By proxy, this means that when a hand gains +1 han with the same fu, it roughly doubles in point value. Due to rounding, a hand may not ''exactly'' double in value, but it is often very close to double.

==Memorizing common values==
Due to the size of the scoring table, it is important to know the most common values first. Knowing the (1-4 han) + (20, 25, 30, 40) fu hands, as well as mangan+ hands, are the most important.

===30 and 40 fu===
30 and 40 fu are the most common point values, so it is logical to start here. The smallest possible hand is 1 han 30 fu from ron, which is worth 1000 points.

==Equivalent point values==
As mentioned above, adding one han is equivalent to doubling the hand's fu. This rule makes it easier memorize, say, 20 fu, if you already know the 40 fu values.

===20 fu and 40 fu===
Only hands with [[pinfu]] + [[menzen tsumo]] can score 20 fu. Pinfu with ron is worth 30 fu (+10 from closed ron). From the 40 fu values, you can add 1 han and divide fu by 2 to reach the 20 fu values. Therefore, you can memorize the 20 fu values by memorizing the 40 fu values.
