Co:MK Open 2025
From Countdown
- See also: 2025 FOCAL finals
The Co:MK Open 2025 was a co-event, organised and hosted by FOCAL chairman George Armstrong with Adam Beach, as the closing event of the 2025 FOCAL season. It ran concurrently with the 2025 FOCAL finals as an open-style event for those attendees who didn't qualify as one of the top eight finalists. Both of these events formed Countdown in Milton Keynes 2025. It was won by Rob Foster, who finished at the top of the leaderboard at the conclusion of the heat games.
For the fourth consecutive year, the event returned to the Novotel in Milton Keynes, where 36 out of 37* attendees played seven 9-round games in the "Bristol" format. There was no grand final for this particular tournament, as the championship grand final between the top two in the finals event took its place.
*Rowland Reeves was meant to play at the event but didn't turn up. With the Round 1 draw having already been carried out, he was "Pruned" for it before being removed from the list of players.
