carried over from one game to the next. Troops that rout off table count as
lost. The championship is only played to four rounds. Other MSSA
competition rules apply.
Standard
MSSA rules apply for both Draughts and Morabaraba.
The
Championship is open to all players, even if they are not registered to MIND SPORTS SOUTH AFRICA.
Entry fees:
Figure-gamers - R36.00
Board-gamers - R18.00

entries must be submitted to Matthew Strachan at roburthebold@gmail.com on or
