Chombo: Difference between revisions

'''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.

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]].
