| I have to disagree here about the depicted spirit and environment of MCR, which now already came up twice on this page: At least for myself I have never experienced a MCR tournament which was ruled as stern as the passed EC Riichi. MCR has obviously quite a bunch of well-defined penalties for many situations, but they're by far not enforced all the time. And there's (at least) two things, which shouldn't be missed (and may also be helpful for Riichi): - for small infringements there's a progressive warning: the first yields a "yellow card", the following (in the same session) give increasing, but not drastic point penalties - the "entry fine" in Riichi (besides just telling "don't do that again") is a dead hand... - MCR has the written (!) rule "Don't sue the principle" and the EMA made clear in their tournament regulations "We appeal on all players to practice fair play and to foster self arbitration as much as possible. Don’t make a fuss about everything and please refrain from calling a referee for every ‘petty mistake’" - players who keep doing so may even be penalized themselves |
