Order of claiming in 1 example

Suppose West discards a tile.

North may take that tile for a straight, because North is the next player

South may not take that same tile for a straight

every player may still call tjok

every player may also call poeng or kong if the hand allows it

Priority

Rank	Call	Who may do it
1	`tjok`	every player
2	`poeng` or `kong`	every player
3	`straight`	only the next player

Who wins with multiple `tjok` calls

Example of a straight

West discards 4 bamboo.

North has 2 bamboo and 3 bamboo

North claims the 4 bamboo

North places 2-3-4 bamboo open

North then discards 1 tile

Call	Before the discard	After the discard
`poeng`	`4 circles, 4 circles` in hand	open `4-4-4 circles` on the table
`kong`	`7 bamboo, 7 bamboo, 7 bamboo` in hand	open `7-7-7-7 bamboo` on the table
`straight`	`2 bamboo, 3 bamboo` in hand	open `2-3-4 bamboo` on the table

Example of being too late

West discards a tile.

North says nothing

North already draws a tile from the wall

South then calls poeng

Then South is too late. The previous discard has already been completed.

Quick check

A straight goes only to the next player.
Tjok always comes before poeng.
As soon as the next action has started, claiming too late is over.
