The '''chombo''' is a penalty to the player, who performs specific illegal procedures. Other illegal procedures may be forgivable if done accidentally, like accidentally drawing a tile from a different part of the wall. However, things like cheating or winning without a yaku are more serious offenses. In the event of a chombo, the player must play out a penalty of points to the amount of a [[Scoring|mangan]].  Otherwise, the rules to chombo may be [[Rule_variations#Chombo|modified]].

==The game rounds==
{{main|Hanchan}}
The entire game itself involves multiple instances of tile shuffling, dice rolling, and hand building.  It is known as a '''hanchan'''.  After the conclusion of one hand, players assess the end of the previous hand and transfer points between each other, as appropriate.  Afterwards, the game repeats the tile shuffing and wall building process to proceed into the next hand.  Each hand is [[Kyoku|denoted]] by the current wind round, dealer number, and the number of dealer repeats.  The game proceeds to its conclusion after each player has had the chance to be the dealer twice during the game.  This involves 8 dealer rotations; and these rotations are split into two groups of 4 to compose two different wind rounds: East and South.  For shorter games, everyone is allotted the dealer seat once, to play just a single [[Tonpussen|East round]].  For each dealer position, players may extend their dealer position with [[renchan|additional bonus hands]].
