MCR patterns worth 16 and 12 points
Two tiers on one page. At 16 points you find the straight and shifted-chow patterns (Pure Straight, Pure Shifted Chows), All Fives, Triple Pung and Three Concealed Pungs. At 12 points are Knitted Straight, Big Three Winds and the "four" range hands (Upper Four and Lower Four).
About this tier
This is the workhorse range: these patterns appear often enough to plan a hand around them.
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.
