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 Dutch and Danish customs. Notable features include the lack of [[Kuitan]] and [[Kuikae]] and the inclusion of [[Dora#Akadora|Aka dora]] and [[Rule variations#Ryanhan shibari|Ryanhan shibari]]. EMA has estabilished a Riichi Rules Committee to consider refinement and possible revision of the ruleset. | EMA currently uses two rulesets; one for Japanese Mahjong and another for Chinese Mahjong.

{{main|Mahjong European Ranking System}} | |||
==Ranking system== | Each national organization can apply to EMA to have their tournaments officially ranked. Each member country can hold one national championship (MERS-2) and two other events (MERS-1) per ruleset per year. EMA also admisters European Championships, held every 2-3 years, for both rulesets. | ||
===Ranking system=== | |||
EMA's Mahjong Europe Ranking System (MERS) has separate ranking lists for Chinese Mahjong (MCR) and Japanese Mahjong (RCR) rulesets. Both operate in the same way. From each tournament a player participates in, they receive a rating from 0 to 1000, where 0 corresponds to last place and 1000 to first. Then their overall rating from 0 to 1000 is calculated as a weighted average of the tournament results. <ref>http://mahjong-europe.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=56&Itemid=78</ref> | EMA's Mahjong Europe Ranking System (MERS) has separate ranking lists for Chinese Mahjong (MCR) and Japanese Mahjong (RCR) rulesets.
