'''Chombo''' {{kana|冲合/錯和}} is a penalty for game rule violations. Some moves may be considered [[dead hand|minor and correctable]], like accidentally drawing the wrong tile from the wall. Rule violations subject to chombo are harsh enough to abort the hand and impose a point loss on the offender. | |||
In all instances of chombo, the current hand is then aborted and repeated. Players who have declared [[riichi]] during the aborted hand get their riichi bet back. Most rules leave the [[honba]] count unchanged for the repeat | In all instances of chombo, the current hand is then aborted and repeated.

=== Noten riichi === | === Noten riichi === | ||
Technically, players may declare riichi at any time whether they be tenpai or not. However, a valid riichi may only be declared with a [[tenpai]] hand. Declaring riichi with a noten hand is not detected by the other players immediately. It goes unpunished if another player wins the hand or on an [[abortive draw]]. In fact, that is the best case scenario for a noten riichi call. The player would avoid the chombo situation. Otherwise, the noten riichi is punished with chombo, if the player declares a win, or when the hand must be revealed at [[ryuukyoku]]. | |||

{{main| | {{main|Agari houki}} | ||
Lesser infractions are penalized by [[agari houki]], or a "dead hand". In this case, players are not deducted points. Instead, a player with a dead hand is forbidden to make any type of call, such as chii, pon, kan, riichi, tsumo, or ron. Violation of the dead hand results in chombo however. | |||
=== Wall destruction === | === Wall destruction === | ||
A player may not crash and destroy the wall, such that the tile arrangement cannot be recovered. This is by far one of the worst penalties, as the act ruins the game completely. It is worse, when done intentionally. The intentional act of destroying the wall may be considered to be extremely rude and renders an otherwise enjoyable game into a confrontational one. Here, a player may not just incur a penalty but also be ejected. | A player may not crash and destroy the wall, such that the tile arrangement cannot be recovered.

A number of other instances may be included as penalties. These adjustments may differ from setting to setting, as hosts have the discretion to declare certain actions worthy of chombo penalties or less. | |||
