Series 45

From Countdown

< Previous | Next >

Series 45 ran from 2 July to 21 September 2001. The forty-fifth of 53 series presented by Richard Whiteley was won by John Rawnsley. The series was shortened to make way for the 15 round format and didn't have any quarter-finals, just semi-finals and a final.

Series 45 is the most recent series to have not had any octochamps (with the exception of Series 46, which featured viscounts instead). Series 23, 25, 45, 63, 68, 77, 81, and 82 are the only series in which the finals went completely true to the seedings (i.e. the higher seed always beat the lower seed, with no upsets).

Seed table

Rank Name Wins Points
1 John Rawnsley 7 409
2 Geraldine Hylands 7 355
3 Craig Richardson 6 352
4 Phil Bennett 6 321
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.

NOTE: Geraldine Hylands was undefeated at the end of the series, and thus her 355 points came from 7 games whereas Rawnsley's 409 came from 8.
