The March Session – Open Play + Beginner Track
The March Session marks the beginning of our recurring monthly mahjong gatherings. Structured social play with flexibility built in — designed for connection, not competition.
Your registration reserves your seat for the full March Session: March 3, March 10, March 17, and March 24.
There are three registration options: please read about each and choose your selection.
Beginner Track (101 + March Session)
Designed for players who are brand new or still building confidence.
Includes:
Guided 101 instruction during the first session
Reserved beginner-friendly table placement
Continued access to the remaining March Open Play sessions
Ongoing support as you integrate into regular play
This option allows you to learn, then immediately continue building skill and comfort within a supportive table environment.
Beginner seats are intentionally limited, and you must attend on March 3 to be in this track. This is the only session that is mandatory.
Open Play Series
For returning players or those comfortable referencing the card during play.
Includes:
Reserved seat for all four March sessions
Thoughtfully matched table placement based on play comfort level
Structured, social play without competitive pressure
Consistent attendance enhances the experience, but flexibility is built in.
Full Table Registration (4 Players)
Register as a complete table of four and play together throughout the March Session.
Perfect for friend groups who:
Prefer to learn and grow together
Share a similar play level
Want a consistent social rhythm
Please ensure all players at your table reflect a similar comfort level for the best experience.
Alternate Player List
Can't commit to these dates at this point? Sign up to be an alternate in the event that a session player can't make it.
During registration, you’ll select your current play comfort level. Tables will be thoughtfully seated to ensure a cohesive and enjoyable experience for all players.
As part of our inaugural March Session, each registered player will receive a complimentary HMS Founding Member line finder to mark the beginning of our first Session.
Players of all levels need to bring with or purchase a 2025 National Mah Jongg League card. If you do not yet have a card, you may purchase one while registering Hinsdale Mahjong Society or buy one directly from the National Mah Jongg Society.
Your registration reserves your seat for the full March Session: March 3, March 10, March 17, and March 24.
If life happens (which it does and is understandable!), please provide notice so we may offer your evening seat to someone on the alternate player list. It is okay to miss a session; there is no penalty — this is not that type of group.
Collective Plus members who have been members for 3 or more months or have an annual membership are eligible to receive one make-up credit for a missed week per league session at a future open play (space permitting).
