2008 World Championship Bulletins & Results
2008 WMSG Daily Bulletins
Each day the WBF will publish a Daily Bulletin, available in PDF format and also as a web page (the "internet" bulletin is somewhat different from the printed one you get by downloading the PDF). To make it easier for you to find the Daily Bulletins, we've linked to the internet and PDF versions here. The PDF version comes in two separate sections - one for the Youth Games and one for the WMSG (World Mind Sports Games) . The links will take you to blank pages until the bulletins are published. You can also access the bulletins by going to the WBF Bulletin page and clicking on the link there.
