MCR SCORING ELEMENTS LIST

There are 81 different scoring elements (aka fan's pinyin: 番) known to MCR, which is short for the Mahjong Competition Rules (aka Chinese Official) worldwide standards. The standards are described in the MCR Greenbook (pdf format) and outlined here, not only describing them in detail but also in various samples and contexts. For your convenience, we have several groupings, the first by type, the second by element number (descending), and thirdly, by score amount, whichever suits you best.
