The WRC Rulebook is just one variation of guidelines and rules commonly used for riichi mahjong competitions worldwide.

It is used as the basis for this event's heavily modified ruleset. Using this rulebook simplifies the resolution of any potential disagreements or penalties, even though we will be much more lenient than described in the rulebook when it comes to these kinds of things.

Not really, if you are used to the rules from games like Mahjong Soul or Riichi City you are already 90% there.
