When a hand is subject to atozuke, it may still win if it draws the "[[takame|higher value]]" tile. However, it is normally unable to win off the "[[yasume|lesser]]" tile, since it would lack yaku. If the lesser tile is drawn, the hand may be subject to [[furiten]].

Atozuke is subject to [[Rule variations#Atozuke|rule variations]]. When the atozuke rule is disabled ("atozuke nashi"), you must have a confirmed yaku before winning. More commonly, atozuke is allowed.

* When the atozuke rule is disabled, this hand cannot win. Neither iipeikou nor sanshoku are confirmed. Because this hand does not ''guarantee'' "iipeikou", "sanshoku", or any other yaku in its current state, it cannot win. (Of course, since this is a closed hand, you can just call [[riichi]].)

To repeat, atozuke is most often enabled. So such a hand can win under most rulesets without needing riichi.

This hand would gain a yakuhai if it wins off the haku or chun. However, it does not have a guaranteed yaku in the current state, and so it cannot win in atozuke disabled (until riichi is declared).
 
{{#mjt:123456m67p6'66z7'89s}} Agari: {{#mjt:5s}} or {{#mjt:8s}}
 
This hand has a confirmed yaku through the triplet of hatsu. However, ''it did not have any yaku when calling the 789-sou''. Therefore, this hand cannot win with atozuke disabled.
 
To repeat, atozuke is most often enabled. When atozuke is enabled, all 3 types of hand can win without issue.
