Fall Rally refund policy

Rally commitments and cancellations
A scheduled round is a commitment to the other three players. If you must cancel, notify the table immediately and make a reasonable effort to help find a registered replacement.
A cancellation made less than 2 hours before the scheduled start time costs 10 points if your seat is not filled. A round counts only when the same four registered players complete at least two games together in one sitting.
If an emergency requires you to cancel within 2 hours of the scheduled start time, notify your table immediately. Afterward, email info@briarhousesocial.com to have any penalties removed.
Fall Rally participation rules
- All four players in a qualifying round must be registered for the current season.
- Each qualifying round consists of two to four games played in one sitting by the same four registered players. Four games is the standard; a single game never counts. Games from separate sessions cannot be combined into a qualifying round.
- Players should review the round score together before it is submitted.
- Players are expected to communicate respectfully and follow the current NMJL rules and Mahjong NTX season rules.
Scheduling and locations
Players arrange their own dates, times and mutually agreed locations. A player who proposes a round is responsible for confirming the location and providing the game equipment unless the table agrees otherwise.
Fall Rally standings and prizes
The total value of the Fall 2026 prizes is $1,500.
Scores, standings, eligibility and awards are determined under the season rules provided to registered players. Each Rally week runs Monday through Sunday, Central time. Players may complete multiple rounds, but only their best qualifying round score each week counts toward the season standings. A round score is the combined total of all games played in that qualifying round.
Your best six weekly scores from the seven-week season make up your season total. If you play all seven weeks, your lowest weekly score is dropped. A missed week can be your dropped week; if you miss more than one week, you will have fewer than six weekly scores to contribute. Extra rounds in another week cannot replace a missed week's score. The awards and prizes are:
- Rally Champion: Highest season score. Wins tiles ($400+ value), a mat ($90+ value), and racks ($110 value).
- Second Place: Wins a travel set ($350 value).
- Third Place: Wins a mat ($90 value).
- Social Butterfly: Play with the most different registered players across all completed qualifying rounds, including extra rounds. Wins a set of 4 magnetic racks ($110 value).
- Steady Hand: Highest average score. Minimum of 6 qualifying rounds. Wins a mat ($90 value) and an insulated cup ($50 value).
- Mystery Special Award: A special award is still under wraps. Category and prize to be announced.
Every winner also receives a trophy. Players may win more than one award. Winners will be announced December 9, 2026.
Social Butterfly and Steady Hand include all completed qualifying rounds, including extra rounds and rounds from your dropped week. The six-round minimum for Steady Hand does not require play in six different weeks.
Ties for any award are broken by higher average round score, then higher single-round score, and if still tied the placing is shared.
