	Mahjong - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mahjong culture is still deeply ingrained in the Chinese community: Sam Hui wrote Cantopop songs, using mahjong as their themes.
		American Mahjong is a form of Mahjong standardized by the National Mah Jongg League and the American Mah-Jongg Association that has the greatest divergence from traditional Mahjong, with the introduction of Joker tiles, the Charleston, as well as melds of five or more tiles, and eschewing the Chow and the notion of a standard hand.
		Rules governing discarding Joker tiles also exist: some variations permit the Joker tile to take on the identity of any tile, and others only permit the Joker tile to take on the identity of the previously discarded tile (or the absence of a tile, if it is the first discard).

		Mahjong can be played either with a set of Mahjong tiles, or less commonly, a set of Mahjong playing cards.
		Besides the fun of mahjong is to aim for the high scoring hands and a flat rate scoring practically ruin the game when the challenge is eliminated.
		In contrast, the scoring system used in the Shanghai variant is high, due to the number of scoring combinations and inflated values for rarer hands such as the 13 Terminals.

	Scoring in Mahjong - free-definition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Scoring in Mahjong, a gambling game for four players that originated in China, involves points, with a monetary value for points agreed upon by players.
		A scoring limit may be more of a gambling incentive: for example, if six and nine points were scoring limits, a seven- or eight-point hand would be worth the same as a six-point hand, which may be an incentive for players to go for nine-point hands.
		Scoring in the Chinese Classical system, from which the Babcock system is derived, is a "point-and-double" system, where actual score is collected, and doubled based on the number of points (or doubles) a hand earns (thus, the point translation function is an exponential one).

	Mahjong - Four Winds Rule Collection - Japanese Modern: Scoring
		Note: In Japanese rules it is often required that the hand is complete right from the start (i.e., if a player declares a concealed Kong and gets the winning tile as a supplement, the hand would no longer qualify for a Heavenly Hand).
		In games where the final score is specified using a settling table, the limit is used as a unit to specify the final scores.
		In modern Japanese rules the Limit is 2,000 points, but the actual highest final score is specified by a settling table according to which a hand worth 13 han or more pays 400% of the Limit (meaning the Limit doubled twice), i.e.

	Modern Japanese Mahjong
		Modern Japanese is a modern pattern-based system, with quite a number of scoring patterns ("special hands"), many of them being worth more fans than the same pattern in Classical Mahjong.
		All the "patterns" listed here are merely scoring 'bonuses'; except for the hands listed in 10.0 Irregular Hands, you need a Regular Hand with 4 sets and a pair, with a pattern which is worth at least 1 fan, to go out in the first place.
		The hand is actually scored as 1 fan and 50 points (or 0 fans and 100 points, or 2 fans and 25 points), which is really slightly less than 2 fans.

	Mahjong - InformationBlast
		The Hong Kong scoring system, or the Cantonese scoring system, is one of the most popular scoring systems, as scoring tends to be low and the relation between points and actual score are very much separated.
		Because zero-point hands are common, many players insist that a winning hand have some point value, often anywhere between one and five points, with three being the most common.

	Dai-Mahjong - Reader Review - GameFAQs
		Your aim is to accumulate as many “competition points”, not the points as for scoring in mahjong, as you can by the time you finish playing in all 16 countries.
		Instead, you are given a “box” with 8 random mahjong tiles with a golden yellow foreground (normally, it’s white).
		But, the dice is rolled again for that specific mahjong hand and you are given a different hand to start off with, which can be good or bad compared to what you had in the past.

		A reminder: because every author describes the rules differently, it is not recommended that you spend a lot of time trying to reconcile one author's rules with another's (even when they are ostensibly defining the same "flavor" of mah-jongg!).
		Rule changes have occurred since 1976, so I don't recommend using these old rules as one's authority.
