In Zarte's prediction game, EVERY PERSON guessed a win for JW with margins ranging from 5 to 60 points and an average margin of 30.73. Maus has taken over prediction game as I have too much to do atm, so if you ask kindly he might give you updates. Oh yeah, live updates. I'm keeping scores, can pos...

After Jonathan smashed it yesterday, we now have a match between series 74 runner up and the only woman in the tournament Ann Dibben and uhh, series 77 semi finalist John Cowen. In the prediction game, it was an exact 80-20 split with 80% of you predicting Ann to win (with a maximum margin of 33 poi...

Thomas Carey

It's COC time! And kicking us off we have the guy who succeeded where I failed, series 73 wynner Jonathan Wynn versus thankfully not my local MP, series 78 semi finalist Phil Davies. (I'll put stats here in a few hours I am so so tired happy new year everyone) In Zarte's prediction game, EVERY PERSO...

Yeah, genuinely completely agree with Gev on all this, the 'bread' has so many purposes. I have no idea how you could mop up with a poppadom cause in terms of texture it's basically a big crisp (also most of the times I go out for a curry the poppadoms are gone before they bring out the curry anyway...

Thomas Carey

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiit's the final! It's been a pretty long series, we've had lots of 7 and 8 time winners, and some strong contestants that didn't even make it that far. Many people from the series (including one of our finalists!) have since come to join us, and it's generally been a very good time. But ...

Thomas Carey

Thursday the 20th. After Martin May's cracking performance yesterday, it is time to find out who will join him in the final of series 79? Will it be #2 seed Mike Daysley? Will it be #5 seed Alan Duval? Let's do some countdown to find out. Mike Daysley: Points: 890 (98.889 per game) Maxes: 70/135 (52...

Thomas Carey

Gotta love the first semi final of a series! Tony Manwani caused another slight seeding upset yesterday with a good win over Dave and now gets to face our number 1 seed Martin May. Will Tony cause another upset? Will the conundrum be solved again? Let's find out! Martin May Points: 954 (106 per game...

Thomas Carey

After a very tight and low scoring game, Alan causes a seeding upset by beating Andrew with what was apparently the lowest winning score in a QF in the 15-round era. Now we have the final two contestants, hopefully giving us another close game between two contestants with consecutive octoruns, #5 se...

Thomas Carey

Mike also won as expected. Now onto what could be a very good game between two very similar ability players who narrowly avoided each other in the series, maths student with strong numbers skills Andrew Jackson vs New Zealander and giver of a conundrum to Elliott Mellor, Alan Duval. Andrew Jackson: ...

Thomas Carey

Martin won that one fairly predictably, though Bob put up a good fight. The second quarter final of the lot, and already we're into the octochamp vs octochamp games. New aptoforumite and general madlad Mike Daysley is #2 seed, and he'll be taking on vaguely well known screenwriter Adam Rolston in #8...

It's quarter final time! #1 seed, Apterite and general cool guy Martin May takes on lucky to be here #9 seed, 7 time winner and combover king Bob Lunt. And now for a bunch of stats: Martin May: Wins: 8 Points: 839 (104.875 per game) Maxes: 61/120 (51%) (34/80 (43%) letters, 21/32 (66%) numbers, 6/8 ...

Thomas Carey

Last prelim of the series!!!! Who will we see in series 80??? Will it be Brendan Whitehurst, looking to add to his 3 strong wins today? Or will it be someone else? Find out fairly soon!!!!!

Thomas Carey

Two good wins for Brendan, two prelims remaining. Seems to me like that's a lot of twos.

Thomas Carey

Brendan Whitehurst got a pretty great 110 debut on Friday and with 3 prelims to go looks like a strong contender for the coveted position of Carryover Guy. Here's his second game.

Thomas Carey

Looking at the general rating of Bounty, I think having Bounty as your worst thing is a good problem to have. Heroes have Eclairs... ^^. Eclairs are fine if that's what you want but it's a chocolate selection box thing so generally you don't. Although heroes do seem to push the definition of chocol...

Thomas Carey

Nikolaus! Mark Jeary won his second game on a tie break yesterday, how well will he do?

