The Indian National Open

Memory Championship - 2019

Why Memory as a sport?

Our ability to remember is being eroded day by day. This is especially significant and dangerous as Memory is at the heart of everything we do - all communication, all creativity, all physical movement and all thinking - indeed at the very heart of our existence.

Hence, there is a need to train and practice memory as a sport, as a hobby so that we remain active throughout our life.

Why Memory Championships?

1. To promote Memory as a new Mind Sport, and in so doing to expand opportunities for mental athletes and Warriors of the Mind in India.

2. To redefine the art and the science of Memory by establishing new norms, benchmarks and records, and to provide certification and ranking for these norms.

3. To reintroduce Memory as a fundamental skill for early childhood education, thereby reinvigorating faith in, and enjoyment of Memory.

4. To reverse the global misconception that Memory deteriorates with age and demonstrate, by example, that it will continually get better.

5. To demonstrate that Memory is the basis of creativity.

6. To recover, validate and preserve for future generations the mnemonic systems of earlier human cultures and to revive the traditions of oral Memory.

7. To create a global community of like-minded individuals fascinated by exploring the power and potential of Memory and the human mind.

8. It is also designed to shed light on the need for unleashing that extraordinary, largely untapped, and crucial resource for the future benefit of humanity: the Power of the Human Brain.

2019 Championship :Memory is a skill and it can be learnt. Like any other skill that can be mastered, Memory can be improved at any time in life. A critical component of the brain's functioning; memory has always assumed significance in ones' day-to-day life.

Unlike physical sport, the mind sport is totally neglected in India. To spread this mind awareness and to contribute significantly to the intellectual empowerment and to showcase India’s brain power to the World, the National Memory Council of India is organising Memory Championships every year. The National Memory Championship is a contest that tests the memory of all participants in various dimensions. Participants from India and abroad are eligible to take part in the Championship. This contest is conducted once in a year, and this year - 2019, the 10th Indian National Open Memory Championship is going to take place on 12th and 13th October, 2019, Saturday & Sunday at SJC Institute of Technology, Chickballapur, Bengaluru (India).

Memory Maestro and Multiple Guinness World Record Holder, Squadron Leader Jayasimha is the President World Memory Sports Council for India. His main aim is to develop India through mentally healthy people. The mental health depends on how much we train and exercise our brains. Hence, exercising our mental muscle from an early age would definitely enhance creativity, memory power and enhance maximum brain usage.



26

National Memory Council of India: Development from various dimensions is what enables the progress of a society. Building a better future generation is what is needed to reinforce step into a new zone of development. On those lines, Squadron Leader Jayasimha has taken an initiative to form a National Memory Council whose objective is to contribute to the mind development of the younger generation. Already well-established as a trainer, Jayasimha, the multiple Guinness World Record holder, conducts public workshops on creative memory, art of parenting, motivation, leadership and self-improvement. With the National Memory Council, the vision is to reach out to a wider section of the society to create awareness and to communicate the need and significance of mind development.

India is the latest addition to the list of affiliate countries under World Memory Sports Council. And hence the council is young. The council is recognized and licensed by the World Memory Sports Council to now authenticate and publish the National Rankings in the Sport. NMCI is now an independent body governing the mind sport of memory in India. It now regulates competitions throughout India and also provides training to anybody willing to take part in the competition. The body also assumes the responsibility of letting the sport permeate through the system, and to make this a brand vehicle to communicate to the world, the power of an Indian mind.

1. After the recall phase, the question and answer papers will be put beside each other on the table, then the answers are compared.

2. The arbiter will compare each card from the memorised paper with each answer of the recall pack. At the first discrepancy between the two sheets, only the cards up to this point will be counted.

3. The contestant, who memorises all 52 cards in the correct sequence, wins the event.

Memorisation

1. Computer-generated numbers are presented in rows of 40 digits with up to 25 rows per page.

Recall

1. Competitors should use the Recall Papers provided.

2. If a competitor wishes to use his/her own Recall Papers, these must be approved by the adjudicator before the competition. Competitors must write their recalled numbers in rows of 40 digits.

3. It must be clear how the rows presented on the Recall Paper relate to the rows on the Memorising Paper (missing rows must be clearly indicated).

Scoring


2. For every complete row of 40 that has a single mistake in it (this includes a missing digit), 20 points are awarded for that row.

3. For every complete row of 40 that has two or more mistakes (including missing digits), 0 points are awarded for that row.

4. There is no penalty for missing rows.

5. For the last row only. If the last row is incomplete (e.g. only the first 29 numbers have been written down) and all of the digits are correct, then the points awarded will equal the number of digits recalled (29 in this example).

6. If the last row is incomplete and there is a single mistake (this includes a missing digit), then the points awarded will equal half the number of digits recalled.

7. For an odd number of digits, the fraction is rounded up e.g. if 29 and there is one mistake, the score is divided by 2, 29/2, = 14.5 and rounded up to 15.

8. For two or more mistakes in the last row (including missing digits), 0 points are awarded for that row.

9. The winner of the discipline is the competitor with the highest score (the best score from the two attempts is put forward).



49

10. In the case of tied winning scores, the winner will be the competitor who has a better second trial. If the competitors are also equal in this second trial the adjudicator will look at the extra lines of the best trial of each competitor (The lines the competitor tried to recall but for which he/she got 0 points). For every correctly positioned number, 1 decision point will be given. The competitor with the most decision points is the winner.

Sample Recall Sheet. Extra rows are provided in case competitors make errors and wish to

rewrite a row of digits.

Event 7 Abstract Images*

Aim To commit to memory and recall abstract images



Question Paper

1. Computer generated images are presented in rows of 5 images with 10 rows on the page.

2. 150 images (5 sheets) are presented.

