Thankfully, the points arrange themselves into particular patterns. | Thankfully, the points arrange themselves into particular patterns. In general, an increase of 1-han effectively doubles the point values for hands. The doubling may be exact for some patterns and approximate for others. Usually, the difference is about 100 points or so. | ||

Points for tsumo total exactly or closely to that of the ron values. When a non-dealer wins by tsumo, then the dealer pays about half the total points. The other half is split among the other two non-dealers equally. For some ron values, the total is easily divisible by 4; where non-dealers each pay exactly half of what the dealer pays. However, some values do not. | Points for tsumo total exactly or closely to that of the ron values. When a non-dealer wins by tsumo, then the dealer pays about half the total points.

For example, 4 han and 30 fu is 11600 and 7700 for dealer ron and non-dealer ron respectively. The tsumo points are 3900 from each player for the dealer. Here, the dealer earns 11700 points total from all players. That's a difference of 100 points from the ron value. For non-dealers, 2000 points come from the non-dealers, while the dealer pays 3900. In total, this amounts to 7900 points. That's a 200 point difference from its corresponding ron value. | |||
In essence, the total of the tsumo values are either the exact amount of the ron values; or they are within a difference of 100-200 points. | |||
