Koromo: 168,200
Saki: 105,700
If Saki takes 32,000 from Koromo:
Koromo: 136,200
Saki: 137,700

Yes. Which is why I said the double yakuman was sort of overkill. It would be 2k points difference since they round. And I think the more important question is what their +/- would be after calculations.

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.

Link please?

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

Yeah. The rules seem a little different than normal and like Fujita-pro says in the Vice-Captain round, the tournament this year changed its rules and seems aimed at finding special / "lucky" players.
