  • Sudden death in East Round only goes until South Round ends, in hanchan only goes until West Round ends.

「嶺上ツモも2符加算」
「2飜縛りなし/常に1飜縛り」
  • Abortive draws (Nine terminals abortion, four riichi calls, three ron calls, four kans (separate), four same wind discards) allowed. All count as renchan.
「途中流局(九種九牌/四家立直/三家和了/四槓散了/四風連打)あり。すべて連荘」
  • Nine terminals abortive draw requires 9 or more different terminals, on the first turn before any pon, kan, chii calls or ankan formed.

  • Double rons occuring with the dealer winning are counted as renchan.
「ダブロンは親が含まれれば連荘」

  • Keishiki tenpai ari. Your tenpai may include a wait for a "5th tile" (however, this does not include the case when the 4 available tiles for said wait are included in your hand).
「形式聴牌あり。5枚目を待つ聴牌あり(打牌選択可能な手牌で4枚使用している牌を除く)。」
  • You need at least 1000 points and a next turn to pick (4 or more tiles in the wall) to declare riichi.
「リーチ宣言は得点が1000点以上でツモ巡がある場合に可能」
  • If the tile that was used to declare riichi is won off, no deposit is given out.
「リーチ宣言牌で放銃した場合は供託料は発生しない」
  • Furiten riichi allowed.
「振聴リーチあり」
  • After riichi, letting a winning tile pass makes the hand furiten.
「リーチ後の当たり牌見逃しは以降振聴」

  • When a call is made, normal turn order is interrupted after a possible ron declaration (in case of kakan) but before a replacement tile draw. (In case of consecutive kan, ron on the second kakan does not award ippatsu.)
「純正巡消しは発声&和了打診後(加槓のみ)、嶺上ツモの前(連続する加槓の2回目には一発は付かない)」
  • In the same turn, sniping for ron (aiming for a player who discarded in second) is not allowed. This includes extended kan tiles.
「同一巡内の選択ロン和了なし(加槓牌を含む)」
  • Same-round furiten removal is at discarding a tile, claiming a tile in the reverse order does not remove it.
