-The lowest score for mangan is 8000 points for a non-dealer. Higher values possess specific names, namely: haneman, baiman, sanbaiman, and yakuman.  Their point values are most convenient because they are round numbers; and they are some multiple of mangan.  In the case of mangan to haneman, these two values have a difference of 50%.
+For mangan and beyond, a point cap is applied, such that fu is no longer counted.
-Regardless of the win by ron or tsumo, the player gains the same amount of points.  The 12,000 points awarded for a dealer mangan ron is equal to the 4000 points from each player with a mangan tsumo.  This same pattern applies to the other named values.
+The lowest score for mangan is 8000 points for a non-dealer by ron.  The dealer value is 4000 points more, or 50% more, at 12000 points.  For the tsumo values, the 8000 points for mangan ron is cut in half.  That amount is paid by the dealer.  The remaining 4000 points is again split in half for the other players to pay 2000 points each.  For the dealer value, it is simply taking the 12,000 points normally scored by ron and dividing it into 3 for the other players to pay.
+Higher values possess specific names, namely: haneman, baiman, sanbaiman, and yakuman.
