Countdown tournament at The Hive
Fan of Channel 4’s “Countdown”?
Ever fancied having a go in the flesh but without the pressure of the studio lights? Then this could be for you- read on!
Roll up, roll up! And welcome to the debut Co-event in Worcester, Co:cester! Hosted by Countdown record holder Tom Stevenson.
Six games of Countdown against fellow fans of the show will give you a taste of what it is like to play for the *in this case, imaginary* teapot!
Format: Playing six 9-round games of Countdown in the “classroom” format, where everyone plays in pairs from the same selections projected onto a screen.
The Numbers games will have the same target, but the player choosing (be it yourself or your opponent) will select either the 6 Small, 1,2.3 or 4 Large selections before the numbers appear and the target is generated.
