Revision as of 15:56, 21 January 2016
Championship of Champions XIV is the current Championship of Champions tournament, as well as the first since 2009. It is being broadcast from 4 to 22 January 2016, occupying the first three weeks of Series 74.
CoC XIV's existence was announced on the C4Countdown forums on the evening of 31 July 2014 with initial plans for a January 2015 transmission date. However, it was later postponed to make way for the special episodes at the end of Series 71, and a transmission at the start of Series 73 was also infeasible due to frequent horse racing coverage in the summer.
CoC XIV features sixteen top players drawn from Series 67 through 72, with Series 73 finalists not participating because the championship was filmed too soon after the Series 73 finals.
This tournament's qualifying standards were undoubtedly the highest of any Championship of Champions to date. All sixteen participants in CoC XIV are – or have recently been – practising Apterites. Fifteen are also octochamps (the only exception being Callum Todd). Despite this, however, only one of the entrants, Giles Hutchings, has never been defeated, largely on account of many recent series winners having previously competed and later being asked to return to the show. Of the ten highest-scoring octochamps in Countdown's history up to this point, six became CoC XIV participants, including the three highest of all time (Dylan Taylor, Giles Hutchings and Jen Steadman). The average preliminary-game point total for a CoC XIV entrant was 867 points, significantly higher than the octototals of either of the two previous Champions of Champions, Paul Gallen and Steven Briers. With the exception of those from Series 67, which featured none of its members, all octochamps in CoC XIV belonged to the 800 club.
Progress
The bracket structure and first-round pairings for this Championship of Champions were announced on C4Countdown on 7 September 2015. They run as follows:
Tom Cappleman (72) vs Glen Webb (69) | Tom Cappleman vs Giles Hutchings | Giles Hutchings vs Dylan Taylor |
Dylan Taylor vs Dan McColm |
Heather Styles (67) vs Giles Hutchings (68) | |||

Dylan Taylor (69) vs Tracey Mills (72) | |||
George Ford (71) vs Jen Steadman (69) | Jen Steadman vs Callum Todd | Jen Steadman vs Dan McColm | |
Callum Todd (69) vs Samir Pilica (70) | |||
Dan McColm (71) vs Paul James (67) | Dan McColm vs Mark Murray | ||
Antoinette Ryan (71) vs Mark Murray (70) |
The numbers refer to the series in which each contestant originally played in the finals.
