{{main|Tochuu ryuukoku}}

'''Tochuu ryuukoku''' is commonly referred to as the abortive draw.  A mahjong hand may end prematurely. In this event, no points are exchanged, and no penalties are enforced. Instead, the hand ends, and the tiles are reshuffled.

{{main|Chombo}}

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.
