“Mah jongg in error. No player should throw their hand in until mah jongg has been verified. If the declaration of mah jongg is in error, and one player throws in their hand and breaks the wall, that player is responsible for the stopping of the game. That player who broke the wall pays the two remaining players the lowest value on the card.”
