If it is a title match, he throws the title holder's pawns. Obverse side favors the upper player. If obverse pawns are more than reverse ones, then the upper player will make a first move. If some pawn(s) happen to stand up and the obverse ones are equal to reverse ones, then furigoma will be retried. It's correct. Also, same logic is applicable in case that a title match=20 will decide by 2 or 3 wins in advance. As to a rematch after the sennichite, no furigoma occurs. It will be played with exchanging colors of original match.
