Problem
Organizing American Mahjong games and tournaments often requires juggling multiple tools such as group texts, spreadsheets, and payment apps, leading to missed RSVPs, outdated waitlists, and difficulty tracking hands against the NMJL card.

A built‑in discover feature connects users with local clubs, verified teachers, and venues, fostering community growth.
