Many of tricks involve the ''sleight of hand''. The most skilled cheaters have the ability to perform these tricks with minimal detection, if any. | ||
Tournament judges might decide on an even more severe punishment than chombo or disqualify the cheater. | Tournament judges might decide on an even more severe punishment than chombo or disqualify the cheater. | ||

=== Invalid call === | === Invalid call === | ||
Making an invalid call may be subjected to chombo. Showing the incorrect tiles for a certain call can be easily corrected if the player can still make a meld with that call, but if a call was made and the resulting meld is illegal, then chombo applies. | Making an invalid call may be subjected to chombo.

=== Noten riichi === | === Noten riichi === | ||
Technically, players may declare riichi at any time. However, it is only legal with a [[tenpai]] hand. Declaring riichi with a noten hand is not detected by the other players immediately. It may go unpunished if another player wins the hand, another player commits a chombo, or on an [[abortive draw]] occurs. When the game enters [[ryuukyoku]], or when an incorrect ron is made, the noten riichi is revealed and chombo applied. Of course, if a spectator notices the noten riichi, the penalty would also apply. | Technically, players may declare riichi at any time. However, it is only legal with a [[tenpai]] hand.

Lesser infractions are penalized by [[agari houki]], or a "dead hand". In this case, players are no longer allowed to make [[naki|tile calls]] or win. Violation of the dead hand results in chombo, though. | Lesser infractions are penalized by [[agari houki]], or a "dead hand".

=== Wall destruction === | === Wall destruction === | ||
A player may not crash and destroy the wall, such that the tile arrangement cannot be recovered. This is by far one of the worst infractions, as the act ruins the game completely. The intentional act of destroying the wall may be considered to be extremely rude and renders an otherwise enjoyable game into a confrontational one. Here, a player may not just incur a penalty but also be ejected. | A player may not crash and destroy the wall, such that the tile arrangement cannot be recovered.

A number of other instances may be included as penalties. These adjustments may differ from setting to setting, as hosts have the discretion to declare certain actions worthy of chombo penalties or less. | A number of other instances may be included as penalties.
