Each value to be paid is rounded up to the nearest 100. Because of how this rounding works, a tsumo win may result in a few hundred more points than a ron of the same value. (For example, a 1 han 30 fu hand scores 240 basic points. Without rounding, a ron would score 960 points, and a tsumo would also score 240+240+460 = 960 points. As each individual player's payment is rounded, ron scores 1000, and tsumo scores 300+300+500 = 1100, or 100 more than ron.)

(For example, a 1 han 30 fu hand scores 240 basic points. Without rounding, a ron would score 960 points, and a tsumo would also score 240+240+480 = 960 points. As each individual player's payment is rounded, ron scores 1000, and tsumo scores 300+300+500 = 1100, or 100 more than ron.)


To explain this in different terms: when hand wins by ron, the ronned player pays 100% of the hand's value. When a hand wins by tsumo, each player splits the payment evenly (with the dealer paying double).
