End game scenarios: Difference between revisions

Both a start score and a goal score are set for games.  The start score is self-explanatory, indicating the starting number of points for each player.  The goal score is the minimum number of points required for the game winner to attain after the final regular hand of the game.  Under most settings, players begin with 25,000 points and aim to be the highest score above 30,000 points.  Of course, these point settings can change in accordance to club, [[jansou|parlor]], or [[tournament]] hosts.

'''Enchousen''' {{kana|延長戦}} is an extra wind round.  The extra round functions like an "overtime sudden death period"  This extra round continues, when no player scored above the [[scoring|goal score]] after the final regular hand.  The instant a player scores above the target points with a winning hand, then the game ends immediately; and the same player wins the game.  However, [[ryuukyoku]] cannot end the game.  For a regular hanchan game, this extra round is indicated as the West round.  For [[tonpuusen]], the South round takes on this role.
