Introduction to Mahjong Fair and Honest

What is Mahjong Fair and Honest League
    This brand new Mahjong League has been created to promote fair and honest mahjong games. The purpose of this league is to provide an alternative ladder system to Yahoo's as well as frequent Mahjong Tourneys to all league members. All games are to be played in Veteran's Vortex. This league should not be viewed as a replacement for Veteran's Votrex. It should work hand-in-hand with Veteran's Vortex. Players should feel free to play normal Veteran's Vortex games or League games. Everyone is invited to join the league. No one will be turned away, unless they break the rules of conduct below.

    • Competitive Ladder System - This is similar to normal ladder system. Losers of games are expected to report their losses. The results are then posted to the ladder and positions of the players are adjusted. Players can challenge players of lower ranking, and the games must be honored in a fixed number of days. Refer to Case's Ladder pages on Getting Started and Rules for additional instructions, information, and tips.

    • Tournaments - These tournaments (tourneys) are created by and run by Tourney Directors (TDs). Each game played in a tourney will be reported to the ladder system after the tourney ends. As the number of players and tournaments build up, it is possible to have ‘ladder bux’ awarded to winners and runner-up’s of the tourneys. These bux may be used to buy cool things from the Case Ladder website. Bux fees may also be charged for an entry into certain ‘high bux’ tourneys.

Playing in a Tourney (now available)
    • A Tourney Director (TD) will announce the time, number of players, and the Jump# of the tourney in the Veteran's Vortex lobby.
    • When he announces that the Registration is open, the players then register for the tourney.
    • Go to HTTP://WWW.MYLEAGUE.COM/MAHJONG, then enter the jump number in the jump# box in the navigation column on the left then click enter. (You can also look for the Tourney in the Tourney Calendar but it often takes longer to appear there.)
    • Click on REGISTER and enter your ID and password.
    • When the TD announces that Check-In is open, the registered players may then go to the Teams/Check-in Page for the tourney and check-in if they were not already checked in.
    • When Check-In is closed, the pairings will be posted. To see the pairings and find out who your opponents are, refresh the tournament page where you register. You should see a new link called STANDINGS. Click on this link and you will see the pairings.
    • Go find your opponents and proceed to play your game with the settings the TD has requested.
    • When the game is complete, report your wins or losses to the TD. DO NOT REPORT THE LOSS AT CASE'S WEBSITE, THE TD WILL HANDLE THAT.
    • If you need to contact the TD at any time, please use Yahoo! Messenger instead of an instant message from inside the game or entering active tables. This keeps game interuptions to a minimum and will not overtake what the TD is typing at the time.

Rules of Conduct
    • Players will be courteous to other players of the league and to the TDs.
    • Force Forfeiting (FF) is not allowed during league games. A player that FFs a league game will be removed from the league. We have no control over non-league games and will not remove players based on FFing in non-league Yahoo! games.
