ZoomDown Series 3

From Countdown

ZoomDown Series 3 was the third series of ZoomDown and was presented by Paul Anderson – with the exception of the first episode, which was guest-hosted by Callum Todd while Anderson was a contestant. It began on 22 February 2021, ended on 10 June 2021 and was won by Elliott Mellor.

Five contestants became tetrachamps, the most in a ZoomDown series so far.

Seed table

Rank Name Wins Points
1 Elliott Mellor 4 509
2 Zubair Patel 4 421
3 Fiona Titcombe 4 418
4 Graeme Cole 4 392
5 Steven Grady 4 378
6 Tom Cappleman 3 465
7 Johnny Canuck 3 445
8 Ruth Cappleman 3 331
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.

NOTE: Ashwin Abinashi withdrew from the competition for personal reasons, undefeated on 3 wins and 261 points. Ruth Cappleman was invited back to continue her run, so the points from her game with Abinashi are not included on the leaderboard.
