Gather your friends for an unforgettable afternoon of Mahjong, laughter, delicious lunch, signature cocktails, and a little sparkle! Whether you're an experienced Mahjong player ready for friendly competition or someone who's always wanted to learn, there's a seat at the table for you.

Know Mahjong? Come compete. New to Mahjong? Come learn. Everyone gets a tiara! 👑 One player will earn the Championship Tiara. And everyone helps change a student's future.

A MAHJONG EXPERIENCE UNLIKE ANY OTHER
Mahjong players know there are plenty of tournaments. Tiles & Tiaras is something different. We've combined the strategy you love with an elegant cocktail party, beautiful venue, delicious lunch, signature cocktails, and a brand-new tradition designed to become one of Central Florida's most anticipated Mahjong events.

Whether you come with your regular table or meet new friends throughout the afternoon, you'll experience an afternoon that's equal parts Mahjong, celebration, friendship, and community. This is Year One. Years from now, you'll be able to say, “I was there from the very beginning.”

🀄 NEVER PLAYED MAHJONG? YOU'RE INVITED, TOO!
Learn & Play — No Experience Necessary!

Always wanted to learn Mahjong but never knew where to start? This is your invitation. At Tiles & Tiaras, we're setting aside special Learn & Play tables just for beginners and those who are still learning.

Our friendly Mahjong instructors will introduce you to the game, explain the basics, and guide you through play. You'll have opportunities to learn before and during the event, so you can relax, ask questions, and discover what makes Mahjong so much fun.

No experience necessary. No intimidating competition. Just a welcoming afternoon of learning, laughter, new friendships, and a little royal treatment. You'll enjoy the same event experience as our tournament players—including lunch, a signature cocktail or mocktail, and your very own tiara. Who knows? You might discover your new favorite game!

• 👑 Your own commemorative tiara to wear throughout the event
• 🀄 Your choice of competitive tournament play or guided Learn & Play instruction
• 🥗 Delicious lunch

💎 JOIN THE QUEEN'S COURT — VIP EXPERIENCE
Some occasions deserve a little extra sparkle. Make your inaugural Tiles & Tiaras experience even more memorable with our exclusive Queen's Court VIP Upgrade.

Enjoy preferred seating, early VIP check-in, welcome bubbly, an additional drink, an exclusive VIP welcome gift, premium dessert, and a professional portrait at our event photo backdrop. You'll also be recognized as a Founding Member of the Queen's Court, a special distinction reserved for our very first year.

Only 25 VIP upgrades available. VIP Upgrade: $49.95 per person. Available to both Tournament Players and Learn & Play participants. Regular registration is required.

THE CROWNING CEREMONY
At the conclusion of the tournament, everyone gathers for our newest tradition: The Crowning Ceremony.

The tournament champion will be crowned with the Championship Tiara during a special ceremony celebrating skill, sportsmanship, and community. Rather than taking home another trophy that sits on a shelf, the champion becomes part of the living history of Tiles & Tiaras.

The Championship Tiara remains with the winner for one year before being returned to crown the next champion at the following year's event during The Passing of the Championship Tiara. Every year adds another name to the legacy.
