 Six players qualified as [[octochamp]]s while two players won seven and lost the final game. Craig Beevers eased past [[Mikey Lear]] but #2 seed [[James Hurrell]] lost a close game to [[Steve Baines]] on a crucial [[conundrum]]. [[Jeffrey Hansford]] was held to a crucial conundrum by [[David Von Geyer]], but Hansford spotted {{word|PARQUETRY}} in less than a quarter of a second, amazing the spectators in the studio. [[David Edwards (Series 57)|David Edwards]] faced [[James Roberts]] in the final quarter-final, and David won. The first semi-final brought no surprises as Beevers won with almost twice as many points as Edwards, and Hansford beat Baines. The conundrum in this game was controversial; Hansford buzzed in straight away, but made a small hesitation before giving the answer to [[Des O'Connor|Des]] and Des duly disallowed it. Baines, who of course already had the answer, sportingly let the time run out and didn't take the ten points.

 In the final, Beevers was on good form and spotted the maximum solution from every game apart from the first numbers. He beat Hansford with {{word|AMMONITE}}, {{word|SNIFTER}} and {{word|OUTRANGE}} and the final [[numbers game]] to give him an unassailable lead after 14 rounds. In typical style, Hansford buzzed in less than a second with the right answer, this time allowed by Des. Surprisingly, neither player returned for [[Championship of Champions XIII|the following Championship of Champions tournament]].
