PENTAMIND

  • WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
  • To compete for the Pentamind medals, 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 championship.
  • You may not include any beginners, novice or age-restricted tournaments 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.
