Callum Todd was the champion of Series 69, and in doing so became the first non-octochamp to be a series champion since Ben Wilson in Series 46.
After scraping through his first 3 games, he joined Apterous, and greatly improved his performances in his next 4 shows, before controversially losing to Abdirizak Hirsi on a tie-break conundrum in his 8th game, but his 7 wins and 747 points were enough to see him qualify for the finals as the #7 seed.
In the quarters, he was up against the record-breaking #2 seed, Jen Steadman, and after falling behind early on, he turned it around to win by 3 points in a 108 – 105 game. His semi-final saw him take on the #3 seed, Glen Webb, and despite his 6 small numbers games letting him down, he managed to put in a convincing 107 – 82 victory to take him into the final against the record-breaking octototaller Dylan Taylor.
Todd went behind in the first round, but equalised immediately, and both contestants maxed the next 12 rounds, leading to the crucial conundrum IHURTPALM, which Todd solved after 4.5 seconds to win the final with a score of 126 – 116.
