-Leaney won six games before the start of the Series 39 finals; he was offered the opportunity to carry over to the next series rather than enter the finals unbeaten as #7 seed (as there was some uncertainty about the final seedings board at the time of the end of filming of the heats, owing to #6 seed [[Vicky Smith]] not being able to make the studio dates for the quarter-finals), and he elected to do so.
