'''Chombo''' {{kana|冲合}} is a penalty for heavy rule violations. Some moves may be considered [[dead hand|minor and correctable]], like accidentally drawing the wrong tile from the wall. Rule violations subject to chombo are harsh enough to abort the hand and impose a point loss on the offender. | '''Chombo''' {{kana|冲合}} is a penalty for heavy rule violations.

A player penalized with chombo must pay a specified point penalty, depending on the setting. The most common is a [[mangan|mangan-sized]] penalty. To each other player, the offender must pay what the offender would have received on a mangan tsumo without [[honba]]. In other words, the offender pays a "reverse mangan tsumo". An offending dealer must pay 4,000 to everyone, and offending non-dealers must pay 2,000 to each non-dealer and 4,000 to the dealer. | A player penalized with chombo must pay a specified point penalty, depending on the setting.

In some instances, the points specified may directly affect the [[uma]], or the +/- end scores. As a time saver, chombo penalties may be applied post-game, especially when a time limit is imposed. Casual settings may simply ignore and bypass chombo altogether. | ||
In all instances of chombo, the current hand is then aborted and repeated. Players who have declared [[riichi]] during the aborted hand get their riichi bet back. Most rules leave the [[honba]] count unchanged for the repeat, while some rules may handle this like any other [[abortive draw]]. | In all instances of chombo, the current hand is then aborted and repeated.

Cheating is very possible in the game. | Cheating is very possible in the game. In fact, some players can execute various and elaborate cheating tricks. Some tricks involve "wall rigging" by deliberately placing tiles along certain positions on the wall. Other tricks involving tile switching from any part of the wall or even from the discard pile. Many of tricks involve the ''sleight of hand''. The most skilled cheaters have the ability to perform these tricks with minimal detection, if any. | ||
Tournament judges might decide on an even more severe punishment than chombo or disqualify the cheater. | Tournament judges might decide on an even more severe punishment than chombo or disqualify the cheater. | ||
