Kotozakura caused the throw, he should have won by Dead Body

Kotozakura was the aggressor and caused the throw. He should have won by Dead Body

Dom Guido

Thanks Tim!

Tim Crouch

I would have liked a redo on that one but I am not upset with the result. He did technically touch down first

Tim Crouch

There is a booth with the replay video and another judge in that room that has access to it. He can watch the replay, and he communicates to the judges at the dohyo what he sees and then they can discuss and the head judge makes the final decision.

Hard to see an ozeki winning this basho...or starting a yokozuna run

Dom Guido

Apologies if you answer this in the video, I'm watching on mute right now...

Dom Guido

So, I don't actually know the answer to this, during the mono-ii, do the judges have access to the replay? Is there a Video Assistant Referee of sorts that's communicating with them, or are they just reconstructing the action from their recollection?

As someone who is at work and watching this video right now, I approve of your plan for work with no classes next week! Wow, close call on this match! Kotozakura's tachiai have been a little soft, but he had better control after them in his wins thus far.
