How Baiman is calculated
Baiman is a limit tier: base points are fixed at 4,000 no matter the fu, and it covers hands worth 8, 9, or 10 han. Each win type multiplies that fixed base with the standard multipliers — the results are already round hundreds, so no rounding is needed:
- Non-dealer ron4 × 4,000 = 16,000
- Dealer ron6 × 4,000 = 24,000
- Non-dealer tsumo — dealer pays2 × 4,000 = 8,000
- Non-dealer tsumo — each non-dealer pays1 × 4,000 = 4,000
- Dealer tsumo — every player pays2 × 4,000 = 8,000
Hands that commonly land here
Baiman is 8 to 10 han territory: dora-stacked riichi hands, honitsu with multiple yakuhai and dora, or a chinitsu that just misses more han. These usually need the dora indicator (and ura dora) to cooperate.
- Baiman is scored for hands worth 8, 9, or 10 han.
