Hi,
I was wondering if there were any discussions related to how and how many players will be allowed to participate. Obviously, it's too soon to know the exact venue (and exact number of players), but would quotas be attributed flatly across all countries (two exceptions for pan-Europe and Japan) or would they be bloated in proportion to EMA country membership?
Also, will there be some kind of qualification requirement, and what shape would it have... for Europeans, Japanese and Canadians (for example)
Evaluate the game by all means. If you call yourselves 'International',please do not invite people from other countries and make fun of them.It is in bad taste.
I'm more worried about "NOT a simple" magically turning into "ALL simples".
Anyway, it seems this part was intended to refer to any fan.
The problem I have is that this is being used to "make news". It tarnishes whatever people like me perceive to be attempts to improve the individual and overall level of gameplay, especially since MN is the most prominent news outlet for EMA events. The verdict is that there is no improvement, and you don't need to participate in 3 tournaments to figure it out.
I'll keep my money from future events, unless the majority of players come from the #1 English riichi community website. My advice for the rest of you: claim haneman+ every hand. Eventually, people will count...
Though, anyone with an itchy-trigger-finger would have done so and not realize the consequence.
