Perhaps the biggest difference between Classical and many other forms of
mahjong is the rule that losers can collect points for the sets in their
hands.

Oops... there is more to this. I was going to a general question: Which do
you like better -- and why?

Prefer it when only the winner gets paid. Because it's quicker, simpler,
less math.

I think the second principal difference which influences the whole
strategy is that "you have to play to the end". Even 4 ready sets,
even Big Three Dragons in your hand, etc. means NOTHING when the
opponents finishes the game.
