The method by which seedings for this series were calculated is not known. Sheila Mann had the highest number of points and the most wins, but was rated as only the fourth seed. David Myerscough was given a seeding place for his score of 50, the highest losing score of the series. The series is also unusual for having sixteen finalists, especially as there were only 38 contestants in the whole series, meaning that nearly half the contestants qualified for the finals.
