    2008 World Mind Sport Games

    Beijing - China : 3 - 18 October 2008

    Beijing 2008 will be the venue for the first World Mind Sports Games (WMSG). These games will be held under the aegis of IMSA (the International Mind Sports Association) and will consist of Bridge, Chess, Go and Draughts (and also Chinese Chess in Beijing)

    The Games will be held in a major Convention Centre, and may also utilize space within the Olympic Complex.

    The Opening Ceremony will be held on Friday 3rd October (probably in the early evening) and the Closing Ceremony will be on Saturday 18th October.

    The events held in the World Bridge Games will be the:
    Bullet imaga National Open Teams
    Bullet imaga National Women’s Teams
    Bullet imaga National Youth Teams, Pairs & Individual

    There will also be two other Championships:

    these will not be included in the medal roll of the World Mind Sports Games, although medals will be awarded by the WBF as normal

    Bullet imaga Seniors International Cup
    Bullet imaga

    World Transnational Mixed Teams.

    In addition the World Junior Team Championships will be staged comprising:

    Bullet imaga The World Junior Championship for the Ortiz-Patiño Trophy (under 26)
    Bullet imaga The World Junior Championship for the Damiani Cup (under 21)
    As teams are knocked out of these two events, they may join play in the Youth Teams and as teams are eliminated from the Youth Teams, they will be eligible to join the World Youth Pairs, then the Individual. Details are still being worked on.


    At the World Mind Sports Games, all youth and women’s competitors will be offered free room and board in the media village apartments to encourage participation, as will some Open teams provided that their NBO sends at least one Youth Pair to compete in the WMSG in Beijing.
