I took the liberty of expanding a similar article over at Saki wikia a couple weeks ago. http://saki.wikia.com/wiki/Tenhou_game_instructions Though, the tables could be better; and due to space limitations, I covered 4-player only. I did use XKime's article for translation. http://www.osamuko.com/sex/ Either way, what I did over in Saki wikia could be done better here. KyuuAA (Talk:キュウ) 20:33, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

1. complete newbie: newbie-->1k completely new to mahjong and practicing at ippan tables. will find difficulty to even advance to 1k
2. lower beginner: low 1d - mid 2d losing group at jyoukyu tables, impossible to get to tokujyou
3. upper beginner: mid 2d - mid 3d average player at jyoukyu tables, can reach tokujyou by extreme good luck but in general it is unreachable.
4. lower average: low3d - low 4d average - winning group at jyoukyu tables, will reach tokujyou sometimes but drop back easily
5. upper average: mid 4d - low 5d losing group at tokujyou tables, but they have significant edge at jyoukyu tables. Therefore when they drop from tokujyou tables they will be able to come back with ease.
6. lower advanced: mid 5d- low 6d average player at tokuyjou tables, they can reach houou by extreme luck but in general it is unreachable. they experience big resistance at 6d and therefore find great difficulties in reaching houou.
7. upper advanced: mid 6d- low 7d winning group at tokujyou tables, will reach houou sometimes but drop back easily
8. lower super advanced: upper 6d- mid 7d losing group at houou tables, but they have significant edge at tokujyou tables. Therefore when they drop from houou tables they will be able to come back with ease. This rank is for players who tried houou for many times, those are also known as "6d-7d elevator"
9. upper super advanced: mid 7d- mid 8d average houou players, and will drop to tokujyou if they are running bad. with extreme good luck they can even reach 9d. they are playing at their average place of close to 2.5. Mahjong to them is interesting, but very tough.
potential players belong to this rank are those who straight reach houou from 6d without going back to 5d.
10. complete expert: mid 8d+ wll be the winning group at houou tables most of the time and there are very little chance for them to go back to tokujyou
they enjoy big edge with rank 9 (upper super advanced), for public their level is evne not imaginable.
In general they can spot those fishy 7d, rank9 players at houou tables.

When super unlucky: Falls to 3d.
Lower advanced Rank: Mid-5d - lower 6d Stable in tokujou. Can reach houou when super lucky, but this is fundamentally impossible. The 6d wall is thick, so being on the verge of houou is the limit.

Leftmost is auto-win (自動和了), then auto-discard aka tsumokiri (ツモ切り), then ignore callable tiles (嗚かない), and finally color settings (色) and sound (音).
