Format

4+ Hanchan Round-Robin. I hope we can make 8. But it depends on how many people attend.

Since I’m trying to accomodate players from all over the globe, the games don’t have necessarily be in one single block each day. Having more slots just helps a lot with not playing the same people each time.

All games will be played in Final Fantasy XIV Online as friendly matches “Four-player Mahjong (Kuitan Enabled)” on Data Center Light. After the game, the result should be screenshotted and sent to the organizer.

Rules

Most of these are the result of playing in Final Fantasy XIV Online.

Red Fives

and at the end the hanchan Points are divided by 1,000 at the end of the game (e.g. +3,400 becomes +3.4)

Placement bonuses are +15 / +5 / -5 / -15 In case multiple people end up on the same rank, the affected placement bonuses are added up and evenly distributed
