The hand
You are East in the East round and self-draw to complete: a pung of red dragons, a pung of East winds, 3-4-5 of characters, 6-7-8 of characters and a pair of 9 characters. You have no flowers.
Listing the faan
Self-draw: 1. No flowers: 1. Red dragon pung: 1. East pung as seat wind: 1. East pung as round wind: 1. Mixed one suit (characters plus honours): 3. Total: 8 faan, under typical Hong Kong values.
Checking minimum and limit
With a three-faan minimum, the hand easily qualifies. If the limit is eight faan, the hand pays the limit; if the limit is ten or thirteen, it pays the eight-faan rate.
Paying
Because it was a self-draw, all three opponents pay according to the table. Always double-check the elements with the table — and remember that values differ between groups.
