Payments to winner – Chinese/Taiwanese Official scheme

This payoff scheme is used in Chinese (mainland) Official and Taiwanese 16-Tile Mah Jong. If the winning tile is self-drawn, all pay normally to the winner; if the winning tile is a discard, discarder alone pays winner's final score (other losers pay nothing).

Like Chinese Modern, this scheme accentuates meaning of going out self-drawn, even more so, since discarder is not penalized in any way (no extra double, nor payments for all).

To enable the payment option:

1. Choose Preferences on the File menu.
2. Choose a customized rule preset from the Rule presets list.
3. Choose Payments under the Scoring section in the category tree of the Preferences dialog box.
4. From the Payments to Winner list, select Chinese/Taiwanese Official.
