How does "win-loss" matching work?

In two places page says pairings are "determined by win-loss records." I would like to know in what way. --ChrisMiddleton (talk) 02:52, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@ChrisMiddleton: All it means is basically those who are doing well and challenging for the championship will be matched against each other to create excitement and help determine who wins. Also those who are aiming just to get their majority of wins will sometimes be paired so only one will get it and go up the ranks next time and the other will go down. I'll see what sources I can find and add something to the article.-- Pawnkingthree (talk) 13:13, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Pawnkingthree Could you find some sources for this? I also noticed it while watching ozumo, but I cannot find a source. Emilio.Berti (talk) 10:43, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Emilio.Berti Just a quick note to say I've seen this and will look for a source. Pawnkingthree (talk) 13:19, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bye clarification needed?

Why does the paragraph

A bye is only possible if a wrestler has withdrawn due to injury from a scheduled bout; the result is that his opponent wins by forfeit. If a withdrawal^[clarification needed] results in an odd number of wrestlers in one division, the schedule is filled in by pairing a lower-ranked wrestler against a higher-ranked wrestler from the next-lower division.

claim that clarification is needed? It seems clear to me.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Will Mengarini (talk • contribs) 14:33, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

They were asking in what circumstances a wrestler can withdraw without penalty. There is no such thing as a withdrawal always results in a loss, so I've re-written it to make that clear.-- Pawnkingthree (talk) 20:48, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
