Revision as of 01:46, 14 March 2024
The 2024 FOCAL season is seventh and current season of FOCAL tournaments. It is the first season under the chairmanship of Darren Godfrey, who took over the role from Callum Todd at the end of 2023.
Events
As ever, the season kicked off with the Lincoln double-header on the last weekend of January. Among others yet to be confirmed, tournaments will be taking place in Liverpool, Rugby, Reading, and — for the first time — Sheffield, Oxford and Durham.
The chief Lincoln event, known as COLIN, was the nineteenth annually, bearing the title COLIN XIX accordingly. The February slot was occupied by Liverpool, which returned after a five-year absence. For the second year running, March will involve players tackling in the town of Rugby — a double-header this time around, the main Rugby event will be preceded by a 2-round Goatdown tournament on the Friday night. The Reading event (also the first since 2019) in April will use a useful, purpose-built software designed by Series 80 octochamp and quarter-finalist Fiona Titcombe. Three debuting locations on the co-event circuit will be Sheffield, Oxford, and Durham to be hosted in May, June, and July respectively.
Later tournaments in discussion for 2024 include Birmingham, Blackpool, Braintree, and London; thus far, Brighton, Leeds and Manchester will be absent this season.

Leaderboards
Since the 2020–22 FOCAL season, the number of FOCAL points has been determined by the formula (1 − [position] ÷ ([players] + 1)) × 1000
. Points from both wins and losses count towards each player's final event score. If two or more players finish in the same position on the leaderboard, they are sorted by most conundrum solves, then by highest individual game score, before their FOCAL points are calculated.
Once all of the season's preliminary rounds have been played, the top eight contenders will qualify for the end-of-season finals. Should any of the top eight not attend the finals event, the next highest-ranked person in attendance will take their place.
Each player's overall FOCAL points total will be the sum of their best eight performances only; all others are discounted.
