Century

A century is an occurrence of a player scoring 100 points. This was not possible in the 9 round format as it required the players to score more than 11 points per round, which requires at least 3 nine letter words in 6 letters rounds. However before the 15 round era, centuries were possible in 14 round games. Centuries have become relatively common in 15 round games. The first ever century was by Clive Spate in the final of Series 8. He scored 107 points in the 14 round game. The first ever century in a 15 round game was by Ian McMenzie in the 4th game of Series 46
