Points Counting

A worked example of counting, multiplying, and rounding.

This page walks through 1 hand completely from the opened combinations to the rounded outcome.

Example hand

A winner has:

1 open poeng of 5 bamboo

1 closed kong of East

1 straight of 3-4-5 numbers

1 straight of 6-7-8 circles

a final pair of the own wind

the winner draws the winning tile themselves

In addition:

the hand is toei-toei-foei

there is 1 own flower

5 bamboo — Open poeng of `5 bamboo`

5 bamboo — Open poeng of `5 bamboo`

East wind — Closed kong of `East`

East wind — Closed kong of `East`

3 numbers — Straights in the hand

4 numbers — Straights in the hand

Step 1: set points

Set	Value
Open poeng of a small tile	`2p`
Closed kong of a large tile	`32p`
`2` straights	`0p`

Subtotal set points: 34p

Step 2: winning points and extra points

Situation	Value
Ordinary winning hand	`20p`
Pair of the own wind	`2p`
Own flower	`4p`

Subtotal extra points: 26p

Step 3: points before multipliers

34 + 26 = 60p

Step 4: multipliers

Situation	Multiplier
`Toei-toei-foei`	`1`
`1` own flower	`1`

Total multipliers: 2

That is Liong Van, so 4x.

Step 5: multiply and round

60 x 4 = 240p

Round up to the next 10:

240p

Quick check

First you add up the points.
Only then do you apply the multipliers.
Only after that do you round up.
