Quarter Finals
It was no surprise when Oliver Garner beat Claudia Tyson 123 – 75, but what was surprising was that it turned out that Seeds 2, 3, and 4 did not make it past the quarter finals. Instead, through went Seeds 5, 6 and 7. At this point, Oliver Garner's chances shot up, being a member of the 800 club.
Semi Finals
In the first semi final, Oliver Garner left Maths wizz Craig Chittenden in a less closely fought game than expected. In The Second semi final, there was a rematch between Nicki Sellars and Lee Graham, who had met before in the preliminary rounds, and then, Lee Graham came out on top 76 – 73. But in the Semi Final, revenge tasted sweet for Nicki, as Lee lost by a whopping 38 points, 89 – 51. A special could be expected between these two...
Final
So, it was number one seed Oliver Garner versus number 7 seed, Nicki Sellars. Facing a member of the 800 club, Nicki had no chance. However she clung on... but it was not to be. Oliver Garner won by 45 points, 107 – 62, and became Countdown's 62nd champion.
