Find Mah-Jongg Players, Teachers, & Tournaments HERE

Want to find players (or mah-jongg teachers) in your area? This bulletin board is one tool you can use. Click here to read FAQ 15, and learn MORE ways to find players.

HOW TO USE THIS BULLETIN BOARD:

    FIRST, SEARCH THE PAGE FOR PLAYERS IN YOUR AREA:

      A lot of people have come here and posted announcements that they are looking for players. Scroll down below to see them. You can scroll through the entire list, looking to see if any are in your area. Or you could use modern technology to your advantage, utilizing the search function in your Browser* to search by city or state. Be sure to check abbreviations too. You may need to wait a moment for the entire page to load before searching. After your search, if you don't find anyone, then click the picture of happy players - that'll open your email program - and write your request.

      * In Netscape, go to "Edit"/"Find in Page" and start your search. In Internet Explorer, go to "Edit"/"Find (on this page)" and start your search. If you use the AOL browser, then I'm sorry, but I don't know if your browser has a Search function - God help you!   (^_^)

    SECOND, POST YOUR OWN ANNOUNCEMENT THAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR PLAYERS:

      EMAIL YOUR ANNOUNCEMENT to Webmaster@Sloperama.com or click the picture below to submit your Find Players/Teachers post. In your email, you must specify your location (city and zip code) and what kind of mah jongg you play (most American female players play "American/NMJL" mah jongg - if you do not know which variant you play, read FAQ 2b). Entries that do not provide sufficient information will not be posted.

      NO SHOUTING. Nobody is allowed to shout on this site except the webmaster and Tom. Typing in all capital letters is regarded as "shouting." If you use all capitals in your post, it will be converted to lower case before being posted.


    Click this picture to submit your own announcement.

    If you have already posted on this board, and if your post is still visible below, PLEASE DO NOT ASK US TO PLACE A NEWER ANNOUNCEMENT unless you have moved to a different city, or your game has changed to a different day of the week, or some other substantial change has occurred in regards to your posted information. IT ANNOYS THE WEBMASTER and he responds gruffly to frivolous repost requests. [Please read the preceding announcement. Thank you - Webmaster]

Hi Tom,
I would really like to get back into Mah Jongg again. Years ago I was taught American/Jewish Mah Jongg.
I live in Westchester, which is very central to the Los Angeles westside. It is between 10 to 20 minutes from Santa Monica, Venice, Marina del Rey, Culver City Mar Vista, Manhattan Beach, Playa del Rey. I'm just north of LAX near Lincoln and Manchester. I would be willing to provide the venue for a Mah Jongg group. If you have students in this area or know of players needing players----let me know.

I'm looking for one more player who's a beginner or beginner-intermediate player (if there is such a thing:-). Of the three players I have already secured, one is advanced and the other two (including myself) are beginners. Would prefer playing on the weekends as my work keeps me busy. However, that is definitely negotiable! Not interested in playing for big bucks ($5-10 max - if betting is even involved); rather learning the game and strategy are paramount. Hope there's someone in South Orange County who's interested. Thanks for reading!

I live in Irvine (92606) and would like to find a beginner Maj Jong Game. I watched my mother play MJ for many many years and when I was in my early teens, I would play in her game. It has been 40 years since I played but I know it will come back to me easily. I don't know the specific kind of MJ she played, but we are Jewish so I guess she played the Jewish or American version. I am willing to travel (not too far) to join a game. I hope there is someone out there that will take a chance on me.
Many thanx for your help.

I am interested in a friendly game of Mah Jongg with people of moderate to advanced ability.
I play for the enjoyment and have no need to overpower others for the sake of a game....
I think it is important to know your stuff but also be cordial and gregarious....
If you are interested, please be in touch.
Thank you!

Mah Jongg Classes Begin!
My grandmother, mother and my two aunts played Mah Jongg. I listened for years, while hiding on the attic stairs, to the sound of clicking tiles. It was all about bridge mix and laughter and community. Today, I have all of their Mah Jongg sets and live my families tradition every time I play.
My class will teach the basics of playing Mah Jongg (American Style). The focus will be on tile recognition, rules, strategy, rules, and lots of fun!
You will all be able to play MJ by the end of the session!

Hello Susan,
I've already helped you as much as I can. I have a bulletin board where people from all over can look for and find players and teachers in their area. My FAQ 4a lists teachers (including one in central Virginia). And I wrote FAQ 15 to help people learn extra ways to find players and teachers.
I'm posting this on both the Q&A bulletin board and the Find Players/Teachers bulletin board. Maybe someone in your area will see it and contact you. But you need to be proactive too. Don't just sit and wait. Avail yourself of the resources I've given you.
May the tiles be with you.

I am looking to join an existing game (as a sub or a regular) or to form a new one. Experienced players only. No beginners, please.
I can play afternoons, evenings and weekends. I'm willing to travel a reasonable distance. Happy to host.

My kind of mah jongg is:
We are Husband and wife beginners who are learning the basics of American or Chinese or National (not sure which, and doesn't matter to us. We're having fun learning as we go!). We are interested in joining or forming a weekend group of players (we have lots of room to setup multiple tables). We have several instruction books and are willing to play Mah Jong which ever way the group wants. We learn quickly, and we also have patience for other beginners.
