The Great Scholars Riichi Mahjong Tournament was the first Riichi Mahjong tournament in Oxford. The winner was Philip Bielby. Final rankings and scores are now available.
The tournament took place on Saturday 6th April 2013 at North Oxford Association, Summertown, Oxford. 24 (out of a maximum possible 48) participants played 5 hanchan according to EMA RCR rules. The tournament had an MERS rating of 1. We trialled a Swiss-style seating system in this tournament.
Thank you all for playing in Oxford. Martin Lester and Alex March, Tournament Organisers
