2024 FOCAL finals
- See also: Co:MK Open 2024
The 2024 FOCAL finals, also known as Countdown in Milton Keynes 2024, was a co-event, organised by FOCAL chairman Darren Godfrey and hosted by Adam Beach, on 30 November 2024 as the closing event of the 2024 FOCAL season. It ran concurrently with the Milton Keynes Open: a tournament for those attendees who didn't qualify as one of the top eight finalists. It was won by Jack Hurst, who beat Jonathan De Souza 100 – 47 in the championship grand final.
For the third consecutive year, it took place at the Novotel in Milton Keynes, where the finalists underwent a round-robin of seven 9-round games in the "Bristol" format.
