Tournament Format

The tournament will follow EMA rules , but will not count towards EMA rankings. Each hanchan will be played until the end of the South round, or until the end of the first hand that starts after the bell at 75 minutes, whichever happens sooner.


Table assignments will be pre-set for all rounds such that no-one will play against the same opponent more than once. Lots will be drawn at the start of the tournament to determine each player's number in the schedule.
