Apterous Masters 2021

From Countdown

The Apterous Masters 2021 was an online Countdown tournament and was the 14th running of the Apterous Masters. It was run by Tom Carey, and was won by Jack Worsley.

A record 93 players signed up including the 23 Masters listed below. This therefore was the largest Countdown tournament ever, an increase of 15% on the previous record.

Minor changes for this year were the inclusion of two Prunes rather than byes for two players (such as the extra round for just two players in the 2011 tournament), and fresh draws after each qualifying round.

The Q1 draw took place on Apterous at 00:00 GMT on 1 March 2021, and was conducted by Carey and Rhys Benjamin. The Q2 draw took place on Apterous at 11:00 GMT on 19 March 2021, and was conducted by Carey and Philip Aston. The Q3 draw took place on Apterous at 23:20 BST on 3 April 2021, and was conducted by Carey and Elliott Mellor.

The Round 1 draw took place at 21:00 BST on 21 April 2021, and was conducted by Carey, Benjamin, and Mellor. The Round 2 draw took place at 22:00 BST on 13 May 2021, and was conducted by Carey and Matthew S Rutherford. The Quarter Final draw took place at 22:00 BST on 3 June 2021 and was conducted by Carey and Dave Robjohns; the semi final draw was also conducted by Carey and Rutherford and took place at 20:30 BST on 20 June 2021.