Thomas Carey

Yeah bounty and Snickers top two easy. Fight me

Thomas Carey

Julie Gray is smashing them crucial conundrums and as someone said is the only person left who could give us ---NINE OCTOCHAMPS--- let's see what happens here

Thomas Carey

December! Julie Gray had a good comeback on Friday, now it's get second game

Thomas Carey

Andrew Jackson's making a late rush for the finals, with up to two games left to go (though winning today's might be enough). Can he do it?

What is the opinion?

Thomas Carey

We're at Birmingham and it's lit. Countdown on a Saturday for the first time since 2006, mental. 3:45 start I think? Andrew Jackson's trying for his fourth win or something. Cool.

And now some words from Callum Todd:

Nitwit. Tweak. Oddment. Blubber.

Cheers pal

7th president of the United States of America Andrew Jackson is back for game three!!!! Exciting stuff; semi colon,; how will he do? Find out at ten past 2 everybody. Good show

Thomas Carey

Could I have speedrunners please (and if you're feeling really generous, ultimate chicken horse as well?) Thanks a lot :) Looking back I don't know why I gave you ultimate chicken horse. I can't remember if I thought I already had it or I wasn't excited by it, but subsequently got high with a frien...

Yeah whoops got confused by him being 6th seed

Thomas Carey

And Alan makes it six octos! Can one of the TWO NEW CONTESTANTS be our 7th?

Thomas Carey

Alan Duval is still here, having destroyed his opponent yesterday. Can he win a 7th?

Thomas Carey

After Elliott's brief cameo we're back with Alan for game 5.

Anyone seen the German film "Look Who's Back" ("Er ist wieder da")? It's pretty dark, but really funny (if you like that kind of humour) and I think has some interesting points to make. It's basically "what if Hitler came back in the present day and what would he do" a...

Thomas Carey

Bonfires and ting. Chris is going for his 5th win here, let's see how he fares.

Thomas Carey

Happy 36th birthday Countdown! Chris is going for his 4th win, and most people who have got that this series have done pretty well. Hit it.

Thomas Carey

Chris Sturdy got a spooky win yesterday, let's see how his third game goes.

Thomas Carey

Continuing the large run of recognisable people, it's Georgia Goulding vs Chris Sturdy. How will they fare?

Thomas Carey

At a co event recently with very few "proper countdown players" the few of us decided to not take the piss, i.e. if there was a lot of spottable 7s and one obscure bullshit 8 to declare 7 if the opponent did. Obviously there's nothing you can really do if they declare like 5 but eh I think...

Thomas Carey

For the 7th time this series, we have two new contestants! Let's see what else happens.

Thomas Carey

Martin May has hit 6 wins by now. Let's see what today's challenger can do.

Khachik, according to somebody else's list. He's fairly regular on apterous. Edited/updated my post.

Thomas Carey

79, 79. Paul Hollidge won a closely fought battle yesterday so now he's the man to beat.

Thomas Carey

Andy Wedlake sure did win a game yesterday and if his shirt is half as good this time I can't wait to see what he's got

Thomas Carey

Five octochamps in quick succession now. Will we get another soon? Will someone break that successive #1 seeds record Johnny was on about? Whatever man two new contestants here glhf

Thomas Carey

Mike's going for the octochamp.

A win with at least 60 points puts him top seed, which surely must be doable. He needs 49 points for seed 2 and 30 for seed 3. Should he lose, 41 points puts him at seed 5, else he'll stay in 6th. Let's go

Thomas Carey

Mike's back again. Let's go

Thomas Carey

Lowest debut score for an octochamp? (57 happened recently which must be close to the 15 round record. I guess do whatever with previous runs). Series champ?

How many games (that we know of) have not had GO available as a valid 2?

Looking forward to some very meaty stats after coc

Thomas Carey

That was one of the weirdest episode openings ever, according to Zarte. Im not really watching. Mike's won a few, how's he gonna do today?

Thomas Carey

Yeah great to briefly meet you, you were definitely 'kind of cool' in our weird group as you kept saying. You brought so much to the game. Top lad, good luck with all your shite

Thomas Carey

Mike Daysley bàck for a third game what's he gonna do
