- For the reduced seven-letter variant of Countdown, see Countdown Junior. For the unsuccessful children's pilot, see Junior Countdown.
The Junior Championship was a special tournament that took place during Series 47.
It featured Perry Fung from Series 40, Amey Deshpande and Andrew Hulme from Series 42, and Bruce Lambert from Series 43, with Andrew Hulme coming out the overall winner.
Three contestants from the Junior Championship would begin new runs on Countdown as adults. Amey Deshpande became an octochamp and quarter-finalist of Series 56, Andrew Hulme became an octochamp with the then-record 930-point octorun total and runner-up in Series 61, and Bruce Lambert returned but lost his first game in Series 63.
These games were of the 9-round format, although broadcast during the 15-round era. They are (along with the Ladies' Championship in Series 49) the only 9-round games to feature Teatime Teasers, or whatever they were called then.
