四海入门版的定位是给从未接触过麻将的玩家，在了解麻将行牌和牌规则后，在麻将基本和牌型基础上，理解麻将番种的概念。入门版规定了最基本、最常见、最容易和出的 7 个番种。
番种分类分值表
四海入门版包含 7 个番种。下面的番种分类分值表中，每一行代表一个番种系列，同一系列的番种基于相同的和牌理据。番种系列按照和牌理据分为不同的大类和类别。番种示例见附录。
<!-- table:480 -->
大类 - 类别 - 5 分 - 10 分
牌型 - 平和
序数 - 断幺
刻杠 - 一杠
字牌 - 番牌
一色 - 同顺 - 一般高

计分和授受法
每局和牌分为组成和牌型的各番种按照“高分法”和“同类别不复用”原则累加计分。高分法指的是，当一副和牌有多种拆分方法，按照分数最高的拆分方法计分。同类别不复用指的是，组成和牌型的每一个顺子、刻子和对子，在同类别的番种系列中只能被使用一次，在不同类别的番种系列可以多次使用。
四海入门版得分授受采用出铳幺二制，即自摸和时，三家分付，各家支付和牌分 H 的 2 倍（2H）；点和时，点和方支付和牌分的 2 倍（2H），其他两家支付和牌分的 1 倍（H）。
<!-- table:480 -->
和牌方式 - 支付方 - 支付
自摸 - 三家 - -2H
点和 - 铳方 - -2H
点和 - 非铳方 - -H
起和标准
入门版的标准起和分为 5 分，即和牌时满足番种表中任意一个番种即可以起和。初学者可以不设限制，满足麻将四副一对的基本和牌型即可和牌。没有任何符合的番型时（即“鸡和”）记为 1 分。

Beginner Level
Beginner Level
The Beginner level is designed for players who have never played mahjong before. After learning basic tile play and winning procedures, players can understand the idea of yaku on top of the basic winning hand structure. This version defines the seven most basic, common, and accessible yaku.
Yaku Classification and Point Table
The Beginner level contains 7 yaku. In the table below, each row represents one yaku series. Yaku in the same series share the same winning-hand rationale. Series are grouped by broad type and category.
<!-- table:480 -->
Type - Category - 5 Points - 10 Points
Form - All Sequences
Number - All Simples
Quads - One Quad
Honors - Value Honor
One Suit - Identical Sequences - Two Identical Sequences
One Suit - Consecutive Sequences - Half Straight
Three Suits - Two Similar Sequences
Yaku Definitions
Points - Yaku - Definition
5 - All Sequences - A winning hand composed of four sequences and a pair
5 - All Simples - A winning hand containing no terminals or honor tiles
5 - Half Straight - Two sequences in one suit made from six consecutive numbers
5 - Two Similar Sequences - Two sequences with the same numbers in two different suits
10 - One Quad - One quad
10 - Value Honor - A triplet of the seat wind or any dragon tile
10 - Two Identical Sequences - Two identical sequences in one suit
Scoring and Payment
When a hand wins, its yaku are added together according to the high-score method and the no-reuse-within-category principle. The high-score method means that if a hand can be divided in multiple ways, the division producing the highest score is used. No reuse within category means that each sequence, triplet, and pair in the winning hand may be used only once within the same yaku-series category, while it may be used across different categories.
The Beginner level uses the 1-2 discard payment method. On a self-draw win, all three opponents pay twice the hand score H, or 2H. On a discard win, the discarder pays 2H, and the other two players each pay H.
<!-- table:480 -->
Win Type - Paying Player - Payment
Self-draw - All three opponents - -2H
Discard win - Discarder - -2H
Discard win - Non-discarding opponents - -H
Minimum Score to Win
The standard minimum score for the Beginner level is 5 points. A hand may win if it satisfies any yaku in the table. For complete beginners, the minimum may be removed so that any basic four-sets-and-a-pair winning hand may win. A hand that has no yaku, also called a Chicken Hand, is counted as 1 point.
