Settlement Between Losers

After the winner has been paid, the losers continue settling among themselves based on the difference in points between their hand values.

Main rule

Compare the 3 losers pairwise:

the higher score receives the difference from the lower score

the lower score pays that difference to the higher score

The source gives this example:

loser A has 100p

loser B has 80p

loser C has 50p

Then the following happens:

A receives 20p from B

A receives 50p from C

B receives 30p from C

put the 3 losers in order from high to low

compare each player with each player below them

each time pay only the difference

That prevents points from being counted twice.

Loser settlement is therefore not a new point count. You use only the already fixed hand values of the 3 non-winners.

The same comparison method is also used after invalid tjok, but then only for the 3 players who did not commit invalid tjok.

Quick check

The loser with the highest score receives from the other 2.
The loser with the lowest score pays the other 2.
Each time you settle with differences, not full scores.
After invalid tjok, the player with invalid tjok stays outside this comparison.
