CoLei 2009 or CoLei2 as it is more commonly known, is the second time that Countdown in Leicester was organized. It was held on Saturday 10th October at the The Stoneycroft Hotel in Leicester, and hosted by Jeff Clayton. It was won by Jon O'Neill, who beat Kirk Bevan in the final 100 - 97.
22 people entered this time, compared to 9 in 2008.
The tournament started with a qualifying round of 14 rounds (the same as the old finals format), in which every contestant played independently. This decided the seeds. However, the actual pairings were picked randomly. The first game was a 15 rounds, and the next 2 games were 9 rounds (due to time constraints). The final game was between consecutive seeds (1st plays 2nd, 3rd plays 4th etc.)and was played for final position; every game apart from the 'final' between Jon and Kirk was played with 9 rounds. After this the final was played as an exhibition match with 15 rounds.
