April MSMC Tournament

I hope to see all of you at our tournament this Saturday, April 18, at noon in room 433-A of the SSMU building.

RULES

• The tournament is free to enter for any interested people.
• The amount of winds we play will depend on how many people attend.
• We will use the standard Hong Kong Old Style rules of the MSMC, with a 3 faan minimum as usual. (Check the links in the sidebar for a list of HKOS rules if needed)
• There are no abortive draws. This means that if all four players discard the same wind tile as their first discard, the hand continues regardless.
• Please clearly vocalize all calls. The terms you use should be clear and consistent (Chow/Chi, Pung/Pon, Gong/Kan, Win/Mahjong/Ron/Tsumo)
• Do not stall for longer than necessary. Excessively slowing down the game may be penalized.
• Do not take any tiles from the wall before the previous player has finished discarding. Drawing out of turn may be penalized, even if you do not look at the tile's face.
• Give other players enough time to call on discards. Do not play excessively fast for the purpose of making other players miss their opportunities to call on discards.
• You may take back any call until you have discarded a tile or revealed any tiles from your hand to accept the called tile.
• Once a discard hits the table, you may not take it back and discard a different tile instead. Your turn ends as soon as the tile is discarded.

• If you accidentally reveal any tiles from another players hand, you are no longer permitted to win for the rest of that hand.
• If you accidentally drop a tile onto the floor, there is a penalty of 8 points paid to each other player for every tile you drop.
• If you declare a win and show your hand while you have less than 3 fan, there is a penalty of 64 points paid to each other player.
• If you declare a win and show your hand while the tile discarded does not complete your hand, you must continue to play, but are no longer permitted to win for the rest of the hand (even if you change the composition of your hand or self-pick your winning tile).
• If you arrive late or must leave before the end of the tournament, there may or may not be a penalty to your score, depending on the amount of players we have.
