World Mahjong Sports Games (WMSG) Slot
Amongst the 3 riichi tournaments to be & was held this year, only this tournament can be awarded a WMSG slot. The number of slots are yet to be confirmed.
Eligible Participants
Only players who have participated in SMCRM’s past league session or tournament is eligible to participate in this tournament as this tournament is open to only SMC & SMU players.
Priority in registration
There is a fixed no. of slots for SMC players, capped at 20. Definition of SMC players are players who have participated in SMC activities AND are not current SMU students/alumni.
If WMSG slots have been awarded and because there’s a quota set for SMC players due to logistic constraints, players who have yet to secure a spot in WMSG will have a higher priority to participate in this tournament than those who have secured a slot. The rest will be subjected to first-register-first-serve.
This 20 players quota may be subjected to change if the no. of registrants from SMU side is less than expected, then we will take in more SMC players.

Australia will be a holding a tournament on 7,8 December, a 8 han-chan tournament.
All players will play for 6 han-chan and the top 4 players will play with each other for 2 han-chan to determine the champion.
The champion will get a slot in WRC 2020, which is held in August 2020, in Vienna.
Details can be found here: http://armo19.riichimahjong.com.au/
Registration can be done directly on your own via the website but It’s better to let me know so that I can coordinate and loop all interested players together so we can make accommodation planning together.
Some simple breakdown on the cost based on my estimation
Flight: Cheapest is scoot, currently at $500
Accommodation: $40 per person ($80 per night)
Expenses: $200
Entry fee: $50
Total: Basically around $1000, if you are not intending to travel.
Regarding WRC Quota for Singapore, I’ve no idea how many we are getting. I’m still waiting for the WRC Organiser to get back to me. But because they are shrinking the number of participants, we probably have fewer quota than the last time.
Depending on how many Singaporean players participate in this Australia Riichi Mahjong Open, I may or may not change the date of our local tournament that is tentatively scheduled on 7,8 December, pending venue confirmation.
