Overall, the recognition of a tenpai hand is one of the most important concepts of the game. Without this recognition, then a player lacks the ability to make the best decisions on which tiles to [[tile efficiency|best discard]]. | Overall, the recognition of a tenpai hand is one of the most important concepts of the game.

Every hand in tenpai involves some sort of [[machi|wait pattern]], or machi {{kana|待ち}}. Various wait patterns are conveniently named, because of their frequency. Some occur more than others. Overall, associating the different patterns with names helps with the ability to quickly recognize them and their waiting tiles. Likewise, players who recognize these patterns may also be able to select among them. | |||
