As part of the deal, Wu took the title and the seat in the grand final taking place in Bristol in December 2008.

  2. Robin Yiltalo — £20,500
  3. Rory Mathews — £20,500
  4. Philip Scott — £7,300
  5. Richard Lapwood — £5,100
  6. Jamie Coonan — £3,250
  7. John Lynch — £2,800
  8. Mark Greenwood — £2,300
  9. Alistair Findlay — £1,850
