List of 9-round joint scores over 120
This list includes all the 9-round joint scores over 120, not including 120 itself. The first 9-round game was broadcast on 2 November 1982 and the last regular one on 20 September 2001 (six more were played in the following two years in the Junior Championship and Ladies' Championship). In that time, just over 3,000 episodes were broadcast, in which there were 60 9-round joint scores over 120. 120 is an important number as it implies that both contestants scored 60, the equivalent of a century in the 15-round format.
Stuart Schofield and Robert Richland were the first pair of contestants to achieve this, with 145 in May 1984, which is also the highest ever if the extra points from the tiebreak conundrum in Episode 817 aren't counted.
