This occurs when more than one player is waiting on the same tile, and that tile is discarded. This event is called a '''double ron''' or even '''triple ron'''. Some rules allow double ron but not triple ron. Some rules allow triple ron. Other rulesets apply the head bump rule ([[atamahane]]) - only one player wins the hand. When atamahane is used, the player closest in turn order to the next player claims the win. | ||

Chombo are often awarded when a player does something that would prevent the game from continuing normally, e.g. knocking off an entire wall of tiles. In these cases, the hand restarts. Chombo may also be awarded after a hand ends, e.g. for an illegal [[riichi]]. | ||

Often, the chombo penalty is done after the game ends, in order to not waste time. | In the event of chombo, the player must pay out a penalty of points, usually [[mangan]].

A game is organized into rounds, which are named after winds. Each wind round, every player gets a chance to be a dealer. For example, East 1 means it is the first round, and the first player's dealer turn. East 2 means it is the first round, and the second player's dealer turn. This continues until East 4, then the game continues to South 1. | A game is organized into rounds, which are named after winds. Each wind round, every player gets a chance to be a dealer.

When a dealer wins the round, the game repeats and one [[honba]] is added. So a game at East 1, 4 honba means the dealer won four times in a row. In many rulesets, the dealer also gets to keep the seat if in [[tenpai]] (and no one won the round). | |||
