Series 33
Series 33, also known as the Supreme Championship, ran from September 1996 to December 1996. It featured many of the best contestants from the previous thirty two series, and was won by Harvey Freeman.
The entrants comprised 26 series champions, three Championship of Champions winners who were not regular series champions and 25 other finalists from the first 32 series. The six champions of the first 32 series not to compete in the Supreme Championship were Andrew Guy, Nic Brown, Rajaretnam Yogasagarar, Darren Shacklady, David Acton and Alan Sinclair.
Unlike a normal series, the Supreme Championship operated on a strict knock-out basis. The contestants were organised into seven groups, and the winner of each group went through to the finals. Most groups had eight contestants and were based on the obvious three-round knockout, while groups C, D and F had only seven and gave a first-round bye to Harvey Freeman, Joyce Cansfield and Wayne Summers respectively. Chris Rogers qualified for the quarter-finals by virtue of having won Championship of Champions VIII, which had immediately preceded the championship proper.