3. Sheets are printed not photocopied to ensure integrity of shading.

4. IMPORTANT – No covering, writing or measuring devices (pens, rulers, paper etc) may be on desks or used during memorization.

(Note images within a row are mixed but rows remain in the same order).

2. Under each image is a box in which the contestants inserts the number position in the original sequence. (Reading left to right)

3. Contestants do not have to attempt all the rows and can do so in any order. (i.e. rows are marked individually).

Scoring

1. 5 points awarded per correct row.

2. 1 point deducted if there is one or more errors of omissions in a row. (N.B. this is minus 1 per row with errors, not per error)

3. Partially completed rows will count as mistakes.

4. The winner of the event is the contestant with the highest number of points.

Event 8 Historic / Future Dates

AimTo commit to memory and recall as many fictional numerical historic/ future dates as possible and link them to the right historic event.



Question Paper

1. 100 different historic dates with 40 dates on a page will be given.

2. The historic dates lie between the years 1000 and 2099.

3. All historic dates are fictitious or general (e.g. Peace Treaty signed).

4. The length of the event text is between 1 and 5 words.

5. Statistically the whole range of years will be used and no year (and no event) will be presented twice.

6. The 4 digit numbers of the historic years are on the left side of the event and the events are written down under each other.

1. 1. Contestants will be given 2 sheets of paper with 55 historic event texts written on each.

2. The historic event texts are in a different order from that of the memorising phase.

3. Contestants must now write down the correct year in front of the event texts.

Answer Paper



51

Scoring

1. A point is awarded for every correctly assigned year. All 4 digits of the year written down must be correct.

2. No point is given for a correct year which was not assigned to the corresponding event.

3. A half a point is deducted for every incorrect year assigned.

4. Only one year can be written down in front of the event.

5. The points are added up (max. 110 points) and the contestant with the highest score wins.

Event 9 Spoken Numbers

Aim To commit to memory and recall as many Spoken Numbers as possible.

Time to Memorise 100 Seconds


Question Paper

1. A recording is played that has a clear voice reading out decimal digits in English (1,5,4,8 etc) or the Adjudicator will read out the decimal digits in a clear voice.

2. 1 - 100 digits are spoken at a rate of one digit per second.

3. No writing is allowed during the playing of the recording.

4. When a contestant has reached their limit that they can memorise, they must stay in their seats, be quiet and sit still for the remainder of the time.

5. If for some reason the attempt has to be paused due to an external distraction, the attempt will be continued from 5 numbers before the interruption.

1. Contestants must write their recalled numbers in consecutive order from the start of the spoken sequence.

2. Contestants may use blank paper, the answer sheets provided or their own (as long as it has been cleared by the adjudicator before recall commences).

Answer Paper

1. One point is awarded for every correct consecutive digit that the contestant writes down from the first digit of the spoken sequence.

2. As soon as the contestant makes their first mistake, that is where the marking stops.

Scoring



52

3. For example if a contestant recalls 97 digits but makes a mistake at the 43rd digit then the score will be 42. If a contestant recalled 99 digits but made a mistake on the first digit the score would be 0.

4. The winner of the event is the contestant with the highest score.

Discipline 10. Speed Cards

Aim

To commit to memory and recall a single pack (deck) of 52 playing cards in the shortest possible time.

There are two attempts at this discipline with a ‘fresh’ deck provided at each trial.

Time National

(Speed)

To memorise 5 minutes

To recall 5 minutes

Memorisation

1. A freshly shuffled pack (deck) of 52 playing cards. The competitor must provide his/her own cards; these must be shuffled by the adjudicator before the competition.

2. Competitors who expect to memorise the complete pack (deck) of cards in less than 5 minutes:

a. Must inform the adjudicator so that a timekeeper with a stopwatch (capable of measuring 1/100 of a second) can be assigned and

b. Must agree with their invigilator an appropriate signal that indicates they have finished memorising.

c. Alternatively, a Speed Stacks timer may be used under supervision of an Arbiter/invigilator.

d. All mobile phones, iPads or similar mobile devices are banned from the competition room during this discipline.



53

3. Competitors may start memorisation at any point during 5 minute memorisation period.

4. The cards can be looked at repeatedly and more than one card can be looked at simultaneously.

5. The deck of cards must be in clear sight at all times - wrists must be kept at desk level wherever possible.

6. Competitors must not begin recalling their pack until the adjudicator has announced that the 5 minute recall period has commenced.

Recall

1. After the memorising phase, each competitor gets a second pack of cards which is in perfect order (i.e. 2 Hearts, 3 Hearts, 4 Hearts, etc. and 0 Earth, 1 Earth, 2 Earth for Arabian Memory Cards). The competitor has to order this second deck of cards in the same sequence as the pack just memorised.

2. The packs will be clearly identified as the first or second (recall) pack.

3. After the recall phase, both decks will be put beside each other on the table, the top card being the first one memorised.

Scoring

1. The Arbiter will compare each card from the memorised pack with each card of the recall pack. At the first discrepancy between the two packs, only the cards up to this point will be counted.

2. The competitor who correctly memorises all 52 cards in the quickest time wins the discipline.

3. If a competitor recalls less than 52 cards, the memorisation time will be taken as 300 seconds and they will receive a score of c/52 points where c is the number of cards correctly recalled.

4. Scores will be calculated using the following formula for a complete deck of cards correctly memorised:

11180/(time to the power of 0.75)

This gives 1000 points for a deck recalled in 25 seconds.

5. The best score from the two attempts counts.

6. In the case of tied winning scores, the best score of the other trial will decide the winner.
