Belgian Championship Riichi 2025

The 1st Belgian Championship Riichi (non-Mers) will be hosted by Rode Lotus Leuven on Sunday December 7, 2025. This is a tournament exclusively for residents of Belgium and players with Belgian nationality.

The location of the tournament is near the station in Leuven, at the Rode Lotus clubhouse, Diestsevest 39. There will be 5 hanchans. Gong after 75min: finish the game + 1 more. The maximum number of players is 48. We'll play by the EMA RCR rules.

We will use the Mahjong Tracker app for the scoring. This gives us interesting data and provides us live scoring.
