===Start score===
===Fu==


Each player has this many points at the start of a hanchan.
Counting fu may have some variation.  A hand with four groups and a pair might have a double wind pair, by which the wind pair is both the round wind and the seat wind. This rule decides how many fu such a double wind pair is worth.


* 0 – Start at zero points, but the game continues with negative scores.
* Ari - The pair counts as 4 fu: 2 from the wind, and 2 from the wind round.
* 25k–30k – A negative score aborts the hanchan.
* Nashi - The pair only counts for 2 fu.

=== Karaten tenpai ===
{{main|Tenpai}}
[[Tenpai|Karaten]] is a state where a hand in tenpai has all of its winning tiles exhausted via discards, dora indicators, [[Naki|open calls]], [[kan|kans]], and even in other players' hands.
* Ari - The hand is tenpai under all karaten situations.
* Noten - The hand is declared as noten at [[ryuukyoku]].
* Kan noten - The hand is declared as noten at [[ryuukyoku]], if all of a player's waits are used for one's own kan.  The hand is declared as tenpai for all other cases.
===Kiriage mangan===
Score 4 han, 30 fu as a mangan, as well as 3 han, 60 fu. The exact values for these hands are 7,700 points on a non-dealer ron, split as 2,000 and 3,900 on a non-dealer tsumo, and 11,600 points on a dealer ron, split as 3,900 for all on a dealer tsumo.

===Renchan===
[[Renchan]] are additional hands, where the [[Jikaze|wind rotation]] is not applied.  Instead, the wind positions remain the same for an extra hand.


This is a placing bonus for first and second place after a hanchan. First place receives (larger amount × 1,000) points from forth place, and second place receives (lower amount × 1,000) from third place. These points are exchanged in addition to the oka.
* Agari The hand is repeated only when East wins.
 
* Tenpai The hand is repeated when East wins, or when East is tenpai upon exhaustive draw.
* 0 No placement bonus is exchanged.
* Nanba The hand is repeated when East wins, or when East is tenpai upon exhaustive draw, or when there is any exhaustive draw during the nanba (south round).
* Share Ask Sylvain what this means in detail. I don't know. :-)
* Option – The rules allow two possible options, agari and tenpai.
* X/Y First place receives (X × 1,000) points from fourth place, second place receives (Y × 1,000) points from third place.
 
===Shaaba===
{{main|West round}}

* Ari – Continue into west round.
* Nashi – Always stop after south 4th hand.
 
===Yakitori===
{{main|Yakitori}}
