through in the past that have scored exactly 75%.

Andy SC Dave eliminates Johnny.

Thanks for playing.

23% threshold.

Andy SC No eliminations in Round 13.

22% threshold.

Andy SC No eliminations in Round 14.

21% threshold

Andy SC No eliminations in Round 15.

20% threshold.

Andy SC No eliminations in Round 16.

19% threshold.

Andy SC Adam eliminates Matt and Liam in Round 17.

18% threshold.

Matt Gould I went down in flames there. Wp gents, may the best man win. And thanks for organising Andy

Andy SC @Matt - Through the flaming table set up outside the ring by Tom you could say.

Andy SC Tom eliminates Matt in Round 18.

17% threshold in Round 19,

Dave Kempshall And with that I bid the ring farewell. Misclicked on the second numbers, but it wouldn't have saved me anyway. GL to the remaining four!

Dave Kempshall In fact, even a max game wouldn't have sufficed.

Tom Cappleman Knew I needed an 8 in the last letters, but couldn't find it

Trevor Potts Brutal round this with Adam throwing folk about like he's the Big Show or something. Praying Matthew doesn't come in and Great Khali me out. Only hanging on because a 9 bailed me out after fucking up a numbers.

Adam Latchford 155 needed for brocklesnar to come knock you out, a score not yet seen this tournament. I'm hoping for some interference to disrupt the rampaging brock and leave us one on one with a spot at wrestlemania on the line

Trevor Potts BrockLesnar 😂 love it

Matthew Brockwell Well I got the 9 I prayed for! T-Cap, did you see TANOREXIC and dismiss it as removed?

Fiona T methinks invoking God's help is foul play ;)

Tom Cappleman No, just missed it. It's definitely a modern word, so would have probably leant towards thinking it was in

Adam Latchford After 19 rounds Trevor and TCAP had the exact same combined total. That's pretty wild

Andy SC Adam eliminates Tom and Dave in Round 19. Thanks for playing.

16% threshold for Round 20.

Ross K Adam I don’t think you’re supposed to win singles and tag team accolades it’s like an unwritten rule so I’d think carefully bud

Adam Latchford I've scored the lowest accumulative score of all the people left in, this is more like a Santino Marella 2011 run. I'll be out shortly

Trevor Potts Feel like I'm stood on the edge of the ring, wrong side of the ropes, clinging on now!

Adam Latchford chat logs at 8:25am, i've started my game on my work comp but all my tabs keep closing. Will resume later when i've worked out what the issue is

Trevor Potts Looks like I managed to climb back through the ropes and in the ring

Ross K not quite the kofi kingston moment of the tournament

Andy SC No eliminations in Round 20.

15% threshold for Round 21.

Trevor Potts Missed a straight forward 9 for a potential 142 this time, that could have done some damage!

Adam Latchford second time i've left a 120 needed, pop off brock

Andy SC Adam eliminates Matthew in Round 21.

14% threshold in Round 22.

Trevor Potts Two 9s but chucked a disallowed word in there to give you a chance. 119 required, let's see what you got Big Show

Adam Latchford 4 of the easiest numbers you'll ever see + an easy con let me scrape it back, down to 13% we go

Andy SC No eliminations in Round 22.

13% threshold in Round 23.

Andy SC No eliminations In Round 23.

12% threshold in Round 24.

Adam Latchford still needing that moment of magic or that monumental cock up to get this over the line

Andy SC No eliminations in Round 24.

11% threshold in Round 25.

Trevor Potts Max game might not be enough. 134 will do it. Gl Adam.

Adam Latchford absolute nothingness of two games there, 10% it is (good max tho)

Andy SC No eliminations in Round 25.

10% threshold in Round 26.

Andy SC *Round 26 deadline 22nd October.

Trevor Potts I was sort of hoping you'd get a 9 that last round as I thought the low scoring max would be a good way to go out. Doors open again this round if a 9 comes up.

Andy SC This is basically Undertaker v Shawn Michaels at the end of the 2007 Royal Rumble match now. Knocking bells out of each other.

Ross K Cody and Gunther last year for a modern example

Andy SC @Ross - That was 2023 match. Cody and Punk this year.
