End of a Round

Know when a round is complete.

Concept

Formal rounds have endpoints

A formal round has a defined endpoint. In the tournament rulebook and most common gameplay, one round consists of four complete wind cycles, and there may also be time or hand-count limits.

At the end, players verify scores before leaving the table. A game session is a structured series of hands, not just one hand.
