Guangdong Style Scoring

Guangdong Style	Overview	Gameplay	Scoring

After a player says "Mahjong" (and it's confirmed they have a valid winning hand) their Points are totaled, and they receive a payout.

Most rulesets set a minimum point restriction. Some rulesets also set a maximum limit, but many do not.

The Payout

Several things set Guangdong Style apart from HKOS…

1. A huge number of winning conditions
2. An additive scoring system (instead of the Fan table)
3. For wins by discard, the discarder is responsible for the entire payout
4. The winner receives the same payout regardless if their winning tile was self-drawn or discarded

Only the winning player receives a payout from their opponents. This depends on if the player self-drew or called the winning tile from a discard.

• Self-Draw: Each player pays the winner Points x1.
• Discard: The discarder pays the winner Points x3, the other two opponents pay nothing.

List of Fan

Like HKNS, Guangdong Style also contains a long list of winning conditions. These depend on the ruleset.

AvgThis table was created by comparing 9 different Guangdong Style rulesets.
Only winning conditions that were found in a majority of the rulesets were included.
There are 5 basic Point Tiers: I, II, III, IV, V. These on average coincide with points like so…

Tier	I	II	III	IV	V
Points	1	3-5	10-15	20-30	40-50

• Pure Flush III-IV means about half of the Guangdong Style rulesets score it at Tier III and the other half score it at Tier IV.
• Half Outside Hand *I≬II* means all rulesets that include this pattern score it in between Tier I and Tier II.

For a standardized ruleset built on this data, use GMCR.

Minimum: Tier II recommended.
Maximum: Tier V or none at all.

Multiple Mahjong clubs played this ruleset in the 2000's. The author, W. Chan, refers to it as Guangdong Mahjong and states,
"These patterns come from actual authentic Cantonese Mahjong rules (at least more authentic than "Hong Kong Style Mahjong")!

Chan does not mention Minimums or Maximums, but does explicitly state the scoring must be additive and not like Hong Kong Mahjong.

"There are some special cases that must be calculated separately. For example, a Seven Pairs hand or a Heavenly Hand always results in a "closed hand" (all tiles are concealed), so it's not counted as a "closed hand" for one point. A hand with all "terminal" tiles always results in a missing "five," so it's not counted as a "terminal" hand for another point. Finally, it's worth mentioning that the scoring rules vary from place to place. For example, some people only give three points for a hand with all five tiles and fifteen points for a hand with four winds, but as long as it's agreed upon beforehand, it doesn't matter too much."
