If you wish to participate but have not started the registration process yet, contact worldmahjong@hotmail.com to formally start registration (deadline: 20th Sep 2026).

The EMA has at least 56 slots for this event and we expect few competition for these slots, therefore everyone who has time and wants to go can do so as the EMA will not set official country quotas.

This list merely serves as a visibility tool for coordination amongst EMA players to find and contact roommates or to organize teams (a single room has an upcharge of 100€). If you already have a full team or have an uncompleted team seeking other players fill in the team name slot accordingly.

Other information regarding schedule, regulation can be viewed in the PDF documents provided.

The organizer has requested each participant to arrive at Kunming Airport at or before 15:00 local time 18th Oct 2026. There will be a shuttle service to the hotel.

This list with player names and teams will be sent to the WMO after registration deadline.
