na, ime:

When two or more rikishi finish the basho in a tie for the lead, they participate in a kettei-sen (playoff). This is equivalent to "King of the Mountain." No matter how many rikishi are tied, the only way to break the tie is for one rikishi to beat all others in succession. Thus, if only two rikishi are involved, the play a single bout and the winner gets the yusho.

If three rikishi are involved, they draw from three papers which have one of the following marks: Higashi (East), Nishi (West) or a circle. The East and West rikishi then face off and the winner of that match then faces the rikishi who sat out the first match. This continues until one rikishi compiles two consecutive victories. If four rikishi are involved (I think I read that this has happened a few times), then they draw lots and compete until one rikishi compiles three consecutive victories.
