* All hand-completing tiles are already used within the player's own hand. Declared kans and open melds belong to the hand. If a player has a 1-2 [[Penchan|penchan]] and a previously declared [[Kan|kan]] of 3-3-3-3 in the same suit, no more threes are available as winning tiles.

A player with a [[dead hand]] is never considered tenpai. | A [[dead hand]] involves a minor penalty, but not subject to [[chombo]]. Dead hands often involve minor mistakes, such as a certain number of accidental bumps to the wall or a mistake regarding [[naki|open calls]]. A player with a [[dead hand]] is never considered tenpai, even if the tiles in the hand show a state of tenpai. | ||
