The Gauteng Province has the most qualifiers. The University of Johannesburg has the most qualifiers in such province. However, it should be noted that many of the players have qualified more than once!

 

As a ‘last chance’, players shall also be able to qualify at the 2008 North West Championships to be held on 24 February 2008, at Potchefstroom High School.

 

The Trials shall therefore be held in the Gauteng Province at the Old Edwardian Society, 11 Ninth Avenue, Lower Houghton, Johannesburg on 16 March 2008.

Anyone who qualifies for the Trials may play. All players will be given an one week 'cooling-off' period after the trials in which time such players must indicate whether they wish to be eligible for selection.

NOTES:

Please note that all players who enter trials must have the following:

1. The standard form together with the entry fee of R153.00 for senior players the duly completed questionnaire is submitted by 8 March 2008. Please note that should you be selected to represent South Africa, it will be the army list, as submitted by you that shall be entered into all international championships.
   
   
2. You have submitted a photocopy of the front four pages of your South African passport, and a photocopy of the front two pages of your South African identity document. Should any of these documents be outstanding at the date of trials, you will automatically be disqualified from being selected.
   
   
3. You are a South African citizen.
   
   
4. You are currently registered to the INTERNATIONAL WARGAMES FEDERATION.
   
   
5. You have submitted your essay on how and why you organise army command structure the way you do, the terrain that you prefer for your army, how you try to get the terrain that you want, how you protect your army's flanks, and at least three technical tips. (This only applies to figure gamers).
   
   
6. A receipt confirming that you have deposited your entry fee into the MSSA's bank account with ABSA. The account number is: 90 4766 7676.
   
   
7. Team members will be expected to travel together as a team.
   
   
8. Please note that should you be selected for the team, you shall be barred from participation in any sporting event, other than a MSSA event, between the date of selection and the date of the event for which you have been chosen.

This includes occasional games of touch rugby etc. This rule was introduced in 1993 as a response to one of our players injuring himself, which not only affected his own games, but also adversely affected the result of the team as a whole.

k.   Players that enter must be aware of their obligations in terms of participating in local events as well as in terms of umpiring as failure to do so may result in such player not being selected in the following year.

Should you be selected, you should note that the MSSA cannot guarantee that it will be able to assist players financially.
