Scoring table
The scoring table is generated by calculating the point values of each han and fu combination. With known han and fu values, the appropriate point values can be read straight off the table. Memorizing the score table, or at least knowing the common values, can help decision making.
Mangan
Mangan 「満貫」 is a point cap which limits the impact of han and fu. Worth 8000 points in total (12000 points for the dealer), mangan is reached with 3 han and 70 fu, 4 han and 40 fu, or 5 han. Once a hand reaches mangan, increasing fu will no longer affect scoring, and han has a reduced effect.
Below mangan, every han roughly doubles the hand's score. Past it, each han can still increase the hand's score, but in set intervals. These values, like mangan, have their own names:
- 6-7 han: Haneman 「跳満」 = 12000 for a nondealer and 18000 for the dealer; 50% more than mangan (x1.5)
- 8-10 han: Baiman 「倍満」 = 16000 for a nondealer and 24000 for the dealer; 100% more than mangan (double)
- 11-12 han: Sanbaiman 「三倍満」 = 24000 for a nondealer and 36000 for the dealer; 200% more than mangan (triple)
- 13+ han: Kazoe yakuman 「数え役満」 = 32000 for a nondealer and 48000 for the dealer; 300% more than mangan (quadruple)
- Some rulesets don't use kazoe yakuman, in which case 13+ han hands are worth sanbaiman.
- Yakuman: Points are the same as kazoe yakuman.
- Multiple yakuman: Points are the value of yakuman multiplied by the number of yakuman the hand contains.
Kiriage mangan
Kiriage mangan 「切り上げ満貫」, or "rounded up mangan", is a scoring variation that modifies mangan. When kiriage mangan is enabled, a 4 han and 30 fu hand, as well as a 3 han 60 fu hand, are considered mangan. The difference between a regular 4 han 30 fu hand (worth 7700 or 7900 points for non-dealers) and mangan is not very large, so these values are rounded up for convenience.
Kiriage mangan is reasonably common in real life play, though most computer clients do not use this rule.
Dealer
- The upper value to each scoring pair are the points awarded for tsumo. All nondealer players pay this amount to the dealer.
- The lower value to each scoring pair are the points awarded for ron. The ron values are approximately or exactly three times the amount of the "tsumo" values.

Nondealer
- The upper value to each scoring pair are the points awarded for tsumo. These points are arranged in pairs because of non-dealers and the dealer. All nondealer players pay the smaller amount, while the dealer pays the larger amount.
- The lower value to each scoring pair are the points awarded for ron. The ron values are approximately or exactly the same as the dealer points plus two times the non-dealer points.
