2021 International Online Riichi Mahjong Competition (IORMC) - USA Qualification

Coming off of arguably the best performance the US has put to date in the IORMC, it is that time for the new USA (or perhaps old) team members to continue the march towards being the best in the world!

As a quick refresher, the IORMC was originally a competition between South Korea and Japan in 2011 that has grown into a worldwide country competition in a short period of time.

Seeing as though both the team and newly formed individual competitions are in such a short format, the qualifying sessions for the USA reflect that format.

There will be 4 sessions in all, held on each Saturday in August at 0900 PDT/1000 MDT/1100 CDT/1200 EDT. Only the first 3 sessions will count towards qualifying. A change this year is that the first spot will be awarded to the individual with the highest single scoring session - provided that their overall qualifying average is positive. All other spots will be awarded based upon their qualifying average.
