League FAQs

What makes this "not my grandmother's game?" 

• • Yes, we like to win, but it's about being together, we can get kinda loud, and we just wanna have fun playing the game we love. There isn't the pressure of a tournament, but rather a great way to play with new people.

Do you play with blanks and tapping? 

• • Nope, that's a table rule. We play NMJL (National Mah Jongg League) rules.

Is this Chinese, American or Wright-Patterson? 

• • It's considered American.

Do you supply the mah jongg card? 

• • Nope, you need to bring your own card of the current year.

Do I have to bring my own set? 

• • Nope, sets are provided. Just bring your card and readers if you need 'em.

I've never played before, can I play in the league?

• • Love your enthusiasm! But you need to be at least at the Beginner+ level to join us. Don't fret, I teach! See my Ready To Learn page.

I don't know anyone, can I come? 

• • Yes, please! We'll do our best to create tables with players of similar skill levels.

Are we going to rotate tables? 

• • You'll stay with your original foursome for the session. But we'll switch it up so you have a chance to play with different people each week.

I already have a foursome. Can we come?

• • Yes, of course! You can play as a foursome, or if you'd like you can play with other players. Just let me know which you prefer.

I'm not here all four weeks, can I pay for only the weeks I'm available? 

• • Sorry, we just can't do that. But you're welcome to pay the full registration fee and come for as many weeks as you can.

Darn it, I have to cancel. What do I do? 

• • I can refund your registration fee if you give me 72 hours notice.

Do you teach? 

• • I sure do, but you need at least three people to play, so gather some friends, send me an e-mail, and we'll go from there. See the Ready To Learn page on this site for details.
