While not denying the need for a global standard, the organizer decided that for a first tournament, the rules would attempt to make a suitable hybrid between local rules and the World Riichi Championship rules used previously in 2014 in Puteaux, France. | While not denying the need for a global standard, the organizer decided that for a first tournament, the rules would attempt to make a suitable hybrid between local rules and the World Riichi Championship rules used previously in 2014 in Puteaux, France. | ||
( | === Basic settings === | ||
* Type: Ari-ari mahjong. | |||
* Points: 30,000 to start, busting ends the game. | |||
* Dora: All standard dora, kandora follow late flip rules. | |||
* Chombo: 20,000 point deduction, done at the end of the game (a delayed negative score), affecting table placement. | |||
* Call priority: 0.5 seconds. Ron calls have a three second window regardless of other calls. | |||
* Red fives: None. | |||
* Games end at South 4 or when someone busts. | |||
=== Yaku and scoring options === | |||
* No abortive draws | |||
* No counted yakuman. (11+ han = sanbaiman) | |||
* No multiple yakuman. (Absolute limit of 32,000/48,000) | |||
* No renhou or paarenchan. | |||
* No ryanhan-shibari. | |||
* Tenpai-renchan. | |||
* Proper furiten required. | |||
* Last-hand riichi sticks are removed from the game. | |||
=== Faults and fouls === | |||
* 1 to 5 tiles (from anywhere but opponent's hands) = 1,000 pt deposit. | |||
* 1 to 5 tiles from an opponent's hand = dead hand. | |||
* 6+ tiles from anywhere = chombo. | |||
* False ron call with no tiles shown = dead hand. | |||
* False ron call with tiles shown = chombo. | |||
* Illegal upgrade of a call = chombo. | |||
(Legal upgrade: Any variation of "po-ron" or "pon, I mean ron" done quickly (0.5 seconds) prior to tiles being exposed is tolerated. Taking much longer, or exposing two tiles then calling ron is illegal.) | |||
=== Extra rulings === | |||
* Scoring sheets (for marking the final game score) along with a point grid will be provided. | |||
* Yaku sheets are not provided: players with them may not consult them during a match (from East 1 to South 4). | |||
* Violations of the rules are potentially subject to 10,000 point deductions. | |||
* Cheating will lead to immediate expulsion. Standards of proof are not subject to debate. | |||
* Self-arbitration is both encouraged and required. The referee is responsible for the tournament, not for each individual. | |||
* Scoring is done with point sticks: please overpay quickly and efficiently. Do not dive for 26 green sticks for payment. | |||
* All calls should be vocalized cleanly and effectively. If you have a problem articulating P/R, or in general: let the table know. If the table has to warn a player twice, the third time may be subject to a dead hand ruling. | |||
* No foreign objects allowed on the game tables. Placing a beverage, food or a rack/ruler (or anything else not necessary) on a game table is subject to a 10,000 point deduction per violation. | |||
