Updates and stuff: Belarus, stats...
(→‎Rulesets: EMA update, written to try to be future-proofed in case we forget to update it in April. Deleted committee reference, as it was hot air, and doubt it will matter in the future.)

===Future Membership===
===Future Membership===
At this time, it is unknown if new member organizations will be welcomed into the EMA for the next General Assembly.
As of May 2016, it is likely that [23] Belarus will become a new member organization, to be welcomed into the EMA at the next General Assembly. The EMA member page already talks about 20 member countries, but according to statutes, only at a General Assembly can their membership be formalized.

==Participation==
As of October 2014, there are 376 active players (players with 2 or more Riichi tournaments played within the last 3 years), an increase of 70 from July 2014 (306 members). There are other players within these countries, so the totals provided below are not ceilings of activity but rather a minimum baseline to count upwards from.

{{main|EMA rules}}
EMA currently uses two rulesets; one for Japanese Mahjong and another for Chinese Mahjong. For Chinese Mahjong, EMA uses MCR ruleset that is regulated by Chinese authorities and used in the Chinese Mahjong World Championship. For Japanese Mahjong, EMA has [[EMA Riichi Competition Rules|their own Riichi ruleset]] that is based on the World Riichi Championship rules, updated in 2015. The four differences from the WRC rules are: double/triple ron allowed, no [[kiriage mangan]], unclaimed bets are taken by the winner, and more lax rules for call priority and timing. These rules take effect in April 2016.

The previous rules were loosely based on Dutch and Danish customs. Notable features included the lack of [[kuitan]], the inclusion of [[kuikae]] (2008) and its removal (2012), the use of [[Dora#Akadora|aka dora]] and [[Rule variations#Ryanhan shibari|ryanhan shibari]].
