On 8 Dec 2018, a Riichi Strategies workshop was conducted in SMU from 12pm to 5pm. There were around 20 players attended!
If you have missed it, you can take a look at the content covered here:Feng’s & Gabriel’s Intermediate Riichi Strategies Workshop in SMU Dec 2018
This link can also be found under learner’s corner.https://sgriichimahjong.files.wordpress.com/2019/01/sgp-riichi-strategies-workshop-8-dec-18.pdf
The slides were amended to be more read-friendly, with added elaboration and some unnecessary slides were removed. The details of dangerous/safer suji to be used are added.
I’m expecting more mistakes to be found by readers so do let me know the mistakes, no matter how minor! I will edit and make an amended version. I’m already informed of a few.
Please also let me know if you personally felt any slides were confusing or unclear!

League Points (LP) system
The league point system for this league will be your net score/1000 + the following points based on your position:
| 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th |
| +45 | +5 | -15 | -35 |
Example
A player finish in 1st place with 35k.
Net score = 35k-25k = 10k.
Total LP = 10k/1k + 45 = 55 LP.
Chombo Penalty: -30 LP , 4000 point payment to all other players, hand is redealt.
Missing sessions: No penalty
Attending the 9th and 10th session: +10 LP for the next league.
LP will be halved after the 8th session of the league.
The winner of the Main League will be awarded $40 vouchers which will be presented in the next tournament.
Side League
The main league consists of 10 sessions which will have two side leagues consisting of 5 sessions each. In each of the side league, the same LP system will be used, and the winner of each side league will be entitled to fee waivers for one session.
Bonuses from the previous league will not be added to the Side League. Also, LP from the Side League will not be halved after the 8th session.
However, penalties from chombo will still be deducted from the Side League.
Attendance Points (AP) system
The attendance points system for this league will be as such:
| 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | Sit-out/ Spectator | Missing sessions |
| +8 | +7 | +6 | +5 | +5 | -5 |
All player’s attendance points will be reduced to 10% at the start of the WRC league. Newcomers, this is the best opportunity to get higher AP than the veterans to avoid sitting out for your first game!
Feel free to ask any questions regarding this league’s rules if you’re unsure.
