Team League
The Mahj Life Team League is an exciting annual online event where teams of skilled players battle through a series of rounds, all aiming for a coveted spot in the winner’s circle. Competing under the official National Mah Jongg League rules on the Mahjong Time platform, teams face off in a high-stakes elimination format, with the lowest-scoring teams being cut after each round. Only the highest-scoring teams advance as the competition intensifies, narrowing the field until the thrilling showdown. The remaining teams will compete for the prestigious Ruby, Jade, and Pearl awards in the grand finale.

How it works:
- We will use the Mahjong Time online platform because its guild feature is perfectly suited for this online competition.
- The team leader must register with Mahj Life using the form below. The team leader will be invoiced for the registration fee ($180 plus transaction fees). The registration fees contribute to the award pool. The more teams that sign up, the larger the award pool will grow—so be sure to invite others to participate for a bigger payout!
- Each team can have up to SIX players. Teams with fewer players will be disadvantaged, so make every effort to have a staked team throughout the competition. The EON/EPOCH application on a desktop or laptop is recommended, but the Mahjong Time Multiplayer (Jingle Prize) mobile app can also be used.
- Individuals can participate in as many games and marathons as they like up to 3 hours daily, from Sunday to Saturday. Games and marathons are not scheduled, so individuals can play when convenient.
- When ready, create your team at Mahjong Time, and remember to register using the form below.
