[[Nagashi mangan]] counts as a win, rendering [[ryuukyoku|noten penalties]] and noten riichi [[chombo|chombo]] void. Multiple players may win with Nagashi Mangan simultaneously, payments occur as with separate mangan Tsumos. Table counters affect the hand score normally. Hand progression or hand repeat depends on whether East was a nagashi mangan winner or not, because tenpai hands are not revealed.

[[Renhou]] is a yakuman. This is awarded to any player winning by Ron within the first uninterrupted set of turns, before the player has made his first draw from the wall. The winner does not need to have another yaku, Renhou by itself is the yaku.

After each Hanchan, players receive a relatively large [[Uma|uma]] of 10-30, i.e., the second player receives 10,000 points from the third, and the first player receives 30,000 points from last place. When player scores tie, the tying players share their Uma; ties are not resolved by player seating order. Players tying for first share any leftover Riichi sticks. There is no [[Oka|oka]]. Scores are ''not'' rounded to the nearest thousand.
