Mahjong Australia

Mahjong Australia started organising tournaments in early    2008, with the intention of sending a player to participate in the 2008 World Series of Mahjong in Macau. At the time, Mahjong Australia organised nightly mahjong tournaments for residents of Sydney, Australia to come together each night as part of a community-based scheme to bring mahjong to its supporters. Each night Mahjong Australia provided up to $1000 prize money, donated by various clubs around Sydney, which played host to these events.
