Co:Durham 2026

< Previous |

Countdown in Durham 2026 was a co-event hosted by "Adam Freak" on 31 October 2026 as the seventeenth and final preliminary round of the 2026 FOCAL season. It was won by "Tomb Cappleman", who beat "Tom Scarey" 122 – 104 in the grand final.

The event returned to Merryoaks Community Hall, where 23 attendees played six 15-round games in the "Lincoln" format.

This was a Halloween-themed event, so all of the players were given appropriate names.
