At the very least, the hand must initially qualify for the yaku, [[iipeikou]].  With [[tenpai]], the tile wait involves a [[tanki]], to complete the pair, or the need to complete the other "iipeikou".

Like iipeikou, ryanpeikou requires the ''hand'' to be closed. Declaring [[ron]] with closed hand is fine, even if the ron'd tile completed this yaku.

=== Chiitoitsu ===
=== Chiitoitsu ===
This yaku does not combine with [[chiitoitsu]].  By definition, chiitoitsu is formed by the collection of seven distinct pairs. In most instances of ryanpeikou, the hands look like chiitoitsu hands. However, ryanpeikou is actually composed of [[mentsu#shuntsu|sequences]], rather than as independent pairs. Because of this interpretation, the two yaku remain distinct and incompatible. It is doubtful that any [[rule variations|house rule]] allows the combination of the two yaku.

Note that not all instances of ryanpeikou look like chiitoitsu. The following, for instance, is a valid ryanpeikou hand:

{{main|Scoring}}
{{main|Scoring}}
Ryanpeikou can only be scored closed, and is always worth 3 han. So there is no need to be concerned about [[kuisagari|the hand losing value when open]]. The cheapest ryanpeikou hand uses either a [[kanchan]] / [[penchan]] / [[tanki]] [[machi|wait]], or a [[ryanmen]] wait with valued [[honor]] as the pair. In both cases, the hand produces a 3-han and 40-fu value by ron.  By tsumo, it is 4-han and 30-fu.
