Winning Points and Extra Points
The extra points for waiting forms, flowers, and an ordinary win.
Besides set points, the traditional count gives extra points for the winning form of the hand. These categories apply to the winner.

|---|---|---|
Waiting on 1 tile with a small tile | 2p | 4p |
Waiting on 1 tile with a large tile | 4p | 6p |
Paar-paar staan with small tiles | 2p | 6p |
Paar-paar staan with large tiles | 4p | 10p |
| Middle wait | 2p | 4p |
| Side wait | 2p | 4p |
| Each flower | 4p | 4p |
| Each pair of dragons | 2p | 2p |
| Pair of own or prevailing wind | 2p | 2p |
| Pair of own wind that is also prevailing wind | 4p | 4p |

East windA straight itself gives no points, but the way you win with that straight can still give extra points. That is why middle wait and side wait can still yield points.
Source note
The traditional source phrases these categories as a fixed point table. The modern simplification is therefore not used on this page.
