We are pleased to announce the results from the 8th Mind Sports Olympiad, which took place in the Manchester Conference Centre at UMIST, between Thursday 19th August 2004 and Monday 30th August 2004.
DECAMENTATHLON
(Prize fund TBA)
- WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
- EXTENDED! Monday 30, 9:30am-2pm

- Pentamind: 4.5 hours
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.
TRIGAMES
(Prize funds TBA)
- A player's Trigames score is the total of his rankings in all three tournaments.
- Each of these four events incorporates three tournaments in one.
- (Ties are counted as the average of the rankings involved in the tie, for example if you tie with one other player for 1st and 2nd places both of you score 1.5 for that tournament.)
- The players with the lowest total ranking scores win the medals.
- All tournaments except Backgammon will be played with clocks - each player is allowed 10 minutes for all their moves.
