'''Keishiki tenpai''' {{kana|形式聴牌}}, or ''' | '''Keishiki tenpai''' {{kana|形式聴牌}}, or '''yakuless tenpai''', are tenpai hands without any yaku. While these hands cannot win normally, they are still considered tenpai for the tenpai vs noten payment done at ryuukyoku. Even if a hand has no built-in yaku, it may still win with a conditional yaku ([[haitei]], [[houtei]], [[chankan]], [[rinshan]]). | ||

A new player might build a hand to tenpai, but due to limited knowledge of yaku, are unable to declare a win. | This is a common pitfall for many beginners.
