Series 74

From Countdown

Series 74 was the ninth regular series of Countdown presented by Nick Hewer.

Series 74 ended on 24 June 2016, with Paul Erdunast emerging as series champion.

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	723
6	Tim Down	8	717
7	Sean Cooke	5	541
8	Tony Lock	4	384

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 individual score.

NOTE: Dave Costello's total of 723 includes the 10 points from the tiebreak conundrum he solved on his first show, which would normally not be counted, but has been presumably erroneously added on by the production team.
