In 101 Okey the player who finishes scores minus 101, and players who never opened receive plus 202, with the lowest total winning.

Because low scores are good, the finisher's minus 101 is a big reward, while failing to open at all is heavily penalised at plus 202. Players who opened but did not finish score based on the tiles left in their hand. The game is often played over several rounds, and the running total decides the overall winner. This scoring makes opening early and finishing fast very valuable.
