### Temporal Units (TUs) Considering the Championship  
One sample chi-square test (n = 2340 contests) rejected the uniform distribution between temporal units (TU1, TU2, TU3, TU4, TU-FRT and TU-GS) in the whole sample of contests (\(p\) < 0.00; residuals = \(-\)132, 12, 22, 30, \(-\)46 and 114, respectively). In addition, one sample chi-square test by sex also rejected the uniform distribution in both men (n = 1387; \(p\) < 0.001; SR = \(-\)102.2, \(-\)3.2, 18.8, 17.8, \(-\)18.2 and 86.8, respectively) and women (n = 953; \(p\) = 0.004; SR = \(-\)29.8, 15.2, 3.2, 12.2, \(-\)27.8 and 27.2, respectively). \begin{table}

* Winner” indicates that the athlete winning ends with more _shido_, “defeated” indicates that the defeated athlete ended with more _shido_, “tied at zero _shido_” indicates contests ending without penalties, “tied at one _shido_” indicates contests ending tied at one _shido_, and “tied at two _shido_” indicates contests ending tied at two _shido_.

Table 5: Relation between when a contest ended (WhCE: contests ending before the accomplishment of the regular time of 4 m (BRT), finishing at the regular time of 4 min (FRT) and finishing during the golden score period (EXT)) and the distribution of _shido_ (n = 2340). The chi-square overall analysis showed an association (\(p<0.001\); \(V=0.082\)) between the TUs and the championship.
