JPML rule A is kuikae ari too, and even if you can you'll rarely "pick-and-switch" anyway, so that would not be much a problem.

IMO, kuitan nashi will be the most problematic point for a world championship.

Bunta's comment, while pertinent (especially in the light of Europe wanting to organize a world championship, seeking support from leagues with open tanyao), is far from happening any time soon.

To shorten my point, kuitan-nashi Mahjong is like Formula 1 racing with 3 tires. It's probably a great learning exercise (good) that they turned into the only form of testing (bad). If that was the only problem, most people could live with that. The bigger problem for EMA Mahjong is their tolerance for a type of call that would be considered cheating anywhere else: tolerating the pick-and-switch for the same tile. (chi 78+9, throw nine; pon 11+1, throw one)

For a WC-Riichi event to succeed, that last point needs to be addressed once and for all. As for the rest of the rules, it will most likely be a take it or leave it scenario. There's nothing we can do about it.

If the red 5s would be removed and open tanyao allowed the rules would be even better.
But i appreciate the current changes cuz they minimize the luck factor a bit.

I have played this game it is not like real MJ. There are to many Self MJ , the scores become ridiculous at time, the program may be flawed, I seen to many strange things happen with this program. I still play this computer program , but it is far from being close to real MJ. I play TW MJ . Things like NO such MJ and you have a wriong MJ do not exist in real MJ , The rating systyem is way out of wack, Im sure some white person invited this program..I really think they it is a artifical intelligence has a mind of its owm,,,ramdom tossing of tiles does happen , the software for LABTOP needs lots of updating , becareful when you play this game..I have played for 50 years MJ and this game is far from being perfect ....

mobileeng AMSTERDAM - From now on, there is a special edition of Mahjong News for your smartphone. So now you can much easier check the latest news from the wonderful world of mahjong on your iPod, Samsung, Android or whatever device you have.

The Mobile Edition has been a desire of editor Martin Rep for a long time, but until now he could not find a satisfactory template which meets with his needs. "Finally, I have found a good one, and that's Mobile Joomla," he says. "Even though there are some drawbacks. Tables with results are not always displayed as nicely as I would. But I am sure, this will be fixed in the near future."

For the iPad and other A5 devices, no conversion was necessary. "Mahjong News is displayed beautifully on your iPad", according to Martin Rep. "No one does not have to miss one single mahjong news update anymore."

You don't have a smartphone and you still want to check what the mobile version looks like? Try this url for the iPhone or this one for the Android.
