PENALTIES

2. The one discarding a tile that permits another player to win must bear the entire losses of all other players; if the player winning had any of the following four combinations of tiles exposed at the time of discarding, _unless the discarder himself had two complete doubling honors and was waiting for the winning tile_ or _was waiting for the winning tile which would give him more than two doubling honors_.

1. When nine tiles or more of the same suit are exposed and the discarded tile gives a winning hand on entirely one suit.

2. When nine heads or more are exposed and the discarded tile gives a winning hand of entirely heads.

[Ill.u.s.tration: Ill.u.s.tration No. 8a]

Example 1. Any player discarding a one or a four of dot would complete this hand and unless he had two complete doubling honors and was waiting for the winning card or was waiting for the winning card to complete his hand, with more than 2 doubling honors, he must pay the winner for all.

[Ill.u.s.tration: Ill.u.s.tration No. 8b]

Example 2. Any player discarding a red dragon will permit this player to win and will be penalized for his recklessness by having to pay all scores, unless his own hand fulfills the requirements set out in Example No. 1.

[Ill.u.s.tration: Ill.u.s.tration No. 8c]

Example 3. A player discarding a white dragon is liable to the penalty above mentioned, unless his own hand fulfills the requirements given above in No. 1; anyone may discard a one of dot which, though permitting the player with the above hand to win, would not bring a penalty down upon the discarder.

[Ill.u.s.tration: Ill.u.s.tration No. 8d]

Example 4. A player discarding an East Wind would allow this player to win and would be penalized unless excepted as in the other examples.

Here as in Ex. 3, a discard to the other pair, i.e., a three of bamboo, would not be penalized.

NOTE. (a) If a player has no choice in his discard; that is if he discards the winning dot to an all dot hand when he has only dots to discard, he is not penalized.

(b) When a penalty is imposed, all scores except that of the winning hand are canceled.
