Revision as of 23:56, 16 June 2011 by JRTerrier24 (talk | contribs)

This is list of 9-round scores over 75 shows all the game scores over 75 in the history of the 9-round show. 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 Supreme Championship and he was playing Series 6 winner Darryl Francis.
