This '''list of 9-round scores over 75''' includes all the game scores over 75 (including 75 itself) in the history of the [[9-round format]]. The first 9-round show was shown on the 2nd of November 1982, the last on 20th of September 2001. In this period just more than 3000 9-round shows were shown and the highest score ever achieved was 83, first by [[Stephen Balment]] in 1987 and second by [[Allan Saldanha]] in 1996, most notably because it was the [[Series 33|Supreme Championship]] and he was playing Series 6 winner [[Darryl Francis]].
