Scoring variations

Kong scoring chart (Chinese Official rules)

The following chart shows the method Four Winds 2.09 uses to calculate scores for complex Kong hands. The point examples are for Chinese Official rules.

The chart is created by the player community that uses Chinese Official rules and applied in Four Winds despite its inherent logical flaws, because these rules are the only world-wide rules where these kinds of complex pattern calculation combinations are likely to appear so the weaknesses of the scoring method are not likely to be an issue for any other rules.

The major difference from the method that was used in versions earlier than 2.09 is that patterns containing melded Kongs no longer accumulate in higher Kong patterns. Also, the way the patterns Concealed Kong and Two Concealed Kongs can co-exist with other patterns, differs from the regular inclusion logic used in Four Winds and done according to Chinese Official rules (as interpreted by the community: the official sources do not specify explicitly how Kongs should be scored).

1		Melded Kong
2		Concealed Kong
2		Two concealed triplets
4		Two concealed triplets + Concealed Kong = 2 + 2
4		Two Kongs
6		Mixed Kongs
8		Mixed Kongs + Two concealed triplets = 6 + 2
8		Two concealed Kongs
16		Three concealed triplets
18		Three concealed triplets + Concealed Kong = 16 + 2 pts.
24		Three concealed triplets + Two concealed Kongs = 16 + 8 pts.
28		Three concealed triplets + Mixed Kongs + Pung hand = 16 + 6 + 6 pts.
32		Three Kongs
34		Three Kongs + Concealed Kong = 32 + 2 pts.
40		Three Kongs + Two concealed Kongs = 32 + 8 pts.
42		Three Kongs + Concealed Kong + Two concealed triplets + Pung hand = 32 + 2 + 2 + 6
48		Three Kongs + Three concealed triplets = 32 + 16 pts. NOTE: Two concealed Kongs are not counted here even if they are counted below in Four concealed triplets + Two concealed Kongs.
62		Three Kongs + Two concealed Kongs + Three concealed triplets + Pung hand = 32 + 8 + 16 + 6 pts.
64		Four concealed triplets
66		Four concealed triplets + Concealed Kong = 64 + 2 pts.
72		Four concealed triplets + Two concealed Kongs = 64 + 8 pts. NOTE: Two Concealed Kongs are counted here but not above in Three Kongs + Three concealed triplets.
88		Four Kongs
90		Four Kongs + Concealed Kong = 88 + 2 pts.
96		Four Kongs + Two concealed Kongs = 88 + 8 pts.
96		Three Kongs + Four concealed triplets = 32 + 64 pts.
104		Four Kongs + Three concealed triplets = 88 + 16 pts.
152		Four Kongs + Four concealed triplets = 88 + 64 pts.

Note also the following (not included in the original chart):

8		Concealed Kong + Pung hand = 2 + 6 pts.
12		Two mixed Kongs + Pung hand = 6 + 6 pts.
14		Two concealed Kongs + Pung hand = 8 + 6 pts.
18		Two mixed Kongs + Pung hand + Two concealed triplets = 6 + 6 + 6 pts.
28		Two mixed Kongs + Pung hand + Three concealed triplets = 6 + 6 + 16 pts.
30		Two concealed Kongs + Pung hand + Three concealed triplets = 8 + 6 + 16 pts.
40		Three Kongs + Concealed Kong + Pung hand = 32 + 2 + 6 pts.
46		Three Kongs + Concealed Kong + Pung hand + Two concealed triplets= 32 + 2 + 6 + 6 pts.
46		Three Kongs + Two concealed Kongs + Pung hand = 32 + 8 + 6 pts.
54		Three Kongs + Three concealed triplets + Pung hand = 32 + 16 + 6 pts. NOTE: This hand scores less than Three Kongs (two concealed and one melded) + concealed Pung that scores 62 pts. This is because Two concealed Kongs is not applied if the Kongs already get scores for Three concealed triplets.
