Curious about mahjong tournaments? Join our fun, low-pressure Mini Mock Tournament with three timed rounds to experience tournament-style pl Curious about American Mahjong tournament play but not quite ready to enter a full tournament? Join us at Ono Offshore for a Mini Mock Tournament designed to give players a chance to experience tournament-style play in a fun, low-pressure environment. We’ll play three 50-minute rounds with players rotating tables and seats between rounds, for 12 games total. Scores will be kept and top scorers acknowledged at the end of the day, just like in a real tournament, but there are no cash or other prizes for placement. This is for fun and practice: pride, not prize! Each participant will also receive one ticket for a random drawing for a few door prizes. Who Should Attend Players should be able to play American Mahjong independently without instructor assistance and feel comfortable playing at a pace of approximately 3–4 games per hour, and be willing to challenge themselves to keep up with the 4 games in 50 minute tournament pace. No tournament experience is necessary. We will aim for four games per 50-minute round. When time is called, unfinished games will not be scored. Schedule Doors open at 9:00 AM for check-in and assigned seating. Players must arrive in time to be seated and ready to hear rules and announcements at 9:20AM. Round 1 930-1020AM, Round 2 1030AM- 1120AM and Round 3 1130AM- 1220AM, followed by final scoring and recognition of our top scorers.
