'''Keishiki tenpai''' {{kana|形式聴牌}}, or '''shaped tenpai''', applies to hands with no yaku. Such hands still remain relevant at ryuukyoku regarding tenpai vs noten payments. | '''Keishiki tenpai''' {{kana|形式聴牌}}, or '''shaped tenpai''', applies to hands with no yaku. Such hands still remain relevant at ryuukyoku regarding tenpai vs noten payments. The definition of tenpai does not necessarily apply to [[yaku]]. | ||
This is a common pitfall for many beginners. Hands are built to tenpai. However, due to lack of or limited knowledge of the yaku, players may find themselves unable to declare a win. Often, the hand simply lacks yaku. Otherwise, [[furiten]] may also be a reason. In this state, it is still possible to produce yaku via [[haitei]], [[houtei]], and even possibly [[rinshan]]. This is particularly true of open hands. For closed hands, [[mentsumo|tsumo]] may count as an additional option. | |||

A [[dead hand]] involves a minor penalty, but not subject to [[chombo]]. Dead hands often involve minor mistakes, such as a certain number of accidental bumps to the wall or a mistake regarding [[naki|open calls]]. A player with a [[dead hand]] is never considered tenpai, even if the tiles in the hand show a state of tenpai. | A [[dead hand]] involves a minor penalty, but not subject to [[chombo]].
