Seed table

Rank Name Wins Points
1 Clive Freedman 8 409
2 Julian Hough 6 329
3 Tim O'Kane 4+1 267
4 Robert Coton 4 214
5 Ian Bebbington 3 177
6 Jean Fish 3 152
7 Tim Davies 2+1 144
8 Gary Franks 2 104
Numbers after "+" signs in the Wins column represent drawn games.
Between Series 3 and Series 20, players were ranked by total number of points, including winning and drawing scores, but not losing ones.
NOTE 1: Marion Johnstone, with two wins and 109 points, would have been the #8 seed, but for unknown reasons, she didn't return for the finals, so Gary Franks took her place.
NOTE 2: Due to a rule that was in place at the time, win and point totals were reset if a player crossed a boundary between series. In addition to becoming an octochamp in Series 7, Clive Freedman had also won one additional game in Series 6.
