Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA), being the largest membership based gaming organisation in South Africa, delivers much to its members, being:
- MSSA has the largest footprint in South Africa,
- MSSA has its own 24/7 channel on TULUNTULU on which any member club may post content,
- MSSA holds a number of school championships,
- MSSA holds more championships than any other organisation in South Africa,
- MSSA has an open system of government that allows any member to rise to positions of office,
- MSSA has sent more teams overseas than any other organisation,
- MSSA is the only body that may award Regional, Provincial, National, and Protea Colours for gaming,
- MSSA is the only body that may select official teams to represent South Africa,
- MSSA is the only body in South Africa that may affiliate to CAeS, and IeSF, and
- MSSA is in the vanguard of actively developing gaming in South Africa.
With all of the above, you would expect the fees charged to be quite large.
On the contrary, MSSA has always adopted a position of keeping its fees as low as possible in order to stimulate growth and to remain a 'people's organisation'.

why does your logo look like it was designed by a 50 year old
ReplyDeleteThe State Herald designed the logo specifically for the MSSA that best represented all the games as administered by the MSSA. The State Herald Frederick Brownell designed the Janus Knight for the MSSA.
ReplyDeleteYou may be interested to note that Mr Fred Brownell also designed the current Namibian and South African national flags.
The logo is made up of the following aspects:
The double-headed knight chess piece: The knight chess piece is already an international symbol for army battle school. The symbol represents tactical and strategic thought and training. By making the symbol a double-headed knight, it also incorporates the concepts of considering the opponent's moves and shows the mental versatility of gamers.
The circle: The circle represents the rules to which all the games are played, and the unity of all the games that the MSSA represents.
