We are pleased to announce the detailed playing schedule and prize fund for the 3rd Mind Sports Olympiad. Note that the start of the afternoon playing session will be 3:30pm (15:30), half an hour earlier than in previous years.

All prizes and entry fees are in pounds sterling (£). Note that the first entry fee given is for adults and the second (in brackets) is for juniors (under 18 on August 21st).

This year we have extended the Olympiad from 7 days to 9, significantly increasing the number of tournaments on offer. For those who wish to take part in several tournaments we have a special entry fee of £75 (£30 for juniors) for which you may enter as many events as you wish (excluding the MSO Masters Chess Championship), so long as they do not clash in the playing schedule. For example, you could enter 11 Chess tournaments for a total of £75!!

In addition to the cash prizes, which this year total £100,000, Gold, Silver and Bronze medals are awarded to the leading players in every tournament and to the leading juniors (who are under 18 years of age on August 21st). We also expect there to be additional prizes in kind, as in previous years. Full details of these will be announced nearer the time.

Almost all of the tournaments at the Mind Sports Olympiad are run on the Swiss system. This means that you do not get knocked out of a tournament if you lose a game - you continue to play against opponents who have approximately the same score as yourself and you continue to play every round no matter what your score may be.

An entry form is available on this web site. Printed entry forms may be obtained by sending a large self-addressed envelope to:

Mind Sports Olympiad,

PENTAMIND WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
(Prize fund £1,000)

To compete for the Pentamind medals and prize participants must enter tournaments for 5 or more different games or mental skills. AT LEAST ONE 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 and n represents the participant's position in the tournament.

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 prize of £1,000 plus a prize in kind.

You may enter as many tournaments as you wish (excluding the MSO Masters Chess tournament) for a maximum entry fee of £75 (juniors £30). 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 include only one beginners tournament or Mini-Bridge in your "5 best" results. 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. No player may enter for tournaments which clash in the playing schedule.
