I've only seen this in Makushita, but what they do is fight in round robin.
To win, you have to win n-1 bouts in a row.  The one I saw was a 3-way tie
that took 7 bouts before one guy got 2 wins in a row (thus beating the others
he was tied with).  It was be absolutely awesome to see such a tie between
Akebono and Takanohana and Wakanohana!  But somehow it never seems to happen
in Makunouchi.
