The '''oka''' {{kana|オカ}} is the point difference between the start score and the target score; and then it is multiplied by the number of players. In general, this can be viewed as the "ante". Typically, the start score and target score are 25,000 pts and 30,000 pts respectively. So, in this case the oka is 5,000 x 4. At the end of the game, the oka is awarded to the winning player. | The '''oka''' {{kana|オカ}} is the point difference between the start score and the target score; and then it is multiplied by the number of players.

The typical point spread uses the format of {{uma|+A|+B|-B|-A}}, where A > B. Of course, the point spread does not necessarily have to follow that pattern, by which the spread does not need to be symmetric. In general, the point spread can be set to any value as long as the four numbers add up to zero. Point modifications may be used either to ease the conditions or increase the difficulty, particularly for tournament settings. | ||
