Championship of Champions X ran from 27 to 31 December 1999, and was won by Scott Mearns. It was the first series to be broadcast in 16:9 aspect ratio.
Because the tournament was a lot shorter than normal, only lasting 5 games, Kate Ogilvie & Scott Mearns were given byes into the semi finals. It was to prove coincidental, that these 2 would play each other in the final. Both started with LAUGHS and Ogilvie stuck to him like glue, but then Mearns chose 6 small numbers and got the target, so Mearns managed an early lead, especially when he solved the conundrum MUDHUTLOO (answer:LOUDMOUTH) in 1 second. Richard Whiteley joked "Why were you so slow, Kate?" Carol Vorderman said she didn't solve Round 6's numbers game when Scott got the conundrum. Eventually, after the advertisement break, she said she had got it.
Mearns pulled away; it did not go down to a crucial conundrum. As it happened, neither player could solve UGREATONE. (answer:ENTOURAGE).
Scott Mearns had become the Champion of Champions.
