Criteria - To Achieve IMM Title, all the following criteria must be met: 1. 3000+ championship points in WMC 2. 10+ decks of Cards Memo (1 hour event) 3. 1000+ Digit Numbers Memo (1 hour event) 4. Sub-2 min time in Speed Cards (Max. 5 min event) 1, 2 & 3 MUST be achieved in WMC (world memory championship only; side note: One hour events are only held during WMC and not in National and International formats) 4. Can be achieved anytime in any National/International/WMC format. |
