Calling all those wishing to serve as Selectors to volunteer...

Under Amanda Pakade's presidency, enormous changes have been effected to further streamline MSSA.

With the selection of any team there are always those who claim that they could have done a better job at selecting the team.

It does not matter which sport it is, it could be rugby, football, netball, hockey, and so forth, but there are always members of the community who are quite vociferous about their opinions.

Sometimes, however, such critics are right.

There is always someone out there that does know better. There is always someone who can make a great contribution.

Thus Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA), being truly aware of the talent that exists in South Africa, has opened the Selection Committee to interested persons who do not have to be Registered Players.

There is now, no reason, to be a side-line selector.

MSSA needs four individuals to be its selectors for 2021. At least two have to be Registered Players, while the other two do not have to be Registered Players.

However, the people elected as Selectors shall sign the Undertaking and keep all discussions confidential.

All Selector's shall be suitably qualified for the role, which shall include, but not be limited to: 

• previous experience as a selector, 
• previous international experience as a player or involvement with competitive gaming, 

The emphasis shall always be placed on knowledge of the level of competition required at international level.

Mind Sports South Africa thus requests all interested persons to send in their applications, together with a CV., to mindsportscorrespondence@gmail.com by 15 February 2021.

Nominate the person you want.

Cornelius Hlela (in white shirt) who served as a Selector from 1999 - 2005.

On Sunday, 14 January 2018, Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) put out a call for the nominations for people to sit on its Selection Committee, and since then, nominations have been trickling in.

The Selection Committee is without doubt one of the most important committees within MSSA.

It is the Selection Committee that is tasked with the duty of selecting the National Teams as well as approving all Provincial and Regional Teams.

Such selectors consider the teams for all disciplines albeit, board gaming, card gaming, esports, and wargames.

It is therefore imperative that the right people are appointed onto the Selection Committee in order to ensure that strong selections of teams are continued to be enacted.

However, it should be noted that people who sit on the Selection Committee  may not hold other office on MSSA, nor may they be selected for any teams themselves.

This is your chance to make a contribution, take it...
