  Adopt multi-round integration system

  The reporter of Beijing Youth Daily contacted Lu Xing, director of the Mahjong Competition Training Center of Hangzhou Branch of China Chess Institute. He introduced that Sichuan Mahjong and National Mahjong are official mahjong competitions recognized by the International Mahjong Union, with very mature competition rules and a large number of penalty cases, which are the best choices for holding competitions at this stage. The national standard mahjong has many types, many changes and great difficulties, while Sichuan mahjong has a good mass base and is the mahjong project with the most fans in the world.

  Lu Xing said that the first China Mahjong Open will be conducted by multiple rounds of points system. In this way, the factor of luck can be minimized as much as possible.

  According to the regulations of the competition, if a player participates in this competition, he/she must first register as a mahjong player in the relevant WeChat applet, and obtain 6 amateur segments online according to the guidance before he/she is eligible to sign up for the "Professional Segment Finalization Competition" held in Beijing, Chengdu and Hangzhou in March. Only after promotion can you qualify for the "China Mahjong Open". Lu Xing said that the stage system of mahjong basically refers to the stage system of Go, and players can achieve promotion by competing with other players in the same stage.

  Lu Xing said that after the Open, the game will be broadcast to the public through live broadcast, and the public can learn more about it by paying attention to the related WeChat WeChat official account of Hangzhou Branch of China Chess Institute.

  A netizen who participated in the online examination of the segment mentioned by Hangzhou Branch of Chinese Chess Institute told Beiqing Daily that it was less difficult to become an amateur segment at first. "When you answer some questions online for a while, you can become an amateur segment by reaching the standard. From the second stage, it will be carried out by means of mahjong competition. Generally, it will be played for more than ten rounds first, and then the points will be calculated to decide whether to upgrade. It is not easy to upgrade. "

  Champion experience

  The most important thing is psychological quality.

  Xie Jin, from Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province, has participated in the national mahjong competition many times before. He said that he is planning to participate in the China Mahjong Open to be held in Hangzhou. Xie Qin introduced that compared with other types of mahjong, the national standard mahjong pays great attention to the card type. "For example, there is a fixed score for all colors, and there is another score for Menqing. In the end, you will calculate how many points your card type is worth, similar to the scoring competition."

  Wang Xiangnong, who won the national mahjong championship at the World Mahjong Games, also told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that he was still a little nervous when he first participated in the mahjong competition. "Sometimes I have to improvise, but it has been 17 years since I played in 2005. I am used to it. I think the most important thing in the competition is psychological quality, which is the same for both mahjong players and athletes in other sports. "

  "China is the birthplace of mahjong, but in contrast, Chinese mahjong is a bit green and yellow." Wang Xiangnong said that the participants of some mahjong sports associations are basically old people in their sixties and seventies, and their relatively young strength is limited. Xie Qin also admitted that although China began to promote mahjong very early, many young people were not used to it because of the points rules of national mahjong. "This promotion of mahjong competition through the Internet may attract more young people."

  Respond to questions

  The first premise of mahjong is not gambling.

  In response to the concern of some netizens about whether the spread of mahjong will lead to gambling, Wang Xiangnong said that the first premise of mahjong is not to gamble, not to stay up late, and to be healthy. "The competition uses a score table to calculate who wins and who loses. We promote Chinese mahjong and remind everyone to resist gambling."

  Wang Xiangnong said that many people will link mahjong with gambling. "But in fact, it is not mahjong but people who gamble. If you want to gamble, you can gamble with playing cards or anything. The key to gambling is people’s moral character, and you should not blame mahjong. "

  For example, Wang Xiangnong said that for gamblers, mahjong is a must to "draw cards" and win money, but for mahjong players, it is necessary to calculate how actions are more beneficial to them, and sometimes even deliberately put others "draw cards", which can guarantee their scores. "This is the difference between sports and gambling. Whether mahjong or any other sport, excluding the interests of money is a healthy sport." Text/reporter Qu Chang Intern Yang Tongyu
