The fine print.
Last updated: 2026-05-13
These terms are in draft. The headings below are the intended structure; full language is being prepared. For questions in the meantime, use the contact form.
1. Eligibility
Sparrow Scramble is open to adults (18+) who play the National Mah Jongg League card. Registration requires a Sparrow Scramble account and payment of the season fee. The league reserves the right to decline or remove registrations at its discretion in cases of conduct that affects other players' experience.
2. Season registration and fees
Season fees are listed on the city landing page and at registration checkout. Fees are billed once per season and grant access to all league features for that season. Refund eligibility is described in section 3.
3. Refunds and cancellations
Full refund policy is in preparation. Pre-launch position: refund requests made before the season's first match are honored in full; requests after that point are evaluated case by case. Contact the organizer for specifics.
4. Conduct
Players are expected to treat each other, the organizer, and venue hosts with courtesy. The Scramble is a social league as much as a competitive one — disruptive, disrespectful, or unsafe behavior is grounds for removal without refund. Match locations are often homes; act like a good guest.
5. Match commitments
Joining a match is a commitment to show up and play. Last-minute cancellations after a match has locked harm the other three players. Repeated no-shows or late cancellations may result in temporary suspension from joining matches for the remainder of the season.
6. Scoring and disputes
Scores are submitted through the portal and become part of the season leaderboards. Score corrections are handled by the organizer; there is no player-side dispute UI in v1. Players who believe a score has been recorded incorrectly should contact the organizer with the match details.
7. Liability
The Scramble organizes the league and facilitates match scheduling; it does not provide venues, transportation, or insurance. Players attend matches at their own risk. Sparrow Scramble and Jade Sparrow LLC disclaim liability for incidents that occur at or in connection with matches.
8. Changes to these terms
These terms may be updated as the league evolves. Material changes will be communicated to registered players by email. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
