Situational analysis: Difference between revisions

When performing '''situational analysis''', a player accounts for important game conditions, namely the [[Ba|game round]] and the current scores.  

In riichi mahjong, your final placement (1st/2nd/etc.) is often important. Due to the [[oka and uma]] systems, you can gain huge bonuses or penalties when changing place. In competitive environments, your placement can be important for gaining rating points. Therefore, players should act differently the conditions change. For example, a player with a huge lead may not want to [[riichi]], but a player far behind may be desperate to riichi.
