The process has begun to select the national squad for Checkers.

Xolisani Pram (Masters of Mind Sports) was the victor at MSSA's 2019 Mpumalanga Championships.

"The time has come," the Walrus said, "To talk of many things: Of shoes—and ships—and sealing-wax— Of cabbages—and kings" (The Walrus and the Carpenter by Lewis Carroll).

Yes, once again it is time for Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) to select its national squads.

The squads too provide a pool of players from which the National Protea Teams that will represent South Africa in its various disciplines shall be drawn.

The system of selecting squads is a useful method for enforcing training as well as a player wish continually monitoring performance of those individuals who are so selected.

It is therefore vitally important that all athletes who have qualified, check the lists to ensure that there are no misstatements or omissions.

Should an athlete wish to make him/herself eligible for selection, then such athlete must write to mindsportscorrespondence@gmail.com for all the necessary forms.
