@HikariTaiyo_ch Taking issue with the NMJL annual card system is fine too but NMJL is also a nonprofit group. It's basically just there to fundraise different women's and/or jewish charities and be a central body for a historically inconsistent game in the US.
The for profit companies though...
@HikariTaiyo_ch Has less to do with the ruleset and more with these random corporate entities trying to capitalize on a niche.
If riichi was as big as AMJ here the same thing would be happening.
