I don't think NMJL minds at all because USPML is playing Japanese Riichi style, not the American card. Think of it like the NFL/CFL - same football, slightly different rules.

I guess I would have had to be there. Which I plan to one day, if I ever get the chance to attend an overseas Mahjong event. That actually sounds like quite a painful day.

An entry which actually praises something. :) I showed one of the USPML folks around Tokyo a few months ago. They're very enthusiastic guys and the one I showed around was surprisingly adept at playing. Yes, their name is unfortunate but hopefully that won't cause too much problems. I don't think NMJL really cares about their existence--although I wouldn't mind if they actually were offended--but even if they did it wouldn't matter because TACOS is right. Wow.

In a few years, it may grow to, say, 100-odd players, and in a few more, perhaps 300 or so. And you will be there on the sidelines, rekindling your contempt dulled with the passage of time, remembering when it was just a bunch of guys with a vaguely offending club name.

If anything, I support their name just for that. Easily 300k++
