Depending on the rules, multiple winners are also possible. This event occurs when more than one player is waiting on the same tile(s), and the wins are claimed by discard (''ron''). This event is called a ''double ron'' or even ''triple ron''. Some rules may allow double, but not triple. In this case, the losing player must pay the winning players according to their respective hand values. Likewise, honba applies for both of them as well. Otherwise, some rules may apply the head bump rule, or ''atama''. In this case, only one of the players may claim the win over the other. The former winner may claim the win over the latter, or vice-versa depending on the rules agreed upon. | Depending on the rules, multiple winners are also possible.

Also, known as ''Ryuukyoku'', the hand ends in a draw, after all the tiles from the wall are drawn, except for the 14 in the ''dead wall''. In this case, player(s) ''tenpai'' receive points from those in ''noten''. A hand in ''tenpai'' is one that needs just one more tile, either by draw (''tsumo'') or discard (''ron'') to win. However, that needed tile was never claimed. Nearly 40% of professional games go to an exhaustive draw due to players immediately dropping out of the race when a player declares ''riichi''. | Also, known as ''Ryuukyoku'', the hand ends in a draw, after all the tiles from the wall are drawn, except for the 14 in the ''dead wall''.
