Welcome to the 2nd annual Yakitori Riichi Open in Berlin!

We wish everyone great achievements.

After last year's success we are happy to be back at the same location. We read all the feedback we received and hope to implement some improvements to this year's tournament.

As last year we will be playing 8 Hanchans, 4 each day, with the first 6 Hanchans being random seating without repeating opponents, the 7th Hanchan will be intervall seating in brackets of 16 and the final Hanchan will be seated according to the standings after the 7th Hanchan.

The special name-giving Yakitori Award will also return! The player who achieves the special feat of winning a Hanchan while not having won a hand (i.e. being Yakitori) shall receive this reward. In the probable case that no one will have achieved this the award shall go to the player with the most Yakitori Hanchan. The award will come with a special award cup and free entry to next year's Yakitori Riichi Open!

We are happy to announce that this year we will be having a social play on Friday night from 7pm to 10pm at the tournament's location.

Further information about seating and a detailed schedule will be announced at a later date.

We are looking forward to having you back soon in Berlin!

Your Berlin Mahjong Club
