# Conflicting definitions. [[Tanyao]] requires the hand contains no honor tiles, but [[yakuhai]] requires a triplet of honor tiles, so the two cannot be combined.

# When a yaku always implies another yaku, they cannot score together. For instance, a [[junchan]] hand has a terminal in every group. [[Chanta]] requires that the hand has a terminal or honor in every group. Because every junchan hand would also qualify for chanta, chanta is not scored.

:There are two partial exceptions to this rule:
:*[[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".


When two yaku imply each other, as with reason #2, there are two alternate ways to define it in the rules:

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.
