| I agree with Mark that the EMA makes tournaments not casual games, but where is written tournaments are no fun, they are dead serious? Of course i play serious Mahjong in a tournament and my goal is to win. However i wanna have fun and i think the majority of players want that too. Otherwise they wouldnt spent money to travel to tournament where you can win nothing! Like Ian pointed out, we are in the beginning with Mahjong (esp. Riichi) in Europe and we wanna get more players, not less. So i think we need to have a friendly atmosphere at tournaments to encourage the players having fun and continue playing the game. In the current situation with many players still learing the game strict rulings will make them lose the fun. |
