A wind tile that matches your seat wind becomes a [[yakuhai]] to you. This means: | |||
* A triplet of your seat wind is worth 1 [[han]]. | |||
* A pair of your seat wind is worth 2 [[fu]]. | |||
If your seat wind is also the [[round wind]], it becomes a double wind. A triplet of a double wind is worth 2 han. A pair of a double wind may be worth [[Scoring_variations#Double_wind_fu|2 or 4 fu]], depending on the ruleset. | |||

The relative positions of each player do not rotate as the winds rotate. This means that the player to your right will always be to your right, no matter which winds you two are. | |||
