 | Matthew Tassier Chris's total tournament points = 3604 |
| Matthew Tassier Elliott's had a love-hate relationship with the Octolock round over the years, but this time he finishes just ahead of Dave and Chris to secure this round's Strongest Link title, while Dave overhauls Tom as the top cumulative scorer so far. |
| Matthew Tassier The top 4 finished well clear, and Tom had a strong finish to grab the last spot in the penultimate round. This leaves Jack with his highest finish yet coming in in 7th place and in 6th another great showing from Sam achieving his 4th top 10 finish. So Sam and Jack you are the Weakest Links. Goodbye! |
 | Jack Worsley This format is brutal against Rex. Can't be unhappy with 7th overall though, especially as I thought I was toast a few rounds ago. Another great tournament, Tass, thanks for hosting! Best of luck to the final five. |
 | Sam Shepherd Yes, I'm pleased with 6th. I had close shaves in a couple of earlier rounds, so could easily have finished much further down the rankings. Thanks again for hosting Matthew, always a fun tournament! |
Tourney round: Weakest Link Numbers Tournament - 2024: Round 22 - Octolock
Notes from the organizer: For the 4th consecutive year the Gods of Random have lined up Rex as your opponent for the Octolock round. With larges of 20, 30, 40 and 50 and only 5 numbers to work with, it can be an unfamiliar task, particularly as Rex will choose the rarely played (outside of this tournament!) 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: 7
Weakest Links required: 2
Highest WL Octolock score: 167 - Mervyn Tong (2016)
