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]]. A more common practice involves docking penalized points after the game to expedite it and not waste time enforcing the penalty. | The '''chombo''' is a penalty to the player, who performs specific illegal procedures.

Otherwise, players go on to [[Score table memorization|memorize the point values]]. | ||
