		They are not collected for scoring, but as will be described later, the flower(s) or season(s) corresponding with the winning player's wind may double the winning score one or more times.

		Pairs only score points if the pair is a dragon, prevailing wind or the player's own wind OR if it is a pair of "double wind" tiles(see scoring table).
