Revision as of 10:25, 20 November 2023
The 2024 FOCAL season will be the seventh season of FOCAL tournaments.
Events
As ever, the season will kick 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 and Oxford.
The chief Lincoln event, known as COLIN, will be the nineteenth annually, bearing the title COLIN XIX accordingly. The February slot will be occupied by Liverpool, which is returning 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. Two debuting locations on the co-event circuit will be Sheffield and Oxford, to be hosted in May and June respectively.
Later tournaments in discussion for 2024 include Birmingham, Blackpool, Braintree, and London; thus far, Brighton, Leeds and Manchester will be absent this season.
