Counting and Rounding
How you add points, apply multipliers, and round up.
Use a fixed traditional calculation order. First you add the points. Then multipliers are applied. Only at the end do you round up.
For the point values themselves, use Base points and set points together with Winning points and extra points. This page only fixes the order of calculation.
Main rule
Use this order:
10Example without multipliers
A winner has:
1open poeng of a small tile =2p1closed kong of a large tile =32ptan tjauwon a small tile, self-drawn =4p- ordinary winning hand =
20p
Total before rounding:
2 + 32 + 4 + 20 = 58p
After rounding that becomes:
60p
Short variation
If a hand reaches 32p after adding all set points and winning points, it still rounds up only at the end. That variation therefore becomes 40p.
Effect at the table
Always keep this order. That way point counting, multipliers, and settlement continue to align with each other.
Traditional standard
The traditional point count additionally mentions a general maximum of 500 after adding, multiplying, and rounding. That maximum is therefore broader than only a cap on Man Kong.
Quick check
- Rounding happens only at the end.
- You always round up.
- Multipliers come between adding and rounding.
