Additional information on scoring, the leaderboard, and more will be shared ahead of league kickoff. Don't worry about tracking your scores. Simplified tournament-style scoring will be used with an easy score sheet provided to all participants, and we will be available to help answer any questions.

READY FOR LEAGUE?

Many players in Bloomington and surrounding areas are newer to American Mahjong and our league is designed with that in mind: players who are ready to build confidence through regular play.

You do not need to be fast or experienced. You do need to be comfortable playing a complete game with minimal guidance.

League is a good fit for you if…

  • You have taken a beginner series (or have the equivalent experience)

  • You can set up the tiles, complete the Charleston, and play a game from beginning to end

  • You know how to determine who East is and understand the flow of play

  • You own a 2026 NMJL card and know how to read it.

  • You are comfortable asking questions between hands, but don’t need step-by-step coaching during your turn.

  • You are excited to improve, meet new people, and have fun!

  • You don’t mind making mistakes; we all do!

  • Are an experienced player, but have the patience to play with newer players in our community (note: this is a league, not a tournament).

League isn’t about playing perfectly.

It’s about playing consistently! If you have ever thought, “I just wish I had more people to play with,” you are probably a perfect fit.
