'''Haipai''' {{kana|配牌}} are the first thirteen tiles dealt to a player's hand.  In other words, these tiles compose the '''start hand'''.  In the case for the dealer, this would be fourteen as the dealer is required to take the first draw before discarding.  Given these tiles, players are given the task to best manage the hand either by attempting to bring the hand to [[tenpai]] and/or defending the hand by avoiding dealing into another player's hand ([[ron]]).

Naturally, the eventual tile draws and discard may dictate changes to this initial assessment.  It is up to the player to maintain awareness and change along with the tiles themselves.
