Changes to the proposed Calendar of Events for 2018

BOO! Surprising Media Solutions - sponsor of the 2017 Protea Esports Team.

The 2017 year is rapidly coming to an end, and there is a huge amount of 'behind the scenes' that needs to be done.

Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) only has four events left on its calendar of events for 2017, being:

8 TO 12 NOVEMBER	IeSF’s 9th World Championships - Busan	CounterStrike: GO, League of Legends, Tekken 7	Busan Port Authority Convention Center, Busan, South Korea
25 NOVEMBER	Metsimaholo Brilliant Minds Gaming Championships	Checkers, HearthStone, Marvel vs Capcom, Morabaraba, Overwatch, PES 2017, Tekken 7, Trackmania TM Turbo	Fakkel School, 20 Jan Smuts Ave., Sasolburg
2 & 3 DECEMBER	30th S A NATIONAL Championships	All	Fakkel School, 20 Jan Smuts Ave., Sasolburg
3 DECEMBER	33rd NATIONAL CONVENTION	Annual General Meeting	Fakkel School, 20 Jan Smuts Ave., Sasolburg

From all of the nominations received, MSSA is able to now publish the final proposed Calendar of Events for 2018.

The most significant change is that the Limpopo Championships moves into September away from the dreaded October period.

Such a change should make the Limpopo Championships even more popular than what it is at present.

The proposed Calendar of Events for 2018 is:
