Order of Preference for Winners of University Challenge (least preferred first):
1) Durham
2) Any Oxbridge College*
3) Loughborough
4) Any Old University apart from...
5) Birmingham
6) Any New University
7) The Open University
(2) to (5) may be preferred to (6) if, and only if, the team is all women. The aged will be supported above all-women teams, so the Open University is always most favoured.
* There are gradations here, of course (Gonville and Caius, Cambridge would be preferred to Christchurch, Oxford. Balliol, Oxford would be favoured above Peterhouse, Cambridge), but that would take too long.
