After an exhaustive draw, points are exchanged based on the number of players with a [[tenpai]] hand vs those who are in noten (not tenpai). Players in tenpai reveal their hands and receive points from those in noten. Players in noten may choose to reveal their hands, but it is not required, and does not impact scoring. When playing with physical tiles, a player in tenpai may (intentionally or not) declare noten, losing out on points. Afterwards, the [[honba]] count is increased by 1.

[[Jikaze|Wind seating]] may or may not rotate, depending on the [[oya|dealer's]] hand. Usually: if the dealer is in tenpai, then the wind seating remains the same. If the dealer is noten, the winds rotate. However, in some [[rule variations#Agariyame|rule variations]], the winds rotate even if the dealer is in tenpai.
[[Jikaze|Wind seating]] may or may not rotate, depending on the [[oya|dealer's]] hand and the given [[rule variations#Agariyame|ruleset]]. Under many rules: if the dealer is in tenpai, then the wind seating remains the same. If the dealer is noten, the winds rotate. However, in some [[rule variations#Agariyame|rule variations]], the winds rotate even if the dealer is in tenpai.


While the term "ryuukyoku" is usually used to refer to an exhaustive draw in Japanese, on occasion this may be ambiguous, as the term technically refers to any draw (cf. [[tochuu ryuukoku]], {{kana|途中流局}}). When ambiguity occurs, it may be referred to as '''tsuujou no ryuukyoku''' {{kana|通常の流局}}, which translates roughly as "usual kind of draw".

[[Jikaze|Wind seat rotation]] is dependent on the dealer's hand state: tenpai or noten. If the dealer's hand is tenpai, then [[renchan]] is applied and wind seating does not rotate. If the dealer's hand is noten, then the wind seating rotates. (However, in some [[rule variations#Agariyame|rule variations]], the winds rotate even if the dealer is in tenpai.

Tenpai is the state of the hand waiting on just one tile to claim for a win, either by draw or discard. Even if the hand does not win, it can still be awarded a small amount of points at the end of the hand, after all possible tiles are drawn and discarded.  So, hands at tenpai during ryuukyoku still has some value.
Tenpai is the state of the hand waiting on just one tile to claim for a win, either by draw or discard. When an exhaustive draw happens, a win is no longer possible, but a small point bonus is given.

Despite the hand being one tile away from completion, all of the possible winning tiles are in the player's own closed [[kan]]. So, instead of gaining points, the player is considered noten.

These cases depend on the specific rule variation, though.
