Also, known as '''ryuukyoku''', the hand ends in a draw, after all the tiles from the wall are drawn, except for the 14 in the ''dead wall''. In this case, the player(s) in ''tenpai'' receive points from those in ''noten''. A hand in ''tenpai'' is one that needs just one more tile, either by draw (''tsumo'') or discard (''ron'') to win. However, that needed tile was never claimed. Nearly 40% of professional games go to an exhaustive draw due to players immediately dropping out of the race when a player declares ''riichi''.
