The ruleset and scoring are completely different from riichi mahjong. Unlike riichi, offense is heavily preferred, and many defensive strats are no longer useful (some even punished with a heavy penalty). | ||

To restate, a tsumo win is equal to a ron against every current player, with an extra 1,000 points/player. Therefore, tsumo is worth much more than ron, assuming there is more than 1 opponent in play. Also, there is no score bonus for being the dealer. | |||

SBR is much more offensive than riichi mahjong. With such high noten penalties, it is always recommended to try to keep tenpai / advance towards tenpai. If you give up going for tenpai, you'll just have to pay it back at the exhaustive draw. Trying to hold a tile from the excluded suit is especially risky and almost never recommended. Due to these penalties, the lack of [[furiten]], and lack of riichi calls, traditional defense is much weaker. | SBR is much more offensive than riichi mahjong.

There is no score penalty towards opening your hand. Therefore, triplets are more powerful, and [[shanpon]] waits become more common (remember that chii is disabled). Triplets also get the benefit of enabling kan, which increases score through both kan payments and root. | There is no score penalty towards opening your hand.

A hand using sequences rarely scores yaku. The only yaku that allow sequences are chinitsu, junchan, root, and the other bonus yaku. Still, keeping sequences will let your hand develop faster, thus allowing you to escape payment from others. Plus, even a yakuless tsumo is worth 6000 points if nobody has won yet. | A hand using sequences rarely scores yaku.
