Scoring table: Difference between revisions

The '''[[scoring]] table''' is generated by calculating the point values of each [[han]] and [[fu]] combination. With known han and fu values, the appropriate point values can be read straight off the table. [[Score table memoriztion|Memorizing]] the score table, or at least knowing the common values, can help decision making.

'''Mangan''' {{kana|満貫}} is a point cap which limits the impact of han and fu. Worth 8000 points in total, mangan is reached with 3 han and 70 fu, 4 han and 40 fu, or 5 han. Once a hand reaches mangan, increasing fu will no longer affect scoring.

Below mangan, each han roughly doubles the hand's score. Increasing han past mangan still increases the hand's score, but no longer doubles it. Instead, the scores increase in set amounts. These values, like mangan, have their own names:

* '''Haneman''' {{kana|跳満}} = 50% more than mangan (x1.5)

'''Kiriage mangan''' {{kana|切り上げ満貫}}, or "rounded up mangan", is a [[Scoring_variations#Kiriage_mangan|scoring variation]]. When kiriage mangan is enabled, a 4 han and 30 fu, as well as a 3 han 60 hand, are considered mangan. The difference between a regular 4 han 30 fu hand (7600-7900) and mangan is not very large, so these values are rounded up for convivence.

 

Kiriage mangan is reasonably common in real life play, though most computer clients do not use kiriage mangan.
