Most are missing my point, when is the next 'normal' Champion of Champions?

'They' still had Champion of Champions either side-ish of Series 33...

Since the last Champion of Champions (XIII), surely CofCs XIV will happen at some point???

Good spot!

Fair play. Maybe a list of all the so-called GREATEST or BEST players, then a percentage rank on games played against each other in the 'elite list'? I think BEST and GREATEST is hugely subjective, but like most seeding and ranking systems (FIFA WORLD Football coefficients spring to my mind), there ...

Maybe in the future, are 'they' planning any Champion of Champions' events?

Are there anything anywhere where an 'Eggheads Wiki' or 'Recap Site' have been created, I'm pretty sure who the strongest and weakest Eggheads are, but I'd like to see all the percentage wins etc.

My money is on Pat, then Kevin second with Judith very much bottom.

Just watched this. Super game, to pull out a max game there is phenomonal Jon, one of, if not the, best performances of all time. Kinda disappointed that I already knew the result but it was classic nonetheless. As everyone has said, Jack is a credit to the game and it was great meeting you at the ...

Surely a three letter word is the smallest offered ever? But then again, I'm sure I've seen someone just give up and offer nothing; when probably there was a two or a three letter word there? For a given player's offerings during a game (e.g. 7,7,7,6,5,8,8,6,7,8,7) we take the maximum value. (So th...

...players who pussied out of their Champion of Championses and never faced the highest level of competition (e.g. Holden, Beevers) and therefore never risked their 100% record. LOL - both funny and controversial. It's obvious there must be a few players like that, but do you reckon Beevers really ...

I suppose you could rank loads of KPIs (say the most effective 5 or 10, like wins, % wins, average points etc etc), then score points for 1st to nth in each list from the top to the bottom, then add up all points from all lists and this may be more accurate? Come on your statos and number=bods - How...

So your metric is percentage of games won * percentage of total maximum points achieved. The shortcomings of this metric are: - It rewards players who pussied out of their Champion of Championses and never faced the highest level of competition (e.g. Holden, Beevers) and therefore never risked thei...

Frank only scored 69.64% + his 100% wins, this only just gets him inside top 30!

In the harsh 'World-Class' Countdown world that is my 'elite top 16', as good as Jack Worsley was yesterday, his first round slip-up in his 30th Birthday Championship quarter-final game with Jon O'Neill and eventual loss, puts him out of my elite top 16 and moves Octochamp, series champion and champ...

Sheesh... Tough crowd!

Any more typos or mistakes in my ranking list; or is someone actually going to make comments on its content?

Ooops!

Amazing game! I knew it'd be a close one, but I was expecting Jack to extend is 100% record for just ONE more game!

Nice at the end with the old, emotions from John, and Jack a true gent in defeat.

PS

This doesn't include today's televised game - which I've yet to watch!

PLEASE, if I've got anything wrong here, I'm sorry, and if anyone gets offended by not being in my elite top 16 or not being high enough, then I'm sorry! Countdown All-time ranks My elite 16... 96.295 Jack Hurst 95.645 Craig Beevers 94.095 Kirk Bevins 92.275 Stewart Holden 91.925 Oliver Garner 91.24...

Hi all. This is my first post on here, looks like a very nice forum, loads of 'Countdown Celebs' and I must admit, a few of my favourite contestants post on here, so I'm keen to interact. I've been watching the show since I was at Primary school (more-or-less when it stated), I record it every day a...
