Depending on the rules, multiple player may win from a hand. This occurs when more than one player is waiting on the same tile, and that tile is discarded. This event is called a '''double ron''' or even '''triple ron'''. Some rules allow double ron but not triple ron. Some rules allow triple ron. Other rulesets apply the head bump rule ([[atamahane]]) - only one player wins the hand. When atamahane is used, the player closest in turn order to the next player claims the win.
