Mahjong 101: Going Dead

A player “goes dead,” (is out of the game) when:

• She has too many or too few tiles in her hand.
• She has declared Mah Jongg in error
• Another player is able to figure out her hand and knows she cannot possibly make it, based on what is on the table. 
• A player has exposed too many or too few tiles to make any hand.
