School National Federation Colours are on-the-line.

Learners locked in battle in an exciting game of Clash Royale at MSSA's 2019 SA Schools' Championships.
With the lockdown continuing due to the COVID-19 crises, Mind Sports South Africa is not able to hold its popular annual South African Schools' National Championships. When held as an event, the championships would be a LAN event which would afford all School Learners the opportunity of participating in, and winning, a national championship.

Players who win all their rounds in the titles that they have entered automatically earn themselves Junior National Federation Colours.
Another important feature of this championship, is that it is open to any learner, whether or not the school is affiliated or not.

However, for team events, it is required that all members of the team are from the same school.

MSSA, being unable to hold its 10th 
South African Schools' National Championships will thus be holding an equitable Online National Championships on 13 June 2020.

MSSA'
s 10th South African Schools' National Championships has thus not been replaced by this event, the Championship has merely been delayed until the situation permits. Thus MSSA will relook at a date for the 10th South African Schools' National Championships

Players too, will be able to play from their own homes.

MSSA's 
South African Schools' Online National Championships, will offer local players the opportunity to qualify for selection to the national squad and for the Protea Team that will attend IESF's World Championships to be held in Eilat in November 2020 should they meet the criteria.


The championship shall be held on 13 June 2020.
