There've been some changes to the tachiai: a new "get ready" phrase from the shinpan and a more tightly regulated requirement that all four rikishi hands are actually touching the dohyo before the bout begins. Despite the headline making it sound like the changes are only for amateur sumo, I believe they apply to professional-level sumo as well; am I reading it right?

For amateur sumo, a fresh start offers hope against time-wasting and gamesmanship

That's half the fun of watching the match. Drawing out the tachiai is part of the ritual!

Is it considered untoward for amateurs to do all the standing up and walking around and throwing salt and all that?
