Thanks for the answers. Now I have more questions. (Since I'm usually not dealing with hands like these. lol.)

If 13 orphans is a yakuman worth 32,000 points anyway, if Saki rons on Koromo's 1-pin, even if there's no double-yakuman rule, she'll still beat Koromo by 1500 points, right? (Or am I missing something again?)

Koromo: 168,200
Saki: 105,700

If Saki takes 32,000 from Koromo:

Koromo: 136,200
Saki: 137,700

I'm asking because after looking around a bit, I saw a blog post by some pro mahjong players who keep a blog/podcast (in English no less!), and they were discussing all of the various rule variations. Double yakuman as an optional rule didn't seem to be very popular in Japan ATM. (Especially in the pro leagues.) It's more popular as part of the European rules.

Then again, they're playing the tournament in Saki with akadora... so who knows what the rules are.

I guess it's time to find an illustration somewhere of the rules held conveniently in someone's hand.
