We are pleased to announce what we have arranged with regard to the detailed playing schedule for the London half of the 5th Mind Sports Olympiad.
All prizes and entry fees are in pounds sterling (£) per player. Note that the full first entry fee given is for adults and the concessionary second entry fee (in brackets) is for junior entrants (under 16 on August 18th), entrants over 60, unemployed entrants and entrants with disabilities. A late entry penalty fee of £5 will be applied to entries postmarked after 11th August.
The London half of the fifth Mind Sports Olympiad is 10 days long, like last year's event. For those who wish to take part in several tournaments we will have a special entry fee of £80 (£40 for juniors, entrants over 60, unemployed entrants and entrants with disabilities) for which you may enter as many events as you wish, excluding the Ron Banwell 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.
An entry form is now available online on this web site. Alternatively, printed entry forms may be obtained by sending a large self-addressed envelope to:
