MCR patterns worth 1 point
The smallest patterns, worth one point each. They include several kinds of waits (Edge Wait, Closed Wait, Single Wait), Self-Drawn, and the points for flowers and seasons.
About this tier
They never reach the minimum alone, but they add the last points to a hand. Remember that flowers and seasons do not count towards the eight-point minimum.
How to read the examples: sets that were called from a discard (exposed) are underlined in orange, and the winning tile has a gold outline. Every example is a complete winning hand that has been checked against the scoring engine.
