'''Tenpai''' {{kana|テンパイ}} is also referred to as the "ready hand". A hand is tenpai or "ready" when only one more tile is needed to complete the hand. The completion may be either done by draw and/or discard, where applicable. Tenpai does not require that the completed hand has a [[Yaku|yaku]], although both a completed hand and a yaku are necessary to win. | '''Tenpai''' {{kana|テンパイ}} is also referred to as the "ready hand".

The direct opposite of tenpai '''noten''' {{kana|ノテン}}. This word is a contraction of the English '''no tenpai'''. A hand in this state absolutely has no chance of winning upon the immediate draw or discard. Instead, it relies on further tile draws and discards to attain the state of tenpai. | |||
Overall, the recognition of a tenpai hand is one of the most important concepts of the game. Without this recognition, then a player lacks the ability to make the best decisions on which tiles to [[tile efficiency|best discard]]. | |||
