-The '''Championship of Champions''' (often abbreviated ''CoC'' or ''C of C'', or referred to in the shortened form ''Champion of Champions'') is a televised knock-out tournament held every few years on the show between a selection of contestants who reached the final rounds of their series. Typically, only contestants who have appeared since the previous Championship of Champions are eligible to enter, however [[Darryl Francis]] was entered into [[Championship of Champions III]] rather than [[Championship of Champions II]], and [[Jon Corby]] was permitted into [[Championship of Champions XIII]] rather than [[Championship of Champions XII]] as the line-up of XII was determined before he made his debut on the show.

-During the early 2010s, the Championship of Champions tournament had been on a temporary, unofficial hiatus, seemingly because some members of the Countdown team believed it would increase the players' standard of gameplay beyond what the average viewer could appreciate. The [[30th Birthday Championship]], held at the start of 2013, was the only televised Countdown event longer than the series finals to take place during this period. Additionally, standalone [[special episode]]s were held between the two series champions of 2009 – [[Kirk Bevins]] and [[Chris Davies (Series 61)|Chris Davies]] – and between the series champions of 2011 – [[Edward McCullagh]] and [[Graeme Cole]]; all four later entered the 30th Birthday Championship as well. The CoC hiatus ended with the airing of [[Championship of Champions XIV]] at the start of 2016.

-The first eight CoC tourneys were each contested between eight people. From [[Championship of Champions IX|CoC IX]] onwards, they have been contested between 16, with the exception of [[Championship of Champions X|CoC X]], which was shortened to one week so as to conclude on New Year's Eve just before the turn of the 21st century. Each round is played in succession -- the eighth-finals (Championship of Champions IX onwards only), followed by the quarter-finals, then the semi-finals, and finally the grand final itself. The final for [[Championship of Champions I|CoC I]] was a [[9 round format|9 round game]]. However, from then until the changeover to the (all-purpose) [[15 round format]]s, CoC finals were [[14 round format|14 round games]], in line with series grand finals.

 Contestants from [[Series 60]] to [[Series 66|66]] were instead entered into the [[30th Birthday Championship]] in 2013. Though this was a much larger event, featuring 41 total players, there were 16 entrants from this time span, the same as would be in a regular Championship of Champions.
