WRC 2020 - Austria - postponed
- Details
Dear Board, It is with great regret that I am writing to inform you that the World Riichi Championship 2020 has had to be postponed. This has not been an easy decision to come to and we are well aware that some players will have made arrangements, including travel and holiday time, to attend the event. By the time the pandemic was announced, we were already so close to the event that we did not want to act in haste. However, as the days went by, it became clear that not only would proceeding be difficult but also perhaps impossible.
