| − | The '''800 club''' is inhabited by those players who amass a total score of at least eight hundred in their heat games. This is significant because it implies an average score of a [[century]] or more.

| − | Those in '''bold''' are also members of the '''850 club''', a more elite subdivision of the 800 club. When [[Tom Hargreaves]] set his octochamp total of 850 at the start of 2002, [[Damian Eadie]] remarked that it would "stand for many moons". It didn't, but any player to reach that benchmark can certainly consider themselves among the all-time greats. Amongst these players, [[Dylan Taylor]] (who is actually top of the list) is the highest ranked not to have won his Series.

| − | | |
| − | To date, 13 octochamps, in addition to averaging over a century, have scored 100 points or more in all eight of their heat games. They are shown in '''''bold italic''''' above.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Although it is in theory possible for a player to join the 800 club without completing an octochamp run (in particular, if he or she were to win seven games and lose the final one), to date this has never happened, with the highest non-octochamp point total – made by [[Steve Baines]] of [[Series 57]] – still falling 42 points short of 800.
