| MSSA's BF2142 team that went to Taiwan in 2006. |
Many will know that Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) sent its first team across in 1991 to the World Wargames Championships. MSSA (then known as the South African Wargames Union) too took part in the meeting at Vanderbijlpark (as featured in the film Invictus) which decided the fate of the Springbok emblem. Thus in 1994, MSSA moved away from the Springbok logo and adopted the Protea.
It seems that in every year that MSSA reaches new heights an creates new milestones on its journey.
2016 was no different, and MSSA certainly created some impressive milestones, the most important being:
* Thomas Brown became SA's first accredited international referee.
* Thomas Brown became SA's first accredited international referee.
* Thomas Brown refereed the World Cyber Arena finals in Beijing.
* Jason Batzofin was elected on to IeSF's Athletes' Commission.
* Colin Webster was re-elected on to IeSF's Management Board.
* Morizane Boyes became the first female President of MSSA.
* MSSA held its 30th National Championships on 3 & 4 December 2016.
* Rules were amended to allow MSSA to be the only SA sport federation with true gender equity.
However, none of it would have been possible without the participation of each and every level. All members made a contribution to help MSSA grow and survive.
Thank you, one and all.
