Are there any other jurisdictions that also make the regulations and rules of play available like this?

The house Strategy for dealer hands is as follows:
a) Never split two pairs.
b) Where the hand has one pair, this will usually be played as the
high hand with the two remaining tiles forming the low hand.
However, the following exceptions apply:
i) Only split Gee Joon (3,6) when the third tile is a 6 and the
fourth tile is a 4, 5 or 6.
ii) The house will split a pair of 12's or 2's anytime the
resulting hands total 6 and 8 or higher.
iii) Split a pair of 7's when the other two tiles are any two of
10, 2, 11 or 12.
iv) Split 8's with any two of 10, 2, 11 or 12, or, when the
other two tiles are a 9 and 11.
v) Split 9's with any two of 10, 2, 12.
c) Never split 4's, 5's, 6's, 10's and 11's.
d) Next, look for a Wong, Gong or High Nine, where the hand
contains both a 12 and a 2, plus two of 7, 8 or 9, set the 2 in the
high hand and the 12 in the low hand. If the hand contains
only one of either the 12 or the 2, place the 12 or two in the
high hand.
e) If the hand contains none of the above, use the following
guidelines for setting the hand:
i) Use the Cheung, or high 6, as the breaking point for
determining high/low tiles.
ii) If the high hand is less than 7, play the hands as close
together as possible.
iii) If the hands total 7 - 9 or less, play the highest ranking tile
on the low hand. If the hands total 8 - 9 or higher, play
the highest tanking tile on the high hand.
iv) When setting poor hands, make 8 the cut-off point
before giving up the front hand. For example, play 1 - 6
or 2 - 5 instead of 0 - 7, or play 1 - 4 or 2 - 3 before 0 - 5,
etc. However, play 0 - 8 before 1 - 7, 2 - 6 or 3 - 5, and
play 0 - 9 instead of 1 - 8 or 2 - 7, etc.
v) With a 7, 11, white 10 and red 8, play 7 - 9. However, if
there is no red 8 or white 10, play 8 - 8.
vi) With a 2 or 12, white 6, 5 and Gee (3 or 6), play 7 - 9.
vii) With any 10, 6, 5 and Gee (3 or 6), play 5 - 9.
viii) Other than listed exceptions above, match the biggest
and the smallest tiles, in point total, then use the other
two tiles for the second hand.

That is the shortest house way for tiles I've ever seen, which I applaud.
