Background
Every year, the Korean Mahjong League (KML) organise an online mahjong tournament on Tenhou. As of last year, there were participation of 7 countries. We are expecting 9 countries (Singapore and Vietnam to join) this year. Each country will send 4 representatives. It will be held in around November and the timing is around 4pm. A 1-day tournament of 3 han-chan of round-robin and 4th han-chan by ranking. While I don’t know any players from these countries, if you are lucky, you will get to play with ASAPIN from Japan, a Japanese player with Tenhou rank (11 dan). So we will be organising quite an extensive tenhou tournament to select the strongest 4 players to put up a good fight against them.
This year tournament will be held on 5th November

Tournament format
It will be danish ranking system (The strong vs the strong). For the 1st round, 6 han-chans will be played, followed by elimination of 4 players. After every elimination, every player’s total uma score will be halve before proceeding to next round. Subsequent elimination will be done with 4 han-chans till there are 8 players left. So the finals is 8 players with their score reset. These 8 players will be played according to 1st vs 3rd vs 5th vs 7th on 1 table and the rest on another table. They will play with the same players for 4 han-chan. Each han-chan there will be a switch of players position (In the MCR way) such that every player will get to be 1st,2nd,3rd,4th oya each. After the finals are played, the top 4 in terms of total uma score will represent Singapore. The 5th to 8th players will serve as reserve in the order of rank.
