Is this correct?

For safeguarding purposes, Countdown will now only use the first names of the contestants on their nameplates - no more surnames.

Just the nameplates or their name as referred to on the show at all times?

Just listing the greatest players: Harvey Freeman, Julian Fell, Conor Travers, John from Coventry.
