Sunday’s schedule:
The event will start at 10am at Porc Borély, a big park in Marseille. If the weather is bad there will be an inside venue. Players will be free to spend the day as they want. Some activities will be planned at fixed times, such as the shooting of a video with the winners of the tournament (players will be chosen based on their ranking, if a selected player can’t or doesn’t want to enter their seat will go to the next player) in the morning, and a noon lunch with everybody.
About point sticks:
Here’s a quick introduction of this system of scoring for players who aren’t used to it.
At the start of the game each player gets sticks that represent a capital of 30,000 points, with unitary values ranging from 100 to 10,000. At the end of each deal, rahter than counting scores with a sheet of paper, points are directly exchanged, in the same fashion as you would exchange cash. It is not recommended to place the sticks in the hands of the receiving player, they should be laid down on the mat where everyone can see them.
Just as with cash, if a player doesn’t have the exact amount, the difference will be given back (for example it is possible to pay a 9,600 points hand with a 10,000 points stick, and get four 100 points sticks in return). It is also possible to ask other players for change, if for example a player doesn’t have any 1,000 points sticks to declare riichi or 100 points sticks to count honba.
If a player doesn’t have enough sticks to pay for a hand, some additional sticks will be provided by the referee, and the subsequent debt will be taken into account when counting the results of the table.
