As for WAML, it's pretty much dead, we'll have to figure out what to do with the scores in place, and do something different. I'm willing to pass the reins off on that one. Trying to run a distributed grid like that across any area with more than 2 time zones (so not Canada, the US, EU+Russia, or in this specific instance: the entire planet) is bound to fail. As Top Gear says, ambitious but rubbish.
Once again, I'll propose something similar to the LMC system, where we schedule online game sessions on a semi-regular basis. Whoever comes, they play; and we get their scores. It's somewhat a makeshift hybrid of the initial but ridiculously chaotic WAML from years ago to the more organized but dead WAML of this year.

Ah yes. This is probably most convenient to US/Canada East Coasters.

Personally, I feel, that I have to go to this one.

Is it open to everyone?
I have never played with real tiles, so many it's not a good idea for me to go lol
There doesn't seem much info on the site, except for pre-registering

It's open to everyone, thus the whole point of calling it an open. Anyone who can pay the registration fee and that knows the rules of the game should be able to register.
If you do not know how to play riichi mahjong, or have otherwise committed the most foul of foul acts (cheating or sabotage), then of course you can't. If you have never touched live tiles before, I actively suggest going to a mahjong club and get the feel of the game two or three times prior. Montreal, Waterloo (ON), Chicago, New York, Crestville (FL), Seattle, San Francisco, and a few others are good places to get that live experience that while not mandatory, is very important to perform well at the tournament.
You should be able to discard relatively fast, as well as count waits and furiten with ease.

Oh, I'll be expecting for the food to be good. Kekekeke.
Now, despite the fee and my personal rule of "one destination per calendar year", I feel compelled to attend this one.

Picked up my first ever single wait suuankou. Should this not be 64000 (double yakuman) instead?

Also back to 5dan again 
|
Maybe you have to tsumo for double Yakuman?
also nice first hand kill 
|
As far as I am aware it should be a double yakuman regardless of ron or tsumo. The double yakuman is granted for 4 concealed triplets with a wait to complete the pair. The triplets are concealed no matter how you complete the pair.
But tenhou has its own set of rules, and apparently there simply are no double yakuman on tenhou.net:
arcturus.su/wiki/Multiple_yakuman
Some groups, most notably Tenhou.net, do not award double yakuman for any specific hand. However, multiple yakuman are still possible, if two (or more) different yakuman are completed in the same hand.
|
Nice hand, Rhaegar. Indeed Tenhou doesn't do double yakuman, although it does recognize the hand as a separate variant. Multiple yakuman is possible, as the wiki said. But getting 32000 points should get you to 1st place in most cases anyway.

What would you have done here?
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/mY1Ay4W.jpg)
+ Show Spoiler +I knew I drew the devil there. Still went for it. Lost 7700 to West.
And in the next hand, shimocha drew a turn 7 open Honitsu Honroutou Toitoi Haku Hatsu Chun (as if 9 han wasn't enough, this also happens to be a yakuman).
|
2p is the correct discard here, if you ask me. If it were me, I would defend all the way, considering 5 doras are unseen, and 9m is very dangerous.
|
I probably would have discarded the 2p here too seeing they discarded 3p before riichi. Also like Benawii mentioned, 9m is super dangerous due to 8m dora. If I discarded 9m, then I wouldn't have even thought about the 2p.
Not too sure when you were iishanten but I would have riichi this hand 2 steps after west riichi seeing how the other two appear to be defending. No need to conceal your hand when the only other contesting player is in riichi. Then again I've been losing a lot lately so maybe no the best suggestion 
|
That 3p was from a 334p shape. I don't know why, but the 9m didn't feel as dangerous as the 2p to me. I still held it until I had to discard it to get tenpai. The 2p however, the moment I saw it I cursed my luck. I was set on not backing down (except maybe if I drew a dora I guess), so I didn't think about it either, but I still wished had drawn better.
I'm not so sure about the riichi. I was content with the value of the hand and didn't want to make my opponents play more defensively against me as well. In rarely call riichi when I get tenpai that late, I'd rather increase my odds of winning something before anyone else can.

If you notice, I'm toimen. I managed to punish this foolish riichi with a mangan. And I'll never know - why the hell did he do that?

omgomg, could this be? My first ever yakuman?
into guy on the left riichi for 2.6k. I've never felt so betrayed before in my life. I don't think I'll ever get a starting hand like that again lol
But man the shaft was real. I got another dora super fast, probably like 3rd or 4th draw, decided against replacing one of the other pairs because I figured getting another dora if I have to settle for calling would be harder. Next draw obviously another dora that would have made it a tripplet orz
|
Nice starting hand. After drawing another dora I would discard south instead, because 7788s can become iipeikou. Also, having two doras in your hand boosts your hand point by a lot, giving you a good chance of ending up 1st.
