Revision as of 01:44, 22 May 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, future tournaments will be taking place in Liverpool, Rugby, Reading, and Sheffield, Oxford and Durham — all debuting location on the co-event scene — Birmingham, London, Blackpool and Dublin.
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 involved players tackling in the town of Rugby — a double-header this time around, the main Rugby event was preceded by a 2-round Goatdown tournament on the Friday night. The Reading event in April (also the first since 2019) used 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. Following these will be a double-header in Birmingham at the start of August, London over the August Bank Holiday weekend, Blackpool in mid-September, and Dublin at the end of September.
Later tournaments in discussion for 2024 include Glasgow (October) and Braintree (November). The 2024 FOCAL finals will be held at the end of November, and will be returning to Milton Keynes for the third successive year. Brighton, Leeds and Manchester were 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.
