Revision as of 13:16, 26 November 2015

Championship of Champions XIV will be the next Championship of Champions tournament, as well as the first since 2009. It is scheduled to be transmitted from 4 to 22 January 2016, occupying the first three weeks of Series 74, with filming taking place from 23 to 25 November 2015.

CoC XIV's existence was announced on the C4Countdown forums on the evening of 31 July 2014 with initial plans for a January 2015 transmission date. However, it was later postponed twice, firstly to make way for the special episodes at the end of Series 71 and the second to avoid undue interruptions as a result of horse racing in the summer.

The Countdown Team has announced that CoC XIV will feature sixteen top players drawn from Series 67 through 72. Series 73 finalists are not expected to participate because the championship will be filmed too soon after the Series 73 finals.

All sixteen participants in CoC XIV are – or have recently been – practising Apterites. Fifteen are also octochamps (the only exception being Callum Todd). Despite this, however, only one of the entrants, Giles Hutchings, has never been defeated, largely on account of many recent series winners having previously competed during the 9-round era.

Planned Pairings

The bracket structure and planned first-round pairings for this Championship of Champions were announced on C4Countdown on 7 September 2015. They run as follows:

Tom Cappleman (72) vs Glen Webb (69)
Heather Styles (67) vs Giles Hutchings (68)
Andy Platt (68) vs David Barnard (67)
The Record Holder Dylan Taylor (69) vs Tracey Mills (72)
George Ford (71) vs Jen Steadman (69)
Callum Todd (69) vs Samir Pilica (70)
Cool Dan McColm (71) vs Paul James (67)
Antoinette Ryan (71) vs Mark Murray (70)
The winner of each game is displayed in bold.
The numbers refer to the series in which each contestant originally played in the finals.
