When a round goes to an exhaustive draw, a special hand rechecking is applied to all non-winners. In this case, non-winner's hands will be rechecked if the following condition is satisfied: | When a round goes to an exhaustive draw, a special hand rechecking is applied to all non-winners.

With such a high penalty, it's always recommended to try to keep tenpai before the exhaustive draw. Moreover, trying to hold a tile from unwanted suit is always risky and is never recommended. Strategies like complete defense <small style="color:#999;">(''betaori'')</small> are no longer useful, as such method tries to give up tenpai and only discard safe tiles, while this only leads to a final penalty as huge as deal-in payment. | With such a high penalty, it's always recommended to try to keep tenpai before the exhaustive draw.
