Seed table

Rank Name Wins Points
1 Paul Erdunast 8 925
2 Robin McKay 8 888
3 Ann Dibben 8 884
4 Conrad Teixeira 8 806
5** Dave Costello 8 713
6** Tim Down 8 717
7 Sean Cooke 5 541
8 Tony Lock 4 384
NOTE: Due to an administrative error, Costello was erroneously awarded 10 points for a tie-break conundrum, thus placing him above Down in the standings.
Since Series 60, 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 the number of conundrums correctly guessed, then highest single-game score.
