Revised MSSA 2020 Calendar of Events.

Under lockdown, LAN events have been deferred to later dates, with online events becoming more prevalent.

Even though it has been announced that South Africa will go to level 3 lockdown, due to COVID-19, on 1 June 2020, sporting evens are still prohibited, but funerals aren't - go figure!

Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) has thus revised its Calendar of events to ensure that all Registered Players are still afforded the opportunity to qualify for National Team Trials and National Team Selection.

The new online events do not replace the existing LAN events, as the LAN events may still be held should conditions permit.

The revised Calender of Events is as follows:
