<h2>Scoring Method</h2>
<p>Season Winners: Convert table scores into Table Points (TP):</p>
<ul>
<li>First Place - 4 TP</li>
<li>Second Place - 2 TP</li>
<li>Third Place - 1 TP</li>
<li>Fourth Place - 0 TP</li>
</ul>
<p>Calculate Score = (Average TP + Average TP Best 10 Games) / 2</p>
<p>Final Ranking = 1000 * (N - P) / (N - 1), where N is the total players with at least 4 games, and P is your position.</p>
<p>The overall marathon victor is determined by the highest Rank Points from the best 4 of 5 seasons.</p>
<h2>Resolving Ties</h2>
<p>In event of a tie, precedence goes to the player with the highest sum from their top ten consecutive games. Should a tie persist, the player with more marathon games played takes precedence. If players tie in table points and hands won, points are evenly split.</p>
<h2>Game and Player Disqualification</h2>
<p>Tables with absent players for 100+ moves will be disqualified, and players repeatedly absent may face temporary or permanent bans from future games and tournaments.</p>
<p>Tournament Organizers reserve the right to enforce disqualifications and bans to maintain the integrity of the competition.</p>
<h2>Exiting and Penalties</h2>
<p>Leaving a Marathon Table for another game? Finish your current table first. Participants absent for over 100 moves in the first two rounds may face up to two 72-hour suspensions. Three absences lead to season-long disqualification.</p>
<p>Mahjong Time holds the discretion to disqualify players from future events for any reason.</p>

<br>
On June 14th, 2021, Adrie Van Geffen – a3geffen has passed away unexpectedly, and the
world has lost a truly great man and a mahjong guru. He played many mahjong rules
including MCR, Riichi, Hong Kong, Taiwanese very well.
<br>
<br>
Our relationship with Adrie
started at the dawn of the Mahjong Time project. Adrie Van Geffen helped us with the
tricky mahjong rules and scorings. He always had the time to listen and gave advice and
assistance when needed.
<br>
<br>
He also ran a column in our blog, with tips and pointers
for new and more skilled players. Adrie was always extremely helpful to new players in
their endeavor to learn the game. Prayers and fond memories are what we must
remember Adrie.
<br>
<br>
Adrie particularly enjoyed playing in our tournaments, and in his
memory, we will host a tournament each year on Adrie’s birthday. This year we will play
MCR rules. Perhaps, next year Riichi to continue Adrie Van Geffen’s legacy. It was truly a
pleasure to have gotten to know Adrie, he will be missed dearly:

At the end of each round, each player will receive a "table point" according to the score. The table point assignment is as follows:<br />
<ul>
<li>Highest score: 4 pts</li>
<li>2nd highest score: 2 pts</li>
<li>3rd highest score: 1 pts</li>
<li>Lowest score: 0 pt</li>
</ul>
If two (or more) players tie for a position, they share equally the added points. For example 0.5 points each (half of 1 + 0) for two players sharing the last position. Tournament rankings are determined through table points. Players with more table points in a game earn higher placement in the tournament. If a tie in table points occurs between players, the player with the highest overall score will be ranked higher. In the unlikely event that two players are tied in both table points AND overall score, the player that won more hands in the game will be ranked higher.<br />

Score</h2>
a. Winner of the Season:<br />
The winners of each table convert their table scores to Table Points(TP):<br />
<br />
First Place - 4 TP<br />
Second Place -2 TP<br />
Third Place -1 TP<br />
Fourth Place -0 TP<br />
<br />
Score = (<i>Average TP</i> + <i>Average TP Best 10 Games</i>)/2<br />
<br />
<i>Average TP</i> - the average table points accumulated during the Season.<br />
<i>Average TP Best 10 Games</i> - the average table points of player's highest scores during 10 consecutive games.<br />
<br />
Rank = 1000*(<i>N</i>-<i>P</i>)/(<i>N</i>-1)<br />
<br />
<i>N</i> - the numbers of players with a minimum of 4 games in the marathon<br />
<i>P</i> - players position in the marathon<br />
<br />

At the end of each round, each player will receive a "table point" according to the score. The table point assignment is as follows:<br />
<ul>
<li>Highest score: 4 pts</li>
<li>2nd highest score: 2 pts</li>
<li>3rd highest score: 1 pts</li>
<li>Lowest score: 0 pt</li>
</ul>
If two (or more) players tie for a position, they share equally the added points. For example 0.5 points each (half of 1 + 0) for two players sharing the last position. Tournament rankings are determined through table points. Players with more table points in a game earn higher placement in the tournament. If a tie in table points occurs between players, the player with the highest overall score will be ranked higher. In the unlikely event that two players are tied in both table points AND overall score, the player that won more hands in the game will be ranked higher.<br />
