The Seventh Mind Sports Olympiad
took place between 16-25 August 2003 in Manchester.
The total prize fund was over £20,000 cash
($31,000 or €28,000) plus prizes in kind.
We are delighted to announce that the annual Mind Sports Olympiad is moving to a new permanent home in Manchester.
The 7th Mind Sports Olympiad will take place from Saturday August 16th to Monday August 25th inclusive in the Renold Building at Manchester Conference Centre. By reverting to the 10-day format we will be able once again to offer more than 100 tournaments encompassing more than 40 Mind Sports, and this year there are cash prizes as well as medals to be won.
The permanent move has been made possible through generous sponsorship provided by our hosts, UMIST (University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology), and by the support of the City of Manchester. Dates have also been agreed for the following four years, with the event starting each year on the corresponding Saturday and ending on the bank holiday Monday (the last Monday in August).
