I wasn't planning on having another tournament till 2020 Q3. But since most of us are at home, let's have another tournament! This is the third Doman Mahjong Tournament on Light, feel free to make an alt to join. As before, this tournament is a player event: it is not affiliated with Final Fantasy XIV Online etc. Though, I would welcome some endorsement. :3

Riichi Rules

Most of these are the result of playing in Final Fantasy XIV Online.

three red fives (aka ari)
players start on 25,000 points and return 25,000
placement bonuses (uma) are +15/+5/-5/-15
- if multiple players end up with the same score, uma is divided between players
hanchan ends if a player falls below zero points (tobi)
South 4 Round also ends when dealership doesn't pass (agariyame)
open tanyao is allowed (kuitan ari)
13 han and above is a kazoe yakuman
cumulative single yakuman:
- e. g. Big 4 Winds is one yakuman
- e. g. 4 Winds, All Honour is two yakuman
double ron allowed, no head bump
abortive draws for
- 9 unique terminals/honours in starting hand (kyuushuu kyuuhai) ¹
- same wind tile as the first 4 discards (suufonsu renda) ¹
- 4 kan not from the same person (suukaikan) and ¹
- triple ron (sancha hou) ¹
no abortive draw for 4 riichi (suucha riichi)
mangan at draw (nagashi mangan) is possible ²

If a player is late by more than ten minutes, they are replaced by a substitute player for the hanchan.

On Missed Games and Substituted Players

Substitute players are scored normally and then not included in the ranking. The player missing the hanchan doesn't get any points and will have a 30 points penalty.

Format

4+ Hanchan Round-Robin. I hope we can make 8. But it depends on how many people attend.

All games will be played in Final Fantasy XIV Online as friendly matches “Four-player Mahjong (Kuitan Enabled)” on Data Centre Light. After the game, the result should be screenshotted and sent to the organizer.
