Haneman

Haneman is the Riichi limit tier directly above mangan, awarded to hands worth 6 or 7 han. It pays 1.5 times a mangan: 12,000 points for a non-dealer and 18,000 for a dealer, with the self-draw amounts split among the other players (3,000 each from non-dealers, or 6,000 each when the dealer wins by tsumo).

Unlike low-han hands, a haneman is a flat tier, so fu no longer affects the score once you reach 6 han; a 6-han hand and a 7-han hand both pay haneman regardless of their fu count. This makes the 5-to-6 han boundary a meaningful jump, often crossed by adding dora, akadora, or ura dora to an already strong yaku base such as honitsu or a closed tanyao hand.

Haneman sits in the ladder of named limits between mangan (5 han) below and baiman (8-10 han) above, leading up to sanbaiman and finally yakuman. Because the tiers are discrete, players frequently weigh whether one more han will lift a hand into the next bracket. Haneman is exclusive to Riichi and Japanese-derived rules and has no counterpart term in MCR, Hong Kong, or Taiwanese scoring.

For example, a closed hand with riichi, menzen tsumo, and a half flush (honitsu, 3 han closed) reaches 5 han, but adding a single dora and an ura dora revealed after the win pushes it to 7 han, scoring a non-dealer haneman of 12,000 points instead of a mangan.
