PENTAMIND
(Prize fund £1,000)
- WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
- To compete for the Pentamind medals, participants must enter tournaments for 5 or more different games or mental skills. AT LEAST TWO OF THESE MUST HAVE 3 OR MORE PLAYING SESSIONS; ALL FIVE TOGETHER MUST HAVE 10 OR MORE PLAYING SESSIONS. You will score Pentamind points according to where you finish in each tournament according to the formula: 100(p - n)/(p- 1) where p represents the number of players in the tournament andn represents the participant's position in the tournament.
- Not more than two games will be counted from: Acquire, Age of Steam, Boku, Continuo, Diplomacy, Lost Cities, Nubble, Pacru, Puerto Rico, Settlers of Catan, Snatch and Trax.
- The participants with the highest total Pentamind scores from their 5 best tournaments for different games or mental skills will win the medals and the overall highest score wins the Pentamind championship.
- You may enter as many tournaments as you wish (excluding any invitational or pre-qualification tournaments) for a maximum entry fee of £100 (£50 for juniors, entrants over 60, unemployed entrants and entrants with disabilities). If you wish to enter for many tournaments this is by far the cheapest way to do it and it qualifies you for extra medal opportunities.
- You may not include any beginners, novice, age-restricted or graded chess tournaments in your "5 best" results.
- A Pentamind participant who enters a tournament and then withdraws fromit before playing at least half of the games will have that tournament included in his score calculations. No player may enter for tournaments which clash in the playing schedule.
- Prizes: 1st place £1,000
