[Tony Atkins]

CO MSO is on again this year as part of the Mind Sports Olympiad (see https://mindsportsolympiad.com) at JW3, 341-351 Finchley Road, London NW3 6ET on Sunday 24th August from 10:00 to 18:00. Note this is at a modern Jewish Community Centre and that food and dangerous items may not be brought on site.

The event is 5 round swiss, followed by a final and 3rd place play-off, using the Bristol System where the same letters/numbers are used across each match-up in a round. Apterous dictionary to be used. This is based on the Oxford dictionary which is currently used in the show. Medals will be awarded to the top three as usual.

Registration to MSO is open https://mindsportsolympiad.com/product/countdown/ Entry is £20 like last year.
