Registration & Cancellation Policy Your registration reserves one of a limited number of seats in this specific two-session Beginner Foundations Series. Please be sure you are available for both dates before registering. Registration is nonrefundable. If your plans change, you may request a transfer to another Beginner Foundations Series at least 7 days before the first session, subject to availability. Requests made within 7 days of the first session cannot be transferred. Because Beginner Foundations is a sequential two-session series, missed sessions cannot be made up or transferred. Participants who miss Lesson 101 cannot attend Lesson 102, as the second lesson builds directly on the material covered in the first. If Central MA Mahjong needs to cancel a session, an alternate date or refund will be provided. Photo Notice: We may take a few fun photos during Mahjong sessions for social media and our community. If you’d rather not be in them, just let your host know.

The Beginner Foundations Series is a three-session learning experience designed to take you from learning the basics of American Mahjong to putting it all together at the table with confidence. We move at a comfortable pace, beginning with the fundamentals in Mahjong 101, building on them in Mahjong 102, and then giving you a full evening of Foundations Guided Play to practice what you've learned while support is still right there when you need it. That third session is all about playing. There’s no new lesson to master — just time at the table to practice, ask questions, and let everything you’ve learned start to feel more natural. Your registration includes all three sessions, the official National Mah Jongg League card, all materials, and a welcoming, small-group environment in our cozy Grafton studio. No prior experience is needed — just curiosity and a willingness to learn. What’s included: 🀄️ Mahjong 101: Tiles, suits, structure, and how the game works 🀄️ Mahjong 102: Reading the card, game flow, and putting the pieces together 🀄️ Foundations Guided Play: 2½ hours of relaxed, supported play to practice what you've learned and build confidence at the table 🀄️ Official National Mah Jongg League card 🀄️ All materials provided 🀄️ Small-group, women-centered learning environment in our Grafton studio 🀄️ A clear pathway into regular Guided Play, Open Play, and the Central MA Mahjong community Cancellation Policy: Purchase is nonrefundable.

Central MA Mahjong League — Season One The Inaugural Season • Fall 2026 The Central MA Mahjong League is a six-week season of organized American Mahjong play with friendly competition, rotating tables, weekly standings, and plenty of the warm, social atmosphere you already know from Central MA Mahjong. Players earn points throughout the season, watch the standings develop from week to week, and compete for Season One awards—all while enjoying six Thursday evenings of Mahjong with a great group of women. Season One Format: • Six weeks of competitive American Mahjong play • Organized tables and player rotations throughout the season • Points tracked each week with updated season standings • Friendly competition focused on good play, consistency, and fun • Season awards for First, Second, and Third Place Season One Schedule: • Competitive Play: September 17 – October 22, 2026 • Thursdays, 6:00–8:45 PM • Doors open at 5:40 PM • Season Celebration: October 29 • Final standings, awards, food & refreshments, and a Season 2 preview Who It's For: League is designed for players who are comfortable playing American Mahjong independently and familiar with the flow of the game, including the Charleston, turn sequence, calling tiles, and standard NMJL procedures. Can't Make Every Week? Life happens! You don't need to attend every competitive night to participate in League. If you need to miss a week, just let Erika know as soon as possible so a substitute can be arranged. You'll simply earn points for the weeks you attend. You don't need to be an expert—or the most strategic player in the room. You simply need to be able to play independently, maintain the natural pace of the game, and be ready for a little friendly competition. Inaugural Season Registration: $125 Season One is limited to 16 players.
