Please read the following points carefully

No, there will be no selection process. However, we expect people to fully understand the WRC ruleset and have a fair amount of “hands-on” play expertise. We also expect people to follow good mahjong etiquette. Our goal is to create a competitive environment where serious players and upcoming pros can thrive and hone their mahjong skills.

The sooner, the better! No, seriously… We want to plan and organise our tournaments carefully and tailor them to our guests. For this, we kindly ask you to transfer the fee three weeks prior to the tournament. Otherwise we might need to void your participation and give the seat to the next person on the waiting list.

You will not earn EMA ranking points as this is not a MERS ranked event. This series of events is to complement the well-established and respected European MERS system.

Generally, the points are used for calculating ranks for pro players. Not everybody wants to become a certified pro or can’t/want to do so immediately. For this, we can optionally stash your points in a “wallet“. The moment you become a pro, you can harness those and start climbing up those ranks!

By default, the use of mobile phones, smart watches etc. is not allowed during games. This has several reasons: insurance problems, time loss, noise and most important: we want our players to not lose touch with manual counting and handling point sticks. While apps provide a great possibility to keep track of points at any given moment, we are convinced that good players are able to count and keep track of points by themselves.

Referees are a valuable part for all our tournaments and function as guardians of rules and fairness but also as a support for players and organisers.

To ensure a high quality of the games, even when things sometimes doesn’t go as we want them, we are leaning towards non-playing referees who can provide professional and swift arbitration with the least amount of infringement. We know everyone is eager to play and we want to acknowledge and reward people willing to make that sacrifice by participating as a referee.
