'''Atozuke''' {{kana|後付け}} refers to a [[tenpai]] hand with no guaranteed [[yaku]], but can gain yaku upon obtaining a specific winning tile. In other words, it is "yakuless" while in tenpai. This typicaly involves an open hand, though it can also apply to closed hands without [[riichi]].
'''Atozuke''' {{kana|後付け}} refers to a [[tenpai]] hand with no guaranteed [[yaku]], but can gain yaku upon obtaining a specific winning tile. In other words, it can only win with some of the tiles it would [[wait]] on. This typically involves an open hand, though it can also apply to closed hands that haven't called [[riichi]].


When a hand is in the state of atozuke, it can win if:
When a hand is in the state of atozuke, it can win if:
Line 5: Line 5:
*It gains a conditional yaku, such as [[haitei]] or [[rinshan]] (no matter which winning tile is obtained).
*It gains a conditional yaku, such as [[haitei]] or [[rinshan]] (no matter which winning tile is obtained).


Thus, under normal conditions, a hand in atozuke is unable win with some of its winning tiles. If it draws a "[[yasume|lesser]]" winning tile, it would have no yaku, and be unable to win. If a lesser tile is drawn, the hand may be subject to [[furiten]].
Thus, under normal conditions, a hand in atozuke can only win with some (not all) of its winning itles. If it draws a "[[yasume|lesser]]" winning tile, it would have no yaku, and cannot win. So, if a lesser tile is drawn, the hand may be subject to [[furiten]].


The atozuke ''rule'' determines whether a hand is allowed to be in atozuke. It is subject to [[Rule variations#Atozuke|rule variations]]. When the atozuke rule is disabled ("atozuke nashi"), you must have a confirmed yaku before winning (and, sometimes, before making any call). The more common rule, by far, is to allow atozuke. Rules disabling atozuke are rare, mostly found in specific [[jansou|mahjong parlor]]s.
