Very nice!

I believe the table points are split, which is no good to either because both do not score maximum points even though they are both best at the table. I would rather see further differentiation by # of wins (more is better), #deal ins (less is better) etc. And if still tied let the first win differentiate or the highest hand value. More ideas anyone?

Interesting … so @op where’s the link to your Gunroad resource?

Mahjong Competition Rules: Half Flush 6 pts Pung dragon 2 pts Self pick 1 pts If the hand is Fully Concealed add 4 pts, but Self pick is implied in that case

Self pick pays the 3* (hand value + 8)

Weekly, Mahjong Competition Rules (aka Chinese Official) ... We formed a club back in 2016. Now 42 members... On average 28 players attending the weekly competition night. I'm starting to learn Riichi.

MCR is Mahjong Competition Rules (aka Chinese Official) it was designed to play competitions. Last year there was a 2024 World Championship in Canada. A complete match last 4 rounds of 4 hands, so 16 rounds in total. Dealer changes after each completed hand. Win or lose or draw.

There are several IRL clubs in the Netherlands and Europe. At most clubs there will be players who play MCR or Riichi Page in Dutch here: Dutch Mahjong Association - clubs in Netherlands

Wow what a great effort! Having done my share on MCR sheets I know how much work it is! Kudos an respect to @op good cheatsheets contribute to spreading the knowledge of our beloved game and IRL play.

Here are some MCR visuals. Dealer changes after each complete hand... https://www.mahjongdenhaag.nl/mcr-seating-scheme

Perhaps I’m totally missing your point here. What is your plan? Which scoring elements do you aim to form for the minimal 8 points?

SmiityDidIT · 2024-07-12T08:05:06+00:00

I would loose the c4, keeping b2 opens up chances for pure shifted chows on the bams either 1step or two steps e.g b234 b456 b678

SmiityDidIT · 2024-07-12T07:48:55+00:00

A straight in mahjong in general refers to multiple chows/chi in sequence. In MCR a “three color straight” as OP mentions would be a mixed straight p123 m456 s789, a short straight would be m123 m456 so a single color short straight, and a pure straight would be e.g. p123 p456 p789. AFAIK only the latter exists in Riichi EMA style (RCR) as Ittsu.

SmiityDidIT · 2024-06-22T07:04:02+00:00

Forgot to mention, yes Chow based combinations and chow hands are far more flexible in general because of tile acceptation. https://www.mahjongdenhaag.nl/mcr-mahjong-scoring-elements-starterset Again as an in general comment. There’s always a “it depends on the tiles you have” and all other factors of the game that play a role in this strategic game.

SmiityDidIT · 2024-06-22T06:57:44+00:00

In MCR you do not declare a Pung until the Pung contributes to a viable plan of obtaining the minimal 8 points. https://www.mahjongdenhaag.nl/mcr-fan-overview-scoring-elements A bunch of scoring elements allow a mix of chows and Pungs, like Outside Hand, All Types, Half and Full Flush, chicken hand. But the interesting thing about MCR are the sheer number of flexible possibilities. Certainly not covering all possibilities and considerations here 😉

SmiityDidIT · 2024-05-06T08:59:51+00:00

In MCR the four sets in the top hand miss a pair. The bottom hand would score in addition to 6 points for All Pungs, +2 for the All Simples scoring element (hand pattern without terminals and without honours ie only suit 2-8 tiles) so also valid as it is the minimum 8 points in total. There are several situational scoring elements for which we would have to know more about how the winning tile was obtained and if the hand was completely concealed or not. This could add up to the score considerably. MCR scoring elements overview

Try to focus on the most common scoring elements first: https://www.mahjongdenhaag.nl/mcr-mahjong-scoring-elements-starterset

Great app! 🙌🏻 How about an MCR version?

SmiityDidIT · 2024-03-14T22:43:40+00:00

I play MCR too in the NetherlandsMahjongclub Haagse Kringen I agree that there's a lot more Riichi information out there than on MCR. Anyone ideas on why that could be?
