Double Honour Scores
The following multipliers apply to all hands and are applied after all sets and bonus scores have been totalled.
| Double Honour Scores | |
|---|---|
| Three or four of own wind in hand or on table | Score x 2 |
| Three or four of prevailing wind in hand or on table | Score x 2 |
| Three or four of any dragon | Score x 2 |
| Going out by robbing a kong | Score x 2 |
| Going out on the last tile before the Dead Wall (may be either drawn or claimed) | Score x 2 |
| All but last tile concealed | Score x 2 |
| Fully concealed | Score x 4 |
| Hand entirely of one suit and honours | Score x 2 |
| Hand entirely of one suit or honours | Score x 8 |
| Hand entirely of terminals (not cumulative with above) | Score x 2 |
| Hand entirely of simples (not cumulative with above) | Score x 2 |
| Hand entirely of winds and dragons | Score x 8 |
| To win on original hand "Hand for Heaven" | Score x 8 |
Should one hand contain more than one doubling honor combination, the score is doubled for each combination according to the above table. Thus, if a hand scores 40 and has, for example, 3 Red Dragons, 4 of your own wind, and all other pieces of the same suit, you double 40 three times, making your score 320.
