The '''Championship of Champions XIII''' will be the next [[Championship of Champions]] tournament. According to an announcement made by [[Damian Eadie]] on the [[C4countdown]] message board, it will be held at the start of Series 60, with players from [[Series]] [[Series 54|54]], [[series 55|55]], [[series 56|56]], [[Series 57|57]], [[series 58|58]] and [[series 59|59]] taking part in the tournament. [[Craig Beevers]], the series 57 champion and favourite for the tournament, declined his invitation. The draw for the tournament was made on the morning of October 30th 2008 and announced by Eadie on the c4countdown forum. The games will be as follows:

'''Championship of Champions XIII''' ran for three weeks from 12 to 30 January 2009, and was the last prior to the unofficial [[Championship of Champions|CoC]] hiatus that was in place during the early 2010s. The championship marked the début of [[Jeff Stelling]] and [[Rachel Riley]] as [[presenter]]s, and was the last CoC to be recorded at [[The Leeds Studios]] in {{w|Yorkshire}}. It was won by [[Steven Briers|Steve Briers]].

The draw for this Championship of Champions was made on the morning of 30 October 2008 and announced by [[Damian Eadie]] on the [[c4countdown]] forum. It took place during the first three weeks of [[Series 60]], with mainly players from [[Series 55]] through [[Series 59|59]] taking part, although one of the [[contestant]]s, [[Jon Corby]], was from [[Series 54]] and did not participate in [[Championship of Champions XII|the previous CoC]] due to the lineup for this contest having already been decided by that point. [[Craig Beevers]], the [[Series 57]] [[Series Winners|champion]] and favourite for the tournament, declined his invitation due to [[Scrabble]] commitments.
 +
 +
The championship also marked the début of the now-familiar blue set, featuring the distinctive letters and numbers patterns, which would be redesigned in [[Series 77]]. The purple and orange cloudy background in the opening title sequence and break cues were also replaced with a blue background.
 +
 +
CoC XIII was notable for apparently having used an unusual shuffling system for generating the piles of letters for use in its [[letters game]]s, leading to frequent long strings of twice- and thrice-repeated letters, especially vowels. For example, in the history of the [[15 round format|15-round era]], the vowel pile has contained three consecutive {{word|I}}'s only five times; four of these occurrences were during CoC XIII.

Latest revision as of 15:37, 9 December 2022

This series marked the debut of the blue set; it would be redesigned in Series 77 in 2017.
"GAN...GANDI...SEEG?"
"Is it GANDISEEG?"

Championship of Champions XIII ran for three weeks from 12 to 30 January 2009, and was the last prior to the unofficial CoC hiatus that was in place during the early 2010s. The championship marked the début of Jeff Stelling and Rachel Riley as presenters, and was the last CoC to be recorded at The Leeds Studios in Yorkshire. It was won by Steve Briers.

The draw for this Championship of Champions was made on the morning of 30 October 2008 and announced by Damian Eadie on the c4countdown forum. It took place during the first three weeks of Series 60, with mainly players from Series 55 through 59 taking part, although one of the contestants, Jon Corby, was from Series 54 and did not participate in the previous CoC due to the lineup for this contest having already been decided by that point. Craig Beevers, the Series 57 champion and favourite for the tournament, declined his invitation due to Scrabble commitments.

The championship also marked the début of the now-familiar blue set, featuring the distinctive letters and numbers patterns, which would be redesigned in Series 77. The purple and orange cloudy background in the opening title sequence and break cues were also replaced with a blue background.

CoC XIII was notable for apparently having used an unusual shuffling system for generating the piles of letters for use in its letters games, leading to frequent long strings of twice- and thrice-repeated letters, especially vowels. For example, in the history of the 15-round era, the vowel pile has contained three consecutive I's only five times; four of these occurrences were during CoC XIII.
