	Numeral Tiles from 2- to 8- (Won, Bamboo or Ball)	2
	Wind or Color tiles	4
	1-s and 9-s	4

3.	Melded Kan (set of 4 of a kind) - double Pon in Hand Numeral Tiles from 2- to 8-	8

5.	Pillow or Head
	Wind or Color Tiles	2
	Double Wind Pillow	4
	Double Wind occurs when the Seat Wind and the Round Wind are the same.
6.	Chi (sequence)
	A Chi has no points. It is only an arrangement for Going Out.
7.	For Going Out a player receives a Base of 20 Points. The Fundamental Points (F. P.) are equal to the Base of 20 plus the sum of Pon, Kan and Pillow.F. P. = Base + Pon + Kan + Pillow.

Bonus tile Pon(s).

A Pon of the Seat Wind, the Round Wind, or of Color tiles, doubles the Fundamental Points. When a player has one Bonus Pon, the F. P. are doubled.

(Base 20 + Pon + Kan + Pillow) × 2

When a player has three Bonus Pon(s), the F. P. are doubled three times. (Base 20 + 3 Pons + Pillow) × 2 × 2 × 2(or × 8).

The above cases refer to the points in the hand, but the following four cases apply only in Going Out.

		Points
(1)	When one Goes Out by making a pillow	2
(2)	When one Goes Out by completing a Chi by filling in an Intermediate tile	2

For example:—Completing a 4 - 5 - 6 Ball Chi by getting a 5 - Ball tile.

Going Out by making a Pillow

Going Out with an Intermediate

(3)

When one Goes Out by completing a Chi with a Marginal tile

2

For example:—7 - Won is the Marginal tile of the 7 - 8 - 9 -Won Chi. A 3 - Ball tile is the Marginal tile of the 1 - 2 - 3 -Ball Chi.

Going Out with a Marginal tile

This hand can Go Out with either a 4-Bamboo tile or with a 7-Bamboo tile

(4)

When one Goes Out with a tile drawn from the pile

2

For example:—with the above hand a player has two chances to Go Out. It he Goes Out by drawing either a 4 - Bamboo or a 7 - Bamboo from the pile he gets 2 points.

The above points in Nos. 1, 2, and 3 are doubled if a player picks a tile from the pile to make up the pillow to Go Out, or if he picks an Intermediate or a Marginal tile from the pile to Go Out.

If during the South Round, one of the players Goes Out by making a pillow of South tiles by picking up from the pile, he gets a total of 6 points.

Pillow of South tiles		2
Going Out by making a Pillow		2
Going Out by drawing from the pile		2
	Total	6

If a player in the South Seat, during the South Round, makes a Pillow of South tiles by picking up from the pile and Goes Out, he gets 8 points.

Pillow of South tiles		4
Going Out by making a Pillow		2
Going Out by drawing from the pile		2
	Total	8

Great care must be taken in counting the points because many times they overlap.

The before-mentioned points are the points in the hand, but the following points are the Bonuses for Going Out.

Four Chis and Pillow (no Letter tiles)

Numeral tiles 2- to 8- only; Pon, or Chi and Pillow

Numeral tiles 2- to 8- only, but having four Chis.
