Count the best pattern the hand matches, and only that one. Cheapest first. Every example is a complete winning hand.
a legal hand that matches no other pattern, the smallest win there is
every set is a triplet of 1s, 9s or honors
four runs (chows) + a pair, no triplets
four triplets + a pair, no runs
two dragon triplets + a pair of the third dragon
one suit + honors only (here: bamboo + dragons/winds)
seven pairs instead of sets
triplets of all three dragons + a set + pair
three wind triplets + a pair of the fourth wind
a single suit throughout, no honors at all
Ten faan and up. Rare enough that most tables look them up, which is what this side is for. Still only one pattern counts.
only winds and dragons
four triplets, none claimed from a discard
triplets of 1s and 9s only
one suit: 1-1-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-9-9 + a winning tile
triplets of all four winds + a pair
four kongs (4-of-a-kind) + a pair, holds more than 14
one of every 1, 9, wind & dragon + a duplicate of any (the pair)
all four flowers and all four seasons: an automatic win, worth 13 on its own
