Examples for Scoring With the Seasons

Fig. 39

Fig. 39. The above hand was completed by Punging the 3 characters and, when held by South, scores as follows:

For Winning the Hand (MAH-JONGG) 20 points
For no score other than Game 10 points
30 points
Each Season scores 4 = 2 × 4 = 8 points
38 points
Doubling once for hand all one suit except for Honor Tiles = 76 points
Doubling once for one No. 2 Season, which is South's own Season = 152 points

Note that in doubling for one-suit hands the Seasons are not considered. "They are classed neither as a part of a-suit nor as Honor Tiles, but as a separate part of the hand. If the hand were entirely of one suit, the score would be doubled three times, regardless of the Seasons. However, the value of the Seasons (4 points each) is added to the score before doubling begins.
