Rachel Copley

Rachel Copley in Series 88.

Rachel Copley was a finalist in Series 88. She was from Norwich at the time of her appearances.

Copley made her debut against Scott McKechnie on August 25 2023, winning with 87 points to McKechnie's 58 points. From here, she continued a strong run, scoring two centuries with a personal best of 102 in her seventh game. She narrowly missed out on octochampdon losing to Talaha Modak by just one point, but with 712 points across her eight games, it was enough to eventually qualify for the finals much later in the series as the seventh seed.

Number 2 seed Viraj Seelam was her quarter-final opponent, in what turned out to be a very cagey affair. Copley kept pace early on, but Viraj eventually pulled away with one of the key factors being Rachel only taking 10 out of 37 available points in the numbers rounds. Seelam wrapped up his victory before the conundrum, which he also solved to add to Rachel's second defeat; she finished with 59 points and a final overall points total of 771 from her nine appearances.
