2020 Calendar of Events

The only way to officially represent South Africa in Board Games, Esports, or Wargames is to participate in MSSA events.

The call went out on 9 August 2019  for every member club to have its say apropos MSSA's 2020 Calendar of Events.

On the whole there was very positive feedback with only a few changes suggested.

The following calendar of events will be presented to the Annual General Meeting for final ratification, at which AGM  the Calendar  of Event shall become final.

Member clubs are also able to 'book' the hosting of Regional Championships. Regional championships are designed to help clubs gain extra exposure, earn income, and promote the games that they encourage within their clubs. Games can only be played at National and Provincial Championships if such are either played at World championship level, or if having first been tested at Regional Championships. The rules apropos hosting of a Regional Championship may be found here.
