        • penalty for throwing the winning tiles to two or more exposures, and

        • 10 points will be awarded for wall games.  

      • With regards to a "dead hand":  Since some platforms do not call all hands dead, if a player’s hand is called dead by another player in the messages and/or in the game, and the hand is dead, they do not get points for a wall game. 

      • If during a game with four players, a player loses connection for a single game, they do not get any points if the Bot that replaces them wins and/or if there is a wall game.

      • Please email ModernMahjong@gmail.com if you have any questions. 

      • We are looking forward to our ModernMahjong tournament and hope this is the first of many fun and exciting events!
