Medals

The Mind Sports Olympiad awards medals to the top three finishers in every tournament!  Make sure you don’t miss the medal ceremony at the end of the tournament as the organiser will be awarding the medals to the top finishers.  We have our very own podium at the MSO, perfect for you to capture photographs of your success!

For our younger players we also have Junior medals that can be won.  A Junior is considered any player who is aged under 18 on the first day of the MSO.  To win one of these medals a player must finish amongst the top three juniors and finish within the top half of the overall standings.  Alternatively you can finish amongst the top three juniors and finish in the top half of the junior standings.
