PENTAMIND
(Prize fund TBA)
- WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
- [A] To compete for the Pentamind medals, participants must enter tournaments for 5 or more different games or mental skills;
- [B] At least two of these tournaments must each have playing times scheduled to last for 10.5 hours or longer.
- [C] All five qualifying tournaments together must have total playing times scheduled to last for 35 hours or longer.
- [D] 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 and n represents the participant's position in the tournament.
- [E] Not more than two games will be counted from the six Hobby Games Festival competitions: Acquire, Age of Steam, Carcassonne, Lost Cities, Puerto Rico and Settlers of Catan.
- [F] 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.
- [G] 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.
- [H] You may not include any beginners, novice, age-restricted or graded chess tournaments in your "5 best" results. The Rubber Bridge charity tournament for Marie Curie Cancer Care on Sunday 5th September may not be included.
- [I] A Pentamind participant who enters a tournament and then withdraws from it before playing at least half of the games will have that tournament included in his score calculations.
- [J] No player may enter for tournaments which clash in the playing schedule without the permission of the Chief Arbiter, Event Manager or Chief Organiser.
The following list has details of the amount of Pentamind credit on offer for each event.
Remember that you can only have one tournament counted for each game or mental skill, as
delineated by the separate bullet lists.
Tournaments counting for at least 10.5 hours credit
are highlighted in blue; you must include at least
two of those.
Tournaments included in the Hobby Games Festival are indicated in
green; you can include at most two of those.
