9th Mind Sports Olympiad Accommodation
|
 |
|
| |
The ninth Mind Sports Olympiad is taking place
at the Manchester Conference Centre.
This year we are adopting the successful event model of the British Historical Games Society, whose "Britcon" event now forms part of the MSO. The concept is to combine the tournament entry and accommodation booking processes, making your life and ours easier. This concept encourages more participants to stay in the inexpensive accommodation made available by the University of Manchester, thereby creating more of a convention atmosphere during the event. This accommodation is within 1-2 minutes walk of all the playing rooms.
We are strongly encouraging participants at MSO 9 to book an "entry and accommodation" package that includes accommodation at the University of Manchester, on the playing site. This arrangement guarantees to all participants the benefits of very economical living accommodation. By making the event largely residential we hope to increase the social aspects of the MSO. The most economical accommodation is in single rooms at the student residence halls. There is also 3-star hotel accommodation available on site, but space in the hotel is limited so book early if you prefer the hotel option.
Participants may opt out of the "entry and accommodation" package if they wish, and pay only the "Non-resident competitors" rate. This still allows participation in as many tournaments as you wish on any of the days for which you are registered, morning, afternoon and evening.
Your charges for MSO 9, excluding Bridge and MSOCON entries, depend on how many days you play during the event.
Entry and Accommodation packages
The basic principle for these packages is that, if you play on a certain number of days during the Mind Sports Olympiad, then you will be staying for the same number of nights in the University of Manchester accommodation. Extra nights are bookable at the special "Extra Nights" rate.
NOTE THAT all prices include entry fees. For 6, 7, 8 or 9 day participation, add 20% of the 5-day fee for each day over 5, plus the 5-day fee itself.
The CONCESSION DISCOUNT for juniors (under 19) and for students (ISIC cards required) is £8 per day, to be deducted from the prices shown below.
