San Diego, November 28, 2006 ... Traditionally, the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah is celebrated by playing games like "Spin the Dreidel". But this year, MahjongTime.com is adding a new kind of spin, hosting the first ever online Hanukkah Mahjong Tournament, with cash prizes for the winners.
The competition starts on December 16, at 5:00 PM, US Eastern Standard Time, and runs for the remaining span of Hanukkah itself. The four players left at the Final Table on December 23 will win cash prizes up to $2,000.
The Tournament is open to people of all faiths, all over the world. Game registration is free of charge to all MahjongTime.com subscribers. (For general subscription, gift-subscription and registration information, go to www.MahjongTime.com.)
A commemorative 2006 Hanukkah Mahjong tile will be given to every registered player. MahjongTime will also grant an automated mahjong table to the community center that has the most participants registered in the Tournament.
Mahjongtime.com, the world's largest online mahjong community, is coming fresh off the huge success of their World Online Mahjong Championship in October, where players competed in both the Hong Kong Rules and Chinese Official Rules versions of the game. As a departure, the Hanukkah Mahjong Tournament will play by American Rules, the version that the American Jewish community has made widely popular since the 1920s.
William Sutjiadi, founder and CEO of MahjongTime commented, "We are thrilled to introduce the American Rules variety to our subscribers in honor of Hanukkah, and we are so pleased to have Rabbi Shlomo Schwartz of Los Angeles, California, to help kick off our competition with his holiday blessings."
The competition officially begins December 16 at 5:00 PM, US EST, and the winners will be announced December 23 at 5:00 PM, US EST. Go to www.MahjongTime.com and click on the Hanukkah Tournament button to register and get complete game rules and details. No downloads are required.
