During the course of the game, it is important to be aware of the current point standings.  This places multiple considerations during the game, particularly regarding riichi.  Players with significant point deficits may not have much of a choice with riichi and desperately needs the benefits, regardless of the risk.  On the other hand, players with a considerable lead does not need riichi.  The indefensible position of riichi is certainly unnecessary, when in possession of a large lead.
Games with a tighter point distribution requires greater discretion.  Sometimes, the 1,000 points spent on riichi (without winning it back) is enough to determine overall placement.
