NMB is the Dutch member of the [[European Mahjong Association]], and oversees the organization of [[MERS]] tournaments in the Netherlands. As of 2025, NMB claims a membership of around 400 players across about 30 clubs. Only a few clubs focus on [[Japanese mahjong]]. | ||
== | ==Activities== | ||
The core activities of NMB are organizing yearly national tournaments, helping with the organization of other events, giving advice to clubs organizing tournaments, keeping an eye on rulesets, and promoting mahjong. They also train referees, and keep track of national rankings based on tournament results. A lot of international [[MERS]] tournaments have been held in the Netherlands. | |||
All mahjong variants are welcome, but the association and its members focus primarily on MCR ("Mahjong Competition Rules", a.k.a. Chinese official), [[Japanese mahjong|Riichi mahjong]], and NTS ("Dutch Tournament Rules", a variant of classical Chinese mahjong formalized in 2002). Most mahjong clubs that are members of NMB play by MCR rules, but clubs for all three variants exist. | |||
