This virtual mah jongg tournament is organized by the Pittsburgh South Hills alumnae chapter of Delta Gamma (www.southhillsdeltagamma.org) to benefit vision-related charities such as: Blind and Vision Rehabilitation Services of Pittsburgh, Western Pennsylvania School for Blind Children, and the Delta Gamma Foundation. 100% of the proceeds will go to these charities!
We invite you to play 4 rounds (total of 16 games) during the weekend of October 23-25, 2020 on the Real MahJongg website (www.realmahjongg.com) using NMJL rules and a 2020 NMJL card. Have fun at home with your friends while competing together online to try and win some great prizes – all while supporting some worthwhile charities. You could even do a zoom call on another browser so you could chat and socialize with your friends while playing.
Prizes will be as follows:
- First Place (highest score): $100 amazon.com gift card
- Second Place: $75 amazon.com gift card
- Third Place: $50 amazon.com gift card
We encourage you to sign up as a foursome with people you like to play with. If you do that, then you simply pick the times and dates that you will complete the 4 rounds and one person in the foursome will keep track of the scores for all rounds and will submit the completed scoresheet to mahjforsight@gmail.com and copy the 3 other players by Sunday, October 25th, 2020 at 6pm EST. The tables will not rotate. You will play with the same four people for all 4 rounds.
If you do not have a foursome, and still want to play, please sign up as a single player and we will try to match you with 3 other players to play. You will receive an email from mahjforsight@gmail.com to you and the 3 other players. It will then be up to the 4 of you to coordinate times and dates to play your 4 rounds together.
