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