Championship of Champions I ran from 15 to 23 October 1984, and was won by Mark Nyman. It marked the first time Countdown was broadcast Monday to Friday.

1 Mark Nyman Final 62
2 Joyce Cansfield Champion 65
3 Andrew Guy Champion 61
4 Ash Haji Champion 58
5 Brian Hudson Champion 55
6 Russell Byers Final 59
7 Christine Hunt Final 56
8 William Bradford Semi-Final 69

The order by which seedings were determined is not known. However, it is thought likely that seeds 2 to 8 were ranked first on how far they reached, followed by their highest score in a preliminary game. Mark Nyman may have been "wildcarded" to number 1 seed, based on his overall performance, having won more games than any other player (10), and achieved the highest outright score (79), albeit in his quarter final rather than a preliminary game.
