Championship of Champions XIII was the most recent Championship of Champions tournament, and was won by Steve Briers. It took place just before the start of Series 60, with players from Series 55, 56, 57, 58 and 59 taking part mainly, although one of the contestants, Jon Corby, was from Series 54 and did not participate in the the Championship of Champions event that followed suit due to the lineup for this contest having already been decided by that point. Craig Beevers, the series 57 champion and favourite for the tournament, declined his invitation. The championship marked the debut of Jeff Stelling and Rachel Riley as presenters, as well as the new "numbery" blue set.
The draw for the tournament was made on the morning of 30 October 2008 and announced by Damian Eadie on the c4countdown forum.
CoC XIII was notable for apparently having used an unusual shuffling system for generating the piles of letters for use in its letters rounds, leading to frequent long strings of twice- and thrice-repeated letters, especially vowels. For example, in the history of the 15-round era, the vowel pile has contained three consecutive I's only five times; four of these occurrences were during CoC XIII.
