If you propose the round, you are responsible for bringing everything needed to play: a Mahjong mat, tiles, racks and pushers. Every player should bring their own current NMJL card.

Yes. Every player should bring their own current 2026 NMJL card to each round. Scoring is based on the point values shown on that card.

A round is two to four games played in one sitting with the same four registered players. Four games is the standard. Add your scores from all games played for one round total. You cannot combine individual games from different sessions to make a round.

Most individual games take about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the pace of the table. Plan on approximately 1 to 2 hours for a full four-game round.

There is no set time limit. Plan for four games in one sitting; a minimum of two completed games counts. Your group can play at its natural pace.

A missed week can be your dropped week because only your best six of seven weeks count. If you miss more than one week, you will have fewer than six weekly scores to add to your season total. Extra rounds in another week cannot replace a missed week's score.

Notify the other players as soon as possible and help find a registered replacement. A cancellation made less than 2 hours before the scheduled start time costs 10 points if your seat is not filled. A round counts only when four registered players finish at least two games together. See Terms & Refunds.

If an emergency requires you to cancel within 2 hours of the scheduled start time, notify your table immediately. Afterward, email info@briarhousesocial.com to have any penalties removed.

Submit the games you finished, with a minimum of two games played in the same sitting by the same four registered players. A round of two or three games still counts; fewer games mean fewer points. One game never counts.

Only your best qualifying round score each week counts toward the season standings. A qualifying round is two to four games played together; four is standard. Your best six weekly scores from the seven-week season make up your season total. The awards and prizes are:

• Rally Champion: Highest season score. Wins tiles ($400+ value), a mat ($90+ value), and racks ($110 value).
• Second Place: Wins a travel set ($350 value).
• Third Place: Wins a mat ($90 value).
• Social Butterfly: Play with the most different registered players across all completed qualifying rounds, including extra rounds. Wins a set of 4 magnetic racks ($110 value).
• Steady Hand: Highest average score. Minimum of 6 qualifying rounds. Wins a mat ($90 value) and an insulated cup ($50 value).
• Mystery Special Award: A special award is still under wraps. Category and prize to be announced.

Every winner also receives a trophy. Players may win more than one award.

Each Rally week runs Monday through Sunday, Central time. You can play as many rounds as you like, but only your highest round score from that week counts toward the season standings. Your best six weekly scores from the seven-week season make up your season total.

Absolutely. Play as often as you like. Only your highest-scoring round from that week counts toward the season standings. That score is the total of all games played in the same sitting, not a selection of your best individual games.

Your season total adds your best weekly round score from each of your six highest-scoring weeks. If you play all seven weeks, your lowest weekly score is dropped. If you miss one week, that can be your dropped week. You cannot count two rounds from one week to make up for a different week.

Yes. Social Butterfly counts different registered players across all completed qualifying rounds. Steady Hand uses the average of all your completed qualifying rounds, with a minimum of six qualifying rounds during the season. Those six rounds do not have to be played in six different weeks. These awards include extra rounds and rounds from your dropped week.

Scoring is based on the point values assigned to hands on the 2026 NMJL card. Download the Scoring Guide & Scorecard for a bonus example and a printable four-game scorecard. The Player Guide explains how to submit your round.

Players should review the round score together before it is submitted. Follow the submission steps in the Player Guide so everyone uses the same method.

Ties for any award are broken by higher average round score, then higher single-round score, and if still tied the placing is shared.
