List of 9-round double 60 games

From Countdown

This list includes all the 9-round double 60 games in Countdown history (both contestants scoring at least 60 points). The first 9-round game was broadcast on 2 November 1982 and the last regular one on 20 September 2001 (six more were played in the following two years in the Junior Championship and Ladies' Championship). In that time, just over 3,000 episodes were broadcast, in which there were 24 9-round double 60 games. It is significant as it is the equivalent of a double century game in the 15-round format.

Stuart Schofield and Robert Richland were the first pair of contestants to achieve this, on 3 May 1984.
