Rank Name Wins Points
1 Terry Knowles 8 502
2 Kate Ogilvie 8 417
3 Vic Foster 7 448

5 Nick Buttle 6 374
6 Andrew Lucas 6 357
7 Pat Peacock 5 338
8 Valerie Swanick 4 270

NOTE: Vicky Smith had enough points to qualify for the finals as #7 seed, but couldn't make it for personal reasons. Glynn Leaney was undefeated at the end of the Series, but preferred to come back in Series 40, rather than qualify in Series 39 as #7 seed.

Between Series 38 and Series 59, players were sorted by number of wins, then by number of points. Points from both wins and losses count. Points from sudden death conundrums were not counted, and players with the same number of wins and points were sorted by highest score.
