The Apterous Masters, formerly known as the Countdown Online Masters, (or by its acronym COMA), is a tournament organised each February/March, and is a straight knock-out event between 8-32 players.
Format
Top players are seeded into the first-round draw after being judged on their skill at the game as displayed in both televised and off-screen performances, such as at COLIN or CoBris events, or in online competitions such as COOT or COGST. Apterous ratings are also used as a judge of skill, but players must have appeared on Countdown or played at a real-life event to be invited- online skill alone is not enough.
Players who decline their invitations will be invited again the following year, but will not be invited a third time if they decline two invitations in a row.
2008
The 2008 tournament was won by Paul Howe, who beat Conor Travers in the final.

2010

2011
The 2011 began on February 20th with the first qualifying round, and ran until April 3rd. In total, 63 people took part, a record for the tournament.
