At the day of the tournament

The ultimate goal is to hold top quality competitive mahjong event. There are obvious limitations like to have all the tables to be completed. Hence, the confirmation procedure is the most critical component!

The launching scheme will work as follows:

  • all 3 groups of players in the main section of participants will be placed into "main players" section as-a-whole, the starting seating for the session 1 will be determined randomly by the system
  • on the contrary, players in the "substitute players" section will have their order based on their ranking, whenever the opportunity comes, only the first in the list will be taken
  • all the players are strongly adviced to enter the system 30 minutes before the start of the tournament
  • 20 minutes before the start of the tournament the confirmation will start
  • IMPORTANT: confirmation will end 5 minutes before the start of the tournament, after that all unconfirmed players will be REMOVED from the system!
  • when only 5 minutes left before the start, the goal of tournament organizers is to complete tables, which will be done by "moving" the first available confirmed player in the substitute players section to the "main players" section; the process will be repeated untill the last incomplete table would be filled in
  • at the declared time the tournament starts
