+'''Keishiki tenpai''' {{kana|形式聴牌}}, also known as '''keitan''' or '''shaped tenpai''', is a [[tenpai]] hand with no [[yaku]]. Such a hand cannot win normally, but can still win points for tenpai settlements at [[ryuukyoku]]. It can also win if it gains a conditional yaku, namely [[haitei]], [[houtei]], [[rinshan]], or [[chankan]], those all these are rare.
