National Team Trials shall be held in the event that a National Team must be selected to represent South Africa when competing in such Period in an International Championship.

To assist in the registration process, Mind Sports South Africa’s volunteers have developed a new Championship Manger. 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.

Thing that scares me about these events are… They actually choose the right games. Only if events like rAge could follow, dammit.
