The basics
The 81 fan and the counting principles
The full MCR fan list, and how to avoid counting twice: non-repeat, non-separation, non-identical, account-once and take-the-highest.
How fan are counted
After a win, add up every fan your hand qualifies for. Each flower adds 1 more point, but flowers do not count toward the 8-point minimum.
A hand with no fan at all (flowers aside) scores Chicken Hand, 8 points.
The five counting principles
Non-repeat: a fan already implied by a bigger one is not counted again. Full Flush has no honours by definition, so No Honors is not added; Fully Concealed Hand already includes Concealed Hand and Self-Drawn.
Non-separation: once the hand is split into sets, you may not break a set apart to make another fan.
Non-identical: the same sets cannot form the same fan twice. Two identical chows give one Pure Double Chow.
Account-once: each remaining set may combine only once with a set that has already been combined. A Pure Straight plus another 123 gives one Pure Double Chow with one chow of the straight — not two.
Take the highest: when a hand can be split in several ways, use the one that scores most.
The game applies all five principles for you, and the results list the fan that were not counted.
