'''Oorasu''' {{kana|オーラス}}, or "all last", is the term used for the last round of the game. This is South 4 for hanchans, and East 4 for East-only rounds. Naturally, if the current dealer wins, the game can go on for another [[renchan]]. Once the dealer fails to renchan, and the top player has reached the goal score, the game ends.

Depending on the ruleset, the dealer may be allowed (or forced) to end the game once they are in first place. This is a rule known as [[#Agariyame|agariyame]].

If first place's points are below the goal score by all last, the game starts an '''enchousen''' {{kana|延長戦}}, or extra "sudden death" hands. During enchousen, when a player wins a hand and scores above the goal score, the game ends. However, [[ryuukyoku]] cannot end the game.

Rulesets will differ on how many enchousen rounds a game can go. Some rulesets only allow one wind round maximum: if the game goes on to West 4 (hanchans) or South 4 (Tonpuusen), the game ends, even though no one reached the goal score. Other rules do not have a target score and thus do not have enchousen.
