The '''2023 FOCAL finals''', also known as '''Countdown in Milton Keynes 2023''', is an upcoming [[co-event]], organised by [[FOCAL]] chairman [[Callum Todd]] and to be hosted by [[Adam Beach]], on 25 November 2023. It will run concurrently with the [[Co:MK Open 2023|Milton Keynes Open]]: a tournament for those attendees who didn't qualify as one of the top eight finalists.

It will be held at the Novotel in Milton Keynes for the second consecutive year, where the finalists will undergo a round-robin of seven [[9 round format|9-round games]] in the Bristol format. Following these, the top two will play against each other in the championship grand final to determine the winner of the season.

This event will debut a useful, purpose-built presentation software developed by [[Series 80]] [[octochamp]] [[Fiona Titcombe]], intended to be used at all future Bristol-style events.
