Japanese Mahjong Score CalculationRon or Tsumo? The payment is different depending if the hand is won by Ron (by other player’s discard) or Tsumo (self-pick).

Ron: The player who discarded the winning tile is responsible for paying the winning player the value of his/her hand.

Tsumo: The payment is split by all the losing players.

Calculating Han PointsCalculate the sum of the Hans of the Yakus of the hand and the number of Dora in the hand.If the Hans are worth 5 or more you can ignore Fu calculation and refer to the Limit Hands Table.

Calculating Fu PointsThe hand receives Fu points for the way it is won:
