'''Atozuke''' {{kana|後付け}} | '''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]]. | ||
When a hand is | When a hand is in the state of atozuke, it can win if: | ||
*It obtains a winning tile that would [[takame|give a yaku]]. | |||
*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]]. | |||
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. | |||
'''Sakizuke''' {{kana|先付け}} is the rule opposite of atozuke; if sakizuki is enabled, a hand is not allowed to be in atozuke. | |||
