Europe ヨーロッパのルールとその問題に関して 今日は日本に住んでる雀士のためにこの文章を日本語で書いてあげたいと思います。最後はくだらなくて浅い事だけど、後でもっと大変な問題も出てくるので、最後まで読んでください。 Top 10 Problems 2005年、ヨーロッパの「ＥＭＡ」（ヨーロッパ麻雀アソシエーション）と言う組合が活動を開始しました。基本的に大会やイベント作りなどはこの組合の目的です。その大会に参加したプレーヤーの成績も全部ＥＭＡのサイトで見ることが出来ます。ある意味、長期のリーグみたいなもんです。これ自体はすごいと思うのだが、採用されてるルールに色んな問題が発生いたします。 その１．2005年に戻りましょう、ルール作り上げた時です。最近まで、役表には**「一翻役」（など）の代わりに「一役」**が書いてありました。同様に、三色は「二役」清一色は「６役」
