:: Mahjong SuperCup 2008 ::

adapted from sistic website...

The first SuperCup Mahjong Competition in Taiwan had attracted 15372 participants, and was awarded by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s largest mahjong tournament. The 2,000 competitors played in 500 tables in the first match had also broken the record for the highest number of mahjong tables in a single match. The Competition had led the trend of mahjong playing in the world and helped present Taiwan mahjong on the global stage. These glorious achievements will be the foundation of the SuperCup in organizing global chess and card competitions.

Now, the Mahjong SuperCup 2008 Competition will begin in Taiwan, Mainland China, Japan, Singapore, U.S. and Canada, etc. We invite you to join us in our making of a new page in the Guinness Book of Records!
