Score table memorization: Difference between revisions

Despite the size of the [[Scoring#Scoring_table|scoring table]], it is possible to memorize the table, in a manner similar to memorizing a multiplication table.  However, any attempt to learn the scoring table is fruitless without knowing particular prerequisites, like [[Naki|basic game procedures]] and the [[yaku]] with their han values.  As a recommendation, scoring is among the last of the more basic concepts of the game for any newer player to learn.

The scoring table can be subdivided into sections.  Once a section of the scoring table is learned, then a player can move on to the next section and memorize that one.  It is an ongoing process, until the entire table is learned.  As it turns out, some sections share similar point values as other sections.

| '''Mangan''' || 12000 || 4000 || 8000 || 4000/2000

| '''Haneman''' || 18000 || 6000 || 12000 || 6000/3000

| '''Baiman''' || 24000 || 8000 || 16000 || 8000/4000

| '''Sanbaiman''' || 36000 || 12000 || 24000 || 12000/6000

| '''Yakuman''' || 48000 || 16000 || 32000 || 16000/8000

To count fu, a player must understand how fu is generated.  In essence, fu comes from the hand's composition and winning method.  Yaku has no bearing on the fu count, aside from required tile compositions of specific yaku.
