In the Queen's Club rules, the terminology is: "pung" = exposed pung "small kong" = concealed pung "(exposed/concealed) great kong" = (exposed/concealed) kong So far, so normal, modulo terminology. However, the QCR version of the usual double for three concealed pungs is expressed thus: ...Which contain three "Kongs", whether "Small" or "Great", but any such "Great Kong" must in the first place have been a "Small Kong" in the player's hand. That is, your concealed pungs may include a concealed kong or a claimed kong, but *not* an annexed kong, as per Millington. But there's an oddity: the doubles for all-concealed and the limit for Buried Treasure do *not* apply if there's a concealed kong! Very strange.
