Table Grouping & Registration Notice

Because Mahjong is played in fixed groups of four, complete tables are required for game setup and optimal instruction.

• Enrollment Review: Roster numbers will be reviewed prior to the start of class to ensure participants are evenly grouped into tables of four.
• First-Come, First-Served Adjustments: If final enrollment does not divide evenly into groups of four, final spots will be confirmed based on the order of registration.
• Waitlist & Refunds: Any registrants who cannot be paired into a full table of four will be placed on a priority waitlist for the next session or issued a refund/credit.
