QUESTIONS
DO I HAVE TO BELONG TO A CERTAIN CLUB TO PARTICIPATE?
You can be a member of a country club, a women's club, even a book club. Your team of two will be playing for your club - and a chance to be crowned champion.
WHAT IF MY TEAMMATE DOESN'T BELONG TO A CLUB?
No worries! They'll be your guest for the day - just as if you were playing in a Member/Guest golf tournament. They'll help you earn points for your club.
I'M NOT SURE WHO MY PARTNER WILL BE, BUT I WANT TO SIGN UP NOW!
Let's do it! Register now, and leave your teammate's information blank. When you find your partner, let us know and we'll add them to your team.
DO I HAVE TO BE AN EXPERT MAHJONG PLAYER?
Not at all! However, you should be an “independent” player - and be able to play comfortably without guidance and at the pace of roughly 3 games per hour.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
This is the fun part! Think country club chic, think professional golfer, or tennis player - it is up to you. We'll send some inspiration guides leading up to the day.
WHAT SHOULD I BRING?
Just bring yourself, your teammate, your 2026 National Mah Jongg League card, and be ready to have fun. We'll cover all of the playing materials.
