Revision as of 19:51, 20 October 2020

The Countdown Online Masters is an online tournament organised by Ben Wilson in February 2008. It pits many of the best players from recent years against each other, alongside a few "wildcards" from the wider Countdown community. The winner was Paul Howe, who was awarded the victory after Conor Travers was unable to complete the final of the tournament.

Play-ins

Before the tournament proper, a number of play-ins were organised to select the wildcard players. These were open to anyone, and eight people volunteered for just four spaces. Unexpectedly the number of wildcard spaces was reduced to three, and Corby and O'Donnell were drawn to play again, with Corby emerging victorious. Hence he proceeded to the tournament proper alongside Pugh and Hargreaves.

COMA

The five masters available to participate were Conor Travers, Mark Tournoff, Jon O'Neill, Paul Howe and Chris Wills. Also invited were Craig Beevers, Paul Gallen and Julian Fell who declined to play for various reasons.

Due to a strange bug in the CountGen application then used to generate selections, the letter O was completely absent from all letters rounds in the finals.
