For rounds 1 and 2, in the event that a head judge doesn't post the result of a fight the day that he "rings the bell" and declares the match over, a designated alternate can step in the next day and declare a winner. If no winner is selected by the third day after a match is over, Neojiisu (or someone else impartial if it's a match Neo is in) reserves the right to step in and declare a winner.
Judges will ensure that everyone is following rules and control 'referee' characters who will step into the match if needed, even throwing in a towel and calling the match over!
At the end of each match thread, the judge will post the who the winner is and in what way (Ring-out, knock out, etc). If there is no clear winner when the time limit runs out, then this is how the judges will decide the winner:
1) Overall Writing Quality 2) Sportsmanship (Not god-moding, taking and dishing out hits, following rules) 3) Aggressiveness 4) Who got the last hit in 5) Number of Attacks (landed or unlanded)
While it might not seem fair, I am placing some emphasis on who gets in the last hit to encourage constant posting. You don't want your opponent to get that last hit in do you? However, Judges should not base decisions solely on this factor. Notice how it is toward the bottom of the list. When posting their decision, the judge should post specifically why they think the winner won.
