Masterminds: A Mah Jongg Minds League
Serious about the rules. Not serious about ourselves.
Masterminds is our structured, spirited Mah Jongg league in St. Louis for players who know the NMJL rules and are ready for fun, competitive play in a welcoming environment.
Think friendly competition, weekly bragging rights, and a little extra focus at the table.
How the Season Works
The season includes four regular-season scoring weeks followed by a separate Championship Night.
Each week:
• We play three official scoring games
• If time allows, additional games may be played for fun
• Your best three of four weekly scores count toward standings
• And yes — there will be prizes.
At the end of Week 4, the top four players advance to the Final Table on Championship Night.
Final Table: Three official games. Clean slate. Highest total score wins.
Come ready to play. Leave sharper.
Yes, it gets this exciting
