When two yaku imply each other, as with reason #2, there are two alternate ways to define it in the rules:
*"Alter the yaku definitions so that they can never be scored together". In these rules, chanta is scored when there are honors/terminals in each group, and in addition, the hand ''must'' contain at least one honor tile.
*"Alter the yaku definitions so that they can never be scored together". In these rules, chanta is scored when there are honors/terminals in each group, and in addition, the hand ''must'' contain at least one honor tile.
*"Yaku that imply each other cannot be scored". In these rules, chanta is scored when there are honor/terminals in each group (not requiring an honor tile). However, chanta and junchan are never scored together.
*"Yaku that imply each other cannot be scored". In these rules, chanta is scored when there are honor/terminals in each group (not requiring an honor tile). However, chanta and junchan are never scored together. Junchan is worth more, so it supersedes chanta.


Both definitions are equivalent for any practical case. Most of these combinations, with the exception of toitoi + mentsumo, are based on the assumption that the yaku are defined using the second method.

There are two partial exceptions to reason #2.
*[[Shousangen]] always implies two dragon yakuhai, but does not guarantee you have any one of "haku", "hatsu", or "chun".
*[[Ippatsu]] must be scored with a hand that declares [[riichi]]. However, "riichi" and "[[double riichi]]" are considered as 2 distinct yaku. Therefore, an ippatsu hand does not guarantee "riichi", since it could also be "double riichi".
