2020 Chicago Online Riichi Tournament

Date/time: Saturday, May 16
Tentative time: 2:00 PM US Central Time (7:00 PM UTC)

Discord: For tournament coordination, feel free to head over to our club Discord.

Given the “anime” nature of the original event, we’ll stick to the same theme and point to Majsoul as the choice mahjong platform. A tournament lobby will be made; and its ID number will sent out upon creation.

Tournament lobby number: 781333
