A wrestler's ranking is based on his performance in the elite tournaments that are held six times a year. Each
wrestler has fifteen bouts per tournament, one per day over fifteen consecutive days. If he finishes the
tournament with a winning record (eight victories or better), his ranking will rise. If he has a losing record, his
ranking falls. If it falls far enough, he is booted from the elite rank entirely. The eighth victory in any tournament
is therefore critical, the difference between promotion and demotion; it is roughly four times as valuable in the
rankings as the typical victory.

wrestlers?
O The incentive system penalizes elite sumo wrestlers.

Don't click D. I know it says "royalty" at the end, but it says they treat ALL wrestlers as royalty. The passage says they only treat the elite like that. :))

"A wrestler near the top of this elite pyramid may earn millions and is treated like royalty. "
