The 800 club is inhabited by those players from the 15-round era 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. There are currently 107 members of the club, all of whom are octochamps.

Progression
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. The 850 club has been discussed very little in the post-Richard Whiteley era, with Apterous and other easily accessible resources pushing the standard of the top players ever higher.
Four 15-round series – Series 46, 49, 56 and 67 – have featured no players with heat-game totals over 800. (Though players in Series 46 were restricted to a maximum of six wins instead of eight in heat games, all totals from this series would still be below 800 if they were to be multiplied by 8/6.)
To date, 29 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 they 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 Martyn Simpson of Series 82 – still falling short of 800. Simpson, Philip Aston, Chris Hunt, John Aziz and, in Series 69, Zarte Siempre averaged over 100 points in runs that featured losses, but only played seven, seven, seven, six and six preliminaries respectively. Again, this is primarily as a result of the ability of skilled 15-round contestants to build up momentum and greater absolute leads over less skilled opponents, especially as compared to those in the 9-round era.
