The lowest score for mangan is 8000 points for a non-dealer. Higher values possess specific names, namely: haneman, baiman, sanbaiman, and yakuman.  Their point values are most convenient because they are round numbers; and they are some multiple of mangan.  In the case of mangan to haneman, these two values have a difference of 50%.

Despite the size of the scoring table, it is possible to memorize the table, in a manner similar to that of a multiplication table. However, any attempt to learn the scoring table is fruitless without knowing particular prerequisites, like basic game procedures, game objectives (tenpai and defense), and the yaku. As a recommendation, scoring is among the last of the more basic concepts of the game for any newer player to learn.

Overview

Counting Han

Counting han is simple memorization of the yaku and their han values. As a reminder, some yaku may stack and combine with other yaku.

Mangan and more

The lowest score for mangan is 8000 points for a non-dealer. Higher values possess specific names, namely: haneman, baiman, sanbaiman, and yakuman. Their point values are most convenient because they are round numbers; and they are some multiple of mangan. In the case of mangan to haneman, these two values have a difference of 50%.
