Why is ACADEMY in a name?

There are many reasons.
First of all, one of the main roles of AoIG is educational. Letter A is the first in an alphabet and A is the symbol for the highest card in a deck, which helps too.
But seriously, if we will get to the point, where we will give away an "Oscar" to best performing MSG athlete of the year, what logically the name of such an organization should be?

Are you saying that AoIG rating is the best way to measure performance of MSG athletes?

Yes, if we talking about uniform rating across all mind sport games.
As far as we know, there is none exist at this moment, but AoIG proposal. So by default, the AoIG rating is the best.

I want to play in poker tournaments. How do I start?

Currently, AoIG limits its operation to the state of Illinois, where there is a license required to run a Poker Tournaments for money. We are in process to receive such license.
In meantime, we will organized a poker tournaments just for "educational purposes", where we will train our staff on how to run a tournament and teach people new to game how to win in poker. Small fee will be collected for the lesson and winners will receive a non-cash prizes.
The best way to start playing Poker with AoIG is to register with AoIG. You will be the first one to know when the Poker competition, you are interesting in, will come to town near you.
