Apterous Masters

From Countdown
Revision as of 18:39, 14 February 2010 by Nebagram (talk | contribs) (Countdown Online Masters moved to Apterous Masters over redirect: Tournament was renamed.)

Countdown Online Masters, or COMA as it is jokingly known, is a tournament organised each February/March, and is a straight knock-out event between 8-16 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. The unofficial Countdown ratings, maintained by Charlie Reams, are used to make decisions regarding who gets invited and who doesn't.

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.

2009

The 2009 tournament was again won by Paul Howe, who beat Junaid Mubeen in the final.

2010

The 2010 tournament, now renamed Apterous Masters was announced at the beginning of February of the same year.
