ons, double total score once.

For having all one suit except
honor pieces, double total score
once.
For all honor pieces, double
total score three times.
For winning on original hand
as drawn from the wall, double
total score three times.
It will be seen at a glance that
the scoring values are divided in
to three parts. First, the bonus
scores, which apply only' to the
winner’s hand; finally, the doub
ling honors, which apply to all
four hands. In settling the
scores the winner starts at the
top with twenty points for “Mah
jong” or for winning and goes
down the list scoring ten points,
if he has no sequence in his hand,'
and so on through the bonus
' scdres; add to these whatever
scores he obtains from combina
tions in his hand or on the table,
and doubling the sum as many
times as he has doubling honors.
In the bonus scores for the
winning hand only there are six
items:
1. “Mah-Jong,” which gives 20
points for completing the hand.
2. No sequence in hand or on
table. This.is a bonus” of 10
points given to a player if he wins
with a hand which contains no
sequences.
3; Drawing the winning piece.
This is a* bonus of 2 points given
to the winning player if he draws
the tile which completes his hand
from the wall. Of course, pung
ing the winning tile will forfeit
: this bonus.
4, ' Filling the only place to
win. This is a bonus of 2 points
given to a player who fills the
only possible place to win, i. e.,
to win by matching the pair or
by drawing the middle tile of a
sequence.
5. Winning on a draw from a
loose tile. This, of course, is a
bonus of ten points given to the
Winning player if by a loose tile

draw he has been fortunate
enough to complete his hand. t
6. No other score than “Mah
jong” in hand or on table. This
is a bonus of ten points given to
the winning player having only
20 points for “Mah-Jopg” as his
score, and is a hand made up of
four sequences and a pair in
which there is no score, a se
quence having no scoring value
whatsoever. Of course, even
drawing the winning piece will
forfeit'this bonus.
In the combination scores ex
posed sets are those on the table
face up to the right of the player;
concealed sets are those which
are in his hand at the time of
winning. As will be seen by the
score card, concealed sets having
been made up by the player with
out the assistance of a pung or
chow score twice as much as the
same set would if it were" on the
table. This, together with the
fact that sets of ones, nines,

winds or dragons score twice as
much as sets of twos, threes,
fours, fives, sixes, sevens and
eights, should be helpful in mem
orizing the score, which is essen
tial to, the careful playing of each
hand.
As for the doubling honors,
each set or combination doubles
the total score once, and if there,
are five doubling honors in a
hand, the total score should be'
doubled five times. For example:
A player goes Mah-Jong or Mah
Diao, having 32 points in bonus
scores, 18 in combination scores,
making his total score 50. Then
if he has five doubling honors his
final score is 1,600 points, i. e.,
50-100-200-400-800-1,600.
