Tiles clacking, players chatting and laughing, exclamations of “Two bam!” “Three crack!” and “Four dot!”
These are the memories shared by women who gather together to play the Chinese game of Mah Jongg.

What to expect when you are expecting… tournaments!
We realize you probably have questions about what to expect, so in anticipation, we hope to answer your questions here.
Do I have to wear a mask? Yes
Do I have to wear a mask even though some states don’t require? Yes, consider the tournament venue like our home. In our home we want to consider the safe, physical and emotional well-being of all of our guests. Also, some players are under 65 of age.
Can I wear a shield? Yes, if you come with proof that you had both vaccine shots more than two weeks prior to the start of the tournament then you can wear a shield.
Are you taking temperatures? Yes, plan to spend more time checking in. When you arrive at the tournament, you will come have your temperature taken and then asked to sign a waiver. After that you will be given your packet for the weekend. Temperatures will be taken at the beginning of each day.
Will there be hand sanitizer available on each table? Yes
What happens if someone takes their mask or shield off during the tournament? We are in the tournament business, not in the business of policing everyone so we hope that everyone follows the rules of kindness and consideration and keeps them on. But, if they do not, of course we will talk to them. It is mandatory. They can come off outside in the courtyard and when you are eating lunch.
Will I sign a release for DM from liability? Yes
** THINGS ARE CHANGING WEEK TO WEEK RIGHT NOW DUE TO COVID-19. WE ARE TRYING DO THE BEST WE CAN FOR OUR PLAYERS AND KEEP THEM SAFE. PLEASE HAVE PATIENCE WHILE WE NAVIGATE UNCHARTED WATERS. WE ALL WANT TO GET BACK TO PLAYING AND SEEING ONE ANOTHER. WE MISS Y’ALL!
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
