Notes from the organizer: With the Junior rounds completed, round eight is a step up with our first trip into the realm of larger numbers with a game in Hyper format against Apterous Waldorf. Hyper has a more generous 45 second round limit, which may come in handy as Waldorf will surprisingly max most, if not all, rounds and will choose the sometimes awkward 1 large.

Some stats for this round:
Expected competitors: 52
Weakest Links required: 3
Previous WL Hyper max games: 7
Highest average score (3+ games): 182.43 - Elliott Mellor (7 games)
Highest scoring Weakest Links: 120 - Neil Collins & Steven Grady (2023), Dave Kempshall & Arthur P (2022)
Previous Hyper rounds vs this bot: 2021 Round 6 ( https://www.apterous.org/to_tourney.php?tourney=3776 ), 2019 Round 8 ( https://www.apterous.org/to_tourney.php?tourney=2338 )
For more stats see spreadsheet linked below.

THREE lowest scoring Weakest Links will be leaving the tournament this round. If there is a tie for lowest scores then margin of victory/defeat will be taken into account amongst tied players followed, if necessary, by total score in the tournament so far (see notes by matches).
