Kugler literally taught hundreds of interested men and women the game\u00a0 and was featured as an instructor at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival&#8217;s cultural tent. It was Kugler who instituted and directed the JCC&#8217;s annual Crescent City Mah Johngg Tournament, which ran for four years before her passing.<\/p>\n<p>Players for the summer tournament must register in advance by calling JCC adult classes director Meryl Rosenbloom and advising they will be participating. The cost is $35.00 per individual player and $50.00 for tournament flower patrons, who receive recognition in the program and a chance at a patron prize drawing. An online form is available on the JCC site <a title=\"Mah Johngg Tournament Registration\" href=\"http:\/\/nojcc.org\/pdfs\/Family&amp;Community\/2012_Summer_MahJonggTournamentFlyeransRegistration.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>, but it must be mailed in or brought into the JCC at check in between 9:15 and 9:45 a.m. Entry fees can be paid over the phone with a valid credit card between now and prior to the day of the tournament. All players must be familiar with the 2012 card and the rules for the national Mah Johngg league. Rosenbloom will provide cards for those that have not received them or who accidentally leave them at home.<\/p>\n<p>Rosenbloom needs an exact head count for participants not only to set up the games, but because the entry fee includes a catered lunch, snacks and a coffee, tea and juice bar. Cash prizes will be awarded to the first, second and third place finishers.<\/p>\n<p>In addition Rosenbloom will be offering a number of Mah Johngg boutique items that are being brought in through the Internet site <a title=\"Mah Johngg Boutique\" href=\"http:\/\/wherethewindsblow.com\" target=\"_blank\">wherethewindsblow.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1325\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/MahJohngg_winter2012.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1325\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1325 lazyload\" title=\"JCC Winter 2012 Mah Johngg Tournament\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/MahJohngg_winter2012-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/MahJohngg_winter2012-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/MahJohngg_winter2012.jpg 588w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/200;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1325\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1325\" title=\"JCC Winter 2012 Mah Johngg Tournament\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/MahJohngg_winter2012-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/MahJohngg_winter2012-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/MahJohngg_winter2012.jpg 588w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1325\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mah Johngg Winter Tournament in January (Photo courtesy New Orleans JCC)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll have tile pushers to push the tiles and I&#8217;ll have cases for carrying your tiles,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I&#8217;ll also have Mah Johngg sets.
