--RULES--
The winner of a sumo bout is generally either:
The first wrestler to force his opponent to step out of the ring
The first wrestler to force his opponent to touch the ground with any part of his body other than the bottom of his feet
Also, a number of other less common rules can be used to determine the winner. For example, a wrestler using an illegal technique (or kinjite) automatically loses, as does one whose mawashi (or belt) comes completely undone. A wrestler failing to show up for his bout (including through a prior injury) also automatically loses (fusenpai).
1 : Bending back fingers, +1 RivP (RivalryPoint)
2 : Kicking at the opponent’s chest or waist, +2 RivP
3 : Grabbing the opponent’s throat, +3 RivP
4 : Jabbing at the opponent’s eyes or solar plexus, +4 RivP
5 : Pulling of the hair, +5 RivP
6 : Pulling or grabbing opponents groin, +6 RivP, Instant Disqualification (1/3 Rounds)
In some situations, review of the gyōji's decision may be needed. The judges outside the ring, who sit at eye level (the "shimpan") may convene a conference in the middle of the ring, called a "mono-ii". This is done if the judges decide that the decision over who won the bout needs to be reviewed; for example, if both sumotori appear to touch the ground or step out of the ring at the same time. In these cases, sometimes video is reviewed to see what happened. Once a decision is made, the chief judge will announce the decision to the spectators and the wrestlers alike. They may order a bout to be restarted, or leave the decision as given by the gyōji. Occasionally, the shimpan will overrule the gyōji and give the bout to the other wrestler.
After the winner is declared, an off-stage gyōji (or referee) determines the kimarite (or winning technique) used in the bout, which is then announced to the audience.
On rare occasions, the referee or judges may award the win to the wrestler who touched the ground first. This happens if both wrestlers touch the ground at nearly the same time and it is decided that the wrestler who touched the ground second had no chance of winning, his opponent's superior sumo having put him in an irrecoverable position. The losing wrestler is referred to as being shini-tai ("dead body") in this case.
