Question: What is an “Earthly Hand”?

Answer: When East player (the only player with 14 tiles) has Mah Jongg after the first left or after the Charleston, it is called an “Earthly Hand.” If this occurs, it is considered a self-picked Mah Jongg and the winner is paid double by all players. Also see ID102.
