Grand Masters of Memory

The following people have been awarded a Grand Master of Memory.

To join their ranks you will need to either achieve 6,000 points at a World Memory Champsionship or achieve the 3 Grand Master Norms.
They are ... to memorise 1000 digits in an hour, ten randomly shuffled decks of cards (520 cards) in one hour, and be able to memorise
one deck of cards in two minutes or less.

These three criteria do not need to be achieved in a single championship.
However, they can only be achieved in competitions that have been officially approved and
arbited by the World Memory Sport Council.

Competitors who wish to attain their grandmaster qualifications at a World Memory Championships
must ensure that they compete in all 10 disciplines at a reasonable level i.e. not solely focussing on the Grand Master Events.
