Mind Sports Olympiad (CO-MSO) comes to Apterous Friday 21st August
The annual game-playing festival, the Mind Sports Olympiad,
is being held online on various platforms during the month of August 2020
instead of being played face-to-face in London.
I am hosting the Countdown event (CO-MSO) on Apterous (apterous.org) during the evening of Friday 21st August from 19:30 BST.
The tournament will be held over five rounds with normal head-to-head games, unlike the physical version where all players play the same selection of letters and numbers.
Everybody entered plays all five rounds on the Swiss system (winners play winners). After the five rounds the top four players will have play-off games for the medals: fourth placed against third place for bronze, followed by second place against first place for silver and gold. The selection for these will be number of wins, followed by points scored.
Entry is free, but must be made at https://msoworld.com/product/countdown/

If you are an expired apterous user or want to play anonymously, then create yourself a new (trial) user (for free) using a second email address. You will need to declare your pseudonym on registration under your real name and your real name will not be revealed until after the event is complete.

Creating a second account to exploit the free trial games when you've already had them on another account is a bit scummy on a small community site like apterous.Tony Atkins wrote: ↑Wed Aug 05, 2020 6:41 pm If you are an expired apterous user or want to play anonymously, then create yourself a new (trial) user (for free) using a second email address.

If you're an expired apterous user then either renew your subscription or accept you can't play.

Please don't do this, it's very clearly against the terms of service.Tony Atkins wrote: ↑Wed Aug 05, 2020 6:41 pm If you are an expired apterous user or want to play anonymously, then create yourself a new (trial) user (for free) using a second email address.

Thanks for organising this Tony - was a challenging evening with aptocrashes and players dropping out, so good job in keeping it going and getting us all through it. Was good fun, and great to see so many new players, some of who were frighteningly good! Hopefully some will hang around
