University Challenge 2019-20: Best Buzzer Per Team

OK, time to start looking back at the series of UC just finished. Starting with, what is very much, the legacy portion of it, largely redundant in this era where almost every online commentator keeps track of these things. Still, for old times' sake, here are the best players on the buzzer for every QF team:

Brandon (Imperial) - 35 over six matches
Liam Hughes (Trinity) - 34 over six matches
Clare Jones (Wolfson) - 29 over five matches
Arthur Raffle (Durham) - 23 over seven matches
Ian Wang (Corpus Christi) - 21 over six matches
Lucy Clarke (Jesus) - 19 over six matches
Harry Prance (Courtauld) - 17 over four matches
James Green (Manchester) - 16 over four matches

And honourable mentions to:

William Tams (Durham) - 21 over seven matches
Alex Gunasekera and Will Stewart (Corpus Christi) - 19 each over six matches
Caleb Rich (Imperial) - 19 over six matches
Joseph Webber (Trinity) - 18 over six matches
Joe Cooper (Durham) - 15 over seven matches
James Cashman (Jesus) - 14 over six matches
Richard Brooks (Imperial) - 13 over six matches

As usual, I have the full stats for all eight teams; if you want the whole thing, get in touch on here or on Twitter.

Back on Friday with my usual fuller end of series line-up.

  1. I compiled the table for average no. of correct starters per game, and the top 5 on that metric is:
    Cook (Huddersfield) 6.5
    Brandon (Imperial) 5.83
    Jones (Wolfson) 5.8
    Hughes (Trinity) 5.7
    Whitworth (Glasgow) 5.5
    Just thought I'd mention it!
