2017 World Riichi Championship: Difference between revisions

== Rules in effect ==

The rules in effect will be the [[World Riichi Rules]], nearly identical to the 2014 WRC, with a minor revision in 2015.

* [[Chombo]] is 20 points deducted from the overall score of the player. It does not effect the current game, other than forcing a reshuffle and redealing of the tiles.

* 90-minute time limit (75 + 15 for current and last hand) applied

== Quota distribution ==

== Tournament format ==

Players will play out 9 [[hanchan]].  They will be subdivided into Groups A and Group B.  Out of the total participant count, the top 32 will proceed into an elimination tournament.  At each stage, they will play 2 hanchan.  Tournament days 1 and 2 will have 4 hanchan each, while day 3 will have the 9th hanchan immediately followed by the first two stages of the elimination tournament.  Day 4 will include the semifinal and the final.
