Help the world by playing Mahjong!

Overview: Amidst the tragedy that was the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, it is incredible how many people from all over the world are helping in the relief efforts. In that spirit, Mahjong Time is hosting a Charity Tournament for Japan this Saturday. Every player who participates in this tournament  will contribute to the relief efforts in Japan. The entry fee for the tournament is 5,000 Dragon Chips, and Mahjong Time will convert 50% of  each player's entry fees(5,000 Dragon Chips = $5; 50%=$2.5) into funds that will be directed to American Red Cross: Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami. This Saturday with your help, the Mahjong Time community can help save lives and change the world, all by playing Mahjong!

Scoring: At the end of each round, each player will receive a "table point" according to the score. The table point assignment is as follows:

  • Highest score: 4 pts

  • 2nd highest score: 2 pts

  • 3rd highest score: 1 pts

  • Lowest score: 0 pt

If two (or more) players tie for a position, they share equally the added points. For example: 0.5 points each (half of 1 + 0) for two players sharing the last position.

Tournament rankings are determined through table points. Players with more table points in a game earn higher placement in the tournament. If a tie in table points occurs between players, the player with the highest overall score will be ranked higher. In the unlikely event that two players are tied in both table points AND overall score, the player that won more hands in the game will be ranked higher.
