All the games of the Second National Mind Sports Games will be held at the Wuhan Institute of Physical Education. It is the first time a national competetive event is being hosted by a university.

Despite challenges, the president of the institute Sun Yiliang sees the event as a good development opportunity.

"We will take advantage of the National Mind Sports Games to improve our campus environment and build up a wide platform to open up our institute to society," said Sun.

Wuhan Institute of Physical Education will invest a total of 45 million yuan (not including the spending on newly built gymnasium)?in the games, a relatively low cost?for holding such a national sports event.

All 21 hotels around the Wuhan Institute of Physical Education are ready to receive delegations.

A newly built gymnasium will be the host venue for bridge games and the opening and closing ceremonies.

However the gymnasium was not specially built for the games but under the institute’s own initial plan, according to Huang Haojun. To meet to the need of the National Mind Sports Games, the institute has made some adjustments to the gymnasium.

Much of the equipment was rented whenever possible.

To better serve the event, an etiquette volunteer selection contest, “Intelligent Angel,” was?held by the event organizers in March 2011. It attracted nearly 1,000 contestants from more than 20 universities in Wuhan.

After the fierce competition, top six contestants won the “Crown of Angel” to serve six major games and the following nine contestants won the title of “Star of Intelligence”. The top 16?women chosen?will serve as etiquette volunteers in some key posts during the games, including the VIP reception and awarding ceremony.?
