It's very natural to think things can only be the way you know them to be if you have never had a chance to witness other models. It's also very easy to confound the cause with the effect.<BR/><BR/>In a country where Mahjong is part of popular culture and part of its national identity, it's only normal the game has many levels of excellence and has its own economy attached to it, with a star

To bet or not to bet.<BR/><BR/>I learned mahjong as an exchange student at Osaka University in '95. From morning to night, there were students playing mahjong at rickety tables in most of the extra pockets of space on the campus. One glance at one of these tables and you could sense the energy. The four players were excited to be socializing, but it was more than that.<BR/><BR/>All of these

Tina:<BR/>I have no qualm with just using the entrance fees for the prize, (and maintenance costs), in fact that's probaly how it should be. It might not be a big prize, but of course you must risk more to win more.<BR/><BR/>Fortunately, with the internet, we have many possibilities to spread mahjong as we are doing right now. <BR/><BR/>Also, I may use strong words such as propoganda, but I

It's a nice entry, Jenn! I really enjoy reading such articles and views on mahjong tournaments and culture.<BR/><BR/>Well, I can't really comment like I'm an expert or what, but I know that in Singapore, for many mind sports (chess, xiangqi, weiqi/go, contract bridge, Scrabble, board games such as Cashflow etc.), there are oftentimes some small cash prizes which come from the entry fees for the

I should add that I don't mind others playing mahjong for money. So, Jenn, rest assured that I do not frown upon your fondness of money games; it's just that the situations are so very different in Europe and Japan. Next time I get the chance to visit Japan I would love to experience playing in a parlour.

Some of you find it surprising that EMA has so far held it's tournaments without money prizes, and it was mentioned that in that way it is not possible to spread mahjong. The enourmous growth in European mahjong the last few years tells another story.<BR/><BR/>You have to realize how young organized mahjong is in Europe, and how no potential sponsors have heard of the game. The situation is so

Although I generally play mahjong for fun, I don't mind gambling for it. My friends don't like it, so we just stick with non-gambling which is ok. However, I'd never play a tournament that didn't have a decent prize though. <BR/><BR/>There is a lot of ignorance surrounding gambling. People believe that gamblers are all compulsive and will gamble away their life savings, but this is simply not

yes I totally agree with you Ben, giving to people the dream to win a bunch of dollars increases dramatically the population of the event! I think it's necessary fpr the upcoming events in order to spread the game even more. Why poker became so popular? You can basically win money even in the cheapest tournament around.

Great entry!<BR/><BR/>Your perspectives on OEMC 2007 are really interesting. I hope they reach the European participants and organizers, particularly since many of them don't know very much about Japan's (very developed) Mahjong culture. <BR/><BR/>I think your points on gambling & Mahjong in particular are pretty on-target. While I don't like money tournaments personally, I find it surprising
