The company in liquidation is actually called: "Mind Sports Organisation Worldwide Limited" It shares some initials with "Mind Sports Olympiad" but perhaps should not be confused with it. As far as I am aware from available documentation there is also a "Mind Sports Olympiad Limited", and one of the associated directors has told me there is also a "4th Mind Sports Olympiad Limited". The latter item can be checked by a search at Companies House, London, who would be able to confirm whether or not it actually exists. I would presume that the key factor in being able to organise a "Mind Sports Olympiad" is ownership of the Intellectual Property Rights giving the right to use the names "Mind Sports Olympiad" and "MSO" or any derivative or representation thereof.
