'''Chombo''' {{kana|冲合/錯和}} is a penalty for heavy 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.

'''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, while some rules may handle this like any other [[abortive draw]].

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]]. The noten riichi is punished with chombo if the player declares a win, or when the hand must be revealed at [[ryuukyoku]].
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]].
