The player who makes Gin scores 20 points plus the value of the opponent's uncombined cards. The one who makes Knock, if they win the
game, score the difference in the value of its cards without combining with those of the opposing player while if the opponent wins,

Once the game is finished, the players score the following rewards: 100 points for winning a game, 20 points for
each partial game won and 100 points for winning all the games in a match without the opponent winning any.
Irregularities
If it is observed that one of the players has more or fewer cards, that game is canceled.
If a player calls a Knock, having uncombined cards worth more than 10 points, and the mistake is discovered before
that reveals some cards the opponent, he may choose to force the other to leave his cards exposed only while he does
the next play, or, if it suits him, to consider the Knock legal. If the error is discovered after the opponent has exposed
his combined cards, but without having placed any in the game he sang the Knock, he can choose to force the
Knock to play the game to the end with face-up cards, or allow him to pick them up and continue the regular game, but with the
penalty for the one who made the mistake of not being able to register, if they win the game, more than the simple value difference of the cards
without combining. If the error is discovered later than in the previous cases, the Knock is considered valid.
If a player who sings a Knock discards a card that makes it illegal while still being able to discard another that makes it legal, they must
undo the mistake.
