 *When the dealer goes out by ron, the discarding player pays the winner 6 × basic points.
-Each value to be paid is rounded up to the nearest 100. Because of how this rounding works, a tsumo win may result in a few hundred more points than a ron of the same value. (For example, a 1 han 30 fu hand scores 240 basic points. Without rounding, a ron would score 960 points, and a tsumo would also score 240+240+480 = 960 points. As each individual player's payment is rounded, ron scores 1000, and tsumo scores 300+300+500 = 1100, or 100 more than ron.)
+Each value to be paid is rounded up to the nearest 100. Because of how this rounding works, the totals for tsumo and ron do not always match.

 To explain this in different terms: when hand wins by ron, the ronned player pays 100% of the hand's value. When a hand wins by tsumo, each player splits the payment evenly (with the dealer paying double).
