Our warmest Welcome to all the players who joined the League in the past month of July. We are very happy to have you in our league and sincerely hope you will have as much fun playing in Veteran s Vortex room with us as we do.
For those players new to Mah Jong, or those who might want to refresh their knowledge, we have some helpful links that might help understand the game: One of them is Mah Jong Basics and Yahoo Scoring. Please keep in mind that this is a help site only, the rules are from real Mah Jong and some of them are slightly different to those of our League. You can also visit Yahoo Mah Jong Help and the League s Official Fan Counting page.
Any help or information you may need, please do not hesitate to contact any TD or Admin. We will be more than happy to help. Also, if at some point you happen to find yourself short of buxes to join the tourneys, please do not quit the League and rejoin to get buxes again … Cases might ban you from rejoining the League if you do so. Just ask in lobby and the TDs will find a premium member who can gift buxes to you. If you would like to never need to ask for buxes again, you can consider going Premium too.
We would like to take a moment to say good bye to our league member art_scapter, who passed away last month. He was a dear friend and touched the hearts of all who met him. Our sincere condolences to his family and friends. Rest in peace dear Ken, you will be deeply missed.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all the league members born in August, we wish you all a very happy day and many more years to come. Please remember to submit your Birthday Tourney Request as early as possible for one of our wonderful TDs can make a special tourney for you where you can choose day, time and your favorite rule so we can all celebrate your birthday with you.

Just as a reminder
The T.O.C. is played the first week-end of the month. It is an invitation only tourney. So, if you won a tourney the previous month you qualify and will get the automatic invite in your mail. You only need to CHECK-IN to play when the tourney time comes, since you have already been registered. In case you did win a tourney and didn t get an invite, please contact the TD to fix the problem.
The Rank Advancement Tourney is played the second week-end of the month. The four finalists get the first four spots of the Ladder.
The B.O.S. is played the third week-end of the month.
Luckymama and Mims are hosting Big Bux Giveaway Tourneys the first Sunday and the last Sunday of the month, respectively.

NOTE: Upcoming Birthday Tourneys and all Special Tourneys are posted in advance in the League s Main Page. Don t forget to check so you won t miss any of them, and Very Good Luck!!!
