# Conflicting definitions. [[Tanyao]] requires the hand contains no honor tiles, but [[yakuhai]] requires a triplet of honor tiles, so the two cannot be combined.

# When a yaku always implies another yaku, they cannot score together. For instance, a [[junchan]] hand has a terminal in every group. Chanta requires that the hand has a terminal or honor in every group. Because every junchan hand would also qualify for chanta, chanta is not scored.

:There are two partial exceptions to this rule:
:*[[Shousangen]] always implies two dragon yakuhai, but does not guarantee you have any one of "haku", "hatsu", or "chun".
:*[[Ippatsu]] must be scored with a hand that declares [[riichi]]. However, "riichi" and "[[double riichi]]" are considered as 2 distinct yaku. Therefore, an ippatsu hand does not guarantee "riichi", since it could also be "double riichi".


When two yaku imply each other, as with reason #2, there are two alternate ways to define it in the rules:
When two yaku imply each other, as with reason #2, there are two alternate ways to define it in the rules:
*"Alter the yaku definitions so that they can never be scored together". Make it so that chanta is scored when there are honors/terminals in each group, and the hand ''must'' contain at least one honor tile.
*"Alter the yaku definitions so that they can never be scored together". In these rules, chanta is scored when there are honors/terminals in each group, and in addition, the hand ''must'' contain at least one honor tile.
*"Yaku that imply each other cannot be scored". Make it so that chanta is scored when there are honor/terminals in each group (not requiring an honor tile). However, chanta and junchan are never scored together.
*"Yaku that imply each other cannot be scored". In these rules, chanta is scored when there are honor/terminals in each group (not requiring an honor tile). However, chanta and junchan are never scored together. Junchan is worth more, so it supersedes chanta.


Most of these combinations, with the exception of toitoi + mentsumo, are based on the assumption that the yaku are defined using the second method.
Both definitions are equivalent for any practical case. Most of these combinations, with the exception of toitoi + mentsumo, are based on the assumption that the yaku are defined using the second method.

Even different yakuman may be combined. As a result, point values may increase beyond single yakuman values as multiples of yakuman.  Of course, that's only if the rules allow extension into double yakuman and beyond.  Combinations involving three kinds of yakuman involve either tsuuiisou, tenhou, or chiihou. With this in mind, the options for combining different yakuman are limited.
Yakuman may not combine with regular yaku. However, in certain rulesets, different yakuman can combine with each other. As a result, hands can score multiple yakuman.
 
The maximum number of distinct yakuman a hand can have is four: [[suuankou]], [[tsuuiisou]], [[daisuushii]], and one of [[tenhou]]/[[chiihou]]/[[suukantsu]]. In rulesets where suuankou tanki and daiisuushi are scored as double, the hand ends up with a sextuple (x6) yakuman.
