To determine the point value of a hand, the following procedure is used:
To determine the point value of a hand, the following procedure is used:
# Determine the hand's valid [[yaku]]
# Count the han based on the yaku
# Count any number of dora to the han count
# If the han count is more than 5, counting fu is no longer necessary
# If the han count is 4 or less, then count fu
# After determining the number of han and/or fu, refer to the scoring table


For any who prefer to use the equation, the base point calculation is based on the following equation:
: '''Basic points = fu × 2<sup>(2 + han)</sup>'''
After determining the basic points, factor based on the status as dealer and no-dealer as well as the win by ron or tsumo.
*When a non-dealer wins by tsumo, the player earns 1 × basic points from the other non-dealers.  The dealer in this case pays 2 × basic points.
*When a non-dealer wins by ron, the discarding player pays the winner 4 × basic points.
*When the dealer goes out by tsumo, the dealer scores 2 × basic points from all players.
*When the dealer goes out by ron, the dealer earns 6 × basic points from the responsible non-dealer.
