MSSA advises of its affiliation and registration fees for the 2024/2025 season.

It is through compliance to paying fees that MSSA is able to continually send teams overseas. From left to right in the photograph: Johan van Breda, Mikara Nokraj, IESF President - HRH Prince Faisal bin Bandar bin Sultan Al Saud, and Colin Webster - MSSA President)

Mind Sports South Africa's Management Board increases all MSSA registration and affiliation fees by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) every year.

Thus registration and affiliation fees for the 2024/2025 season shall increase by the CPI (all sectors) of 5.1%, and as per MSSA's Constitution, all such fees are due and payable on the 1st of November of each year.

Please note that if your club has an SLA for an event after the year-end (31 October 2024), such club must pay its affiliation fees and pay its registration fees for all its committee members by no later than 7 November 2024. Should such club fail to do so, such SLA shall be vitiated.

In order for any player to stand for any office, all such person's fees must be paid at the same time that such person is nominated.

Current Board Members are required to have their club membership fees and their own registration fees paid by 7 November 2024 - failing which, such Board Members are immediately suspended until such fees are paid.

Please note that other members that do not remit payment by 1 February 2025 shall have their affiliation terminated and their members shall not be allowed to participate in Mind Sport South Africa's events or team selection.

Members may only participate in a MSSA meeting if such member is fully-paid-up at the time of such meeting.

The fees for the 2024/2025 gaming year (1 November 2024 to 31 October 2025) are:

Affiliation fees per club per annumR132.42 per annum
Registration fees:Registered with MSSA R140.83 per player
Players who are members of school clubsR11.56 per player

Please note that Registration Fees may be waived by the Management Board should a player have reached the age of majority and is unemployed, or if the player is a minor and his/her parents are unemployed.

Please note that the voting strength that any member has at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in December is based on the paid-up membership of such member at the date of the AGM.

The members of Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA), the largest membership based organisation for gaming in South Africa shall. at its Annual General Meeting (AGM), decide upon its Calendar of Events for 2025.

With MSSA being a member based organisation, it is the member clubs that ultimately make the decisions on all the affairs of MSSA.

The Calendar is no less busy than in previous years.

It is important for all gamers to note that in order to be selected for an official South African team, such aspirant athlete must be a member of a club that is in good standing.

With the proposed Calendar of Events being published at this time, every athlete is afforded the opportunity of being able to affiliate to a member club in time to participate in MSSA events in order to participate in the selection process. 

Because MSSA will always put the well-being of all its members first, MSSA requests every member club to comment on the proposed Calendar of Events so that all members can be accommodated.

The proposed Calendar of Events, as usual, will be presented to the membership at MSSA's Annual General Meeting (AGM) for ratification.

The proposed calendar, being as follows:
