With the huge interest shown by schools in the NWU MSSA Online School League to be played from the week ending Friday, 19 July 2019, Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) has extended the closing date from 1 July 2019 to Monday, 15 July 2019 in order to accommodate as many schools as possible.
The revised entry date means that the pairings shall only be loaded on Tuesday, 16 July 2019, and while it means that the first week will be shorter than normal, MSSA is convinced that the greater good is being served by extending such entry date.
