Countdown in Rugby is a Countdown tournament held in the town of Rugby in the West Midlands. It debuted on the co-event circuit in 2023 as the first "Lincoln"-style event to incorporate four rounds instead of the conventional three, resulting in everyone playing eight games rather than six. There have been sevents events to date, all of which have been fronted by MSR and held at the Rugby West Indian Association Social Club.
