Bazoro explanation, Short version: Scoring is normal.
Long version: the way you turn fu and han into a score is by doubling the fu a number of times equal to “2 + han”. So, a 3 and 30 is 30>60>120>240>480>960, so payments are 960=1000 and 1920=2000: 1000/2000.
The vast majority of western scoring sheets list the number of han *without* that “2 + ” part. but it’s always been there, and Saikouisen just puts that 2+ on the score sheet. no worries, though, scoring is the same as it’s always been.
Example:
