The Championship of Champions is a televised knock-out tournament held every 2-3 years on the show between a selection of contestants who reached the final rounds of their series. Typically, only contestants who have appeared since the previous Championship of Champions are eligible to enter, however Darryl Francis was entered into Championship of Champions III rather than Championship of Champions II, and Jon Corby was permitted into Championship of Champions XIII rather than Championship of Champions XII as the line-up of XII was determined before he made his debut on the show.
Format
The first eight CoC tourneys were each contested between eight people. From CoC IX onwards, they have been contested between 16, with the exception of CoC X which was shortened to one week so as to conclude on New Year's Eve, just before the turn of the century. Each round is played in succession- the eighth-finals (Championship of Champions IX onwards only), followed by the quarter-finals, then the semi-finals, and finally the grand final itself. The final for CoC I was a 9 round game. However, from then until the changeover to the 15 round format, CoC finals were 14 round games, in line with series grand finals.
