To assist in the registration process, Mind Sports South Africa's volunteers have developed a new Championship Manager. The system provides the following functionality:

  1. Users can create an account to protect their confidential personal details
  2. Each User can register one or more Players with MSSA (This is useful for those Team Managers/Captains who wish to register all the Players in their Team). Player registration must be completed annually and enables those players to be allowed to compete in MSSA Championships - such Players are referred to as Registered Players.
  3. Each User can enter a Registered Player or a Team of Registered Players into a specific Championship.
