===South 4===
===South 4===
South 4, or "all last", is typically the last hand of the game (barring [[renchan]] or not reaching target score). Many mahjong rule sets, particularly tournament, apply a calculation of [[uma]], which is a point bonus applied to placement. Therefore, even a 100 point lead over an opponent can result in a big bonus.

In this last rotation, players must take note of point differences. For non-dealers, this is effectively the game's last hand. When scoring a hand, the player must take note of the point difference via both ron and tsumo.  From there, the hand must be built to fit the point requirement to make up the difference for gyakuten.
