ARRANGEMENT OF THE DISCARD SPACE (ARTICLE 227)

There is no rule for managing the discard space; discarded tiles will be displaced during a game because of the wall’s form and function. The form tells players that the curtsied wall is the one to pick from, and the function allows players to reach the wall as they push it forward. Another function is that some players do not want their discarded tiles in their vicinity because they want to block hand reading, so they push them away from their racks.
