The World Riichi Rules consist of combined rulesets applied by the EMA and contemporary Japanese rules. The rules document is authored by Sylvain Malbec and is accepted by the EMA, JPML, and the rest of the tournament participants. The rules were applied to the 2014 World Riichi Mahjong Competition.
