Cost

$90 per person

(not per team — each player pays their own entry)

  • If you enter as a team (2–4 players), only two players will represent your team each match to help ease difficulty scheduling a match
  • Matchups will be published before the first round so you will know who you will be playing and can coordinate location and time
  • Standings are determined by how many points are accumulated during match play
  • For teams, total points will be pooled after the 4 games are completed (more games can be played but only the first 4 games count towards the overall score)
  • Location: Matches can be played anywhere and anytime that works for all players within the two weeks of each round
  • The standings will denote the "home team" or "home individual" who will be responsible for coordinating location, time, tiles and will be responsible for reporting the scores
  • The 2026 NMJL card will be used during the entire league - each player is responsible for bringing their own card to the match

Dealing
  • Home player will begin as East to start the deal
  • Dealer rotates counterclockwise after the first game and continues counterclockwise after each match so that each player can deal once
  • Each player takes their own tiles during the deal
Game Play
  • Each set of tiles must have 8 flowers and 8 jokers
Scoring Guidelines
  • Use the value of the winning hand as the base score
  • Add these bonus points to the base score:
  • +Self-Picked Mahjong: winner draws tile (from the wall) for Mahjong rather than calling for mahjong — +10 to score
  • +Jokerless Mahjong: a winning hand with no jokers — +20 to score
  • +Wall Wins: +10 for all players
  • !Forfeit: If a team cannot schedule a match after 4 documented attempts, that team forfeits and the other team receives +100 points. For individuals, if a single player cannot schedule after 4 attempts, the other individuals each receive +15 points and may still play with 3 people.
