If a full game (two winds) is played, the game stops immediately. Scoring is done with sticks. Players should put the sticks on the table where all players can see them during the exchange. Players are obliged to count up their sticks when asked to by opponents. The game continues if a player’s score goes below zero; the player borrows score sticks from an opponent or the referee. **Prizes:** Individual prizes for the 3 highest ranked players.  Rules: We will use the [2026 EMA revised riichi rules](https://mahjong.dk/hubfs/Mahjong%20documents/Riichi/Riichi_Rulebook_2025_v1.1.pdf). ## Time schedule #### **Saturday, Januarty 23** | 09:00-09:30 | Registration | | --- | --- | | 09:30-09:45 | Welcome | | 09:45-11:15 | Session 1 | | 11:15-11:30 | Break | | 11:30-13:00 | Session 2 | | 13:00-13:45 | Lunch | | 13:45-15:15 | Session 3 | | 15:15-15:30 | Break | | 15:30-17:00 | Session 4 | | 17:00-17:15 | Break | | 17:15-18:45 | Session 5 | | 18:45-19:00 | Break | | 19:00-19:15 | Award ceremony |   ## Participants When payment has been received, your name will be highlighted in green.
