We are pleased to announce what we have arranged with regard to the detailed playing schedule for the 4th Mind Sports Olympiad.
This year we have extended the Olympiad from 9 days to 10, again 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, entrants over 60 and entrants with disabilities) for which you may enter as many events as you wish, excluding the MSO Chess Masters and any invitational or pre-qualification tournaments, provided the schedules do not conflict.
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.
