Appearances on the programme
Series 69
Debuting up against eventual series champion Callum Todd, Dexter played a good game and remained close to the end, but ultimately lost on a crucial conundrum DOTSTIRED which Todd unscrambled to DISTORTED.
Series 87
As a result of that unfortunate matchup, just under 10 years later and with now a few more years of practice on Apterous behind him, Dexter was allowed to return and made his second debut coincidentally just two shows after Ronan Higginson made his mark. Adam began with a century against one-time winner Shahid Chandna; this guaranteed a Teapot unlike his last appearance.
ZoomDown
He also appeared in ZoomDown Series 4 where despite narrowly missing out on being a tetrachamp to fellow Apterite Martin Thomas, he made it to the finals, winning against Apterite Andres Sanchez but losing against Apterite Ronan Higginson. This performance also allowed him to qualify for the ZoomDown Championship of Champions where he was overpowered by Elliott Mellor, although Dexter got the last word by unscrambling SPARECOCK to ROCKSCAPE after Elliott initially provided an incorrect guess.
Other Tournament Highlights
Outside of Countdown and ZoomDown Series 4, he participated in an online tournament or two before attending COLIN 2010 where he finished in 26th place, he did better when he returned in COLIN 2012 and then appeared at CobliviLon later that year. One of his best unofficial Co-Event finishes was at Brighton 2022, where he finished in the Top 10 and only lost one game all day.
