This distinction is important for two reasons:
This distinction is important for two reasons:
* Two [[yaku]] (and only two yaku) care about closed tile groups: [[sanankou]] and [[suuankou]]. Every other yaku only checks if the hand is closed. For example, it is possible to score [[iipeikou]] with a hand won by ron, even if the iipeikou was completed by the ronned tile.
* Closed triplets and closed kans are worth more fu than their open counterparts. Sequences are unaffected.
* Closed triplets and closed kans are worth more fu than their open counterparts. (Sequences are unaffected.)
* Two [[yaku]] (and only these two yaku) care about closed tile groups: [[sanankou]] and [[suuankou]], which both require closed triplets.
** Every other yaku only checks if the hand is closed. For example, it is possible to score [[iipeikou]] with a hand won by ron, even if the iipeikou pattern was completed by the ronned tile.
 
Example 1:
 
* {{#mjt: 55666p11188s666z}} Agari: {{#mjt: 5p}} or {{#mjt: 8s}}.
** On tsumo, the hand scores suuankou, since it has 4 closed triplets (6-pin, 1-sou, Hatsu, the triplet completed by tsumo).
** On ron, the hand instead scores sanankou, since it only has 3 closed triplets (6-pin, 1-sou, Hatsu).
 
Example 2:
 
* {{#mjt: 11233m34566p678s}} Agari: {{#mjt: 2p}}
** On both tsumo and ron, the hand scores iipeikou, since whether a sequence is open or closed is not relevant to the yaku; it only matters if the ''hand'' as a whole is open.
