[Tekken] What exactly are the rules to the 'King of Iron Fist' Tournament?

As you all know the Mishima Zaibatsu often runs this martial arts competition and it is clearly very popular as it attracts the best talent as from around the globe. However the fights seem to take place at random locations: I.E streets, woods, ancient temples and there is never a referee or rarely even a crowd present to validate the results, also Weapons are seeming allowed as are robots and bears, are there any rules at all? If not who decides the winners of the fights and who fights who?
How is it organised? are there any restrictions? How comes the Mishima clan keep on winning (suspicious, right?). Can anyone enter or only the best?

The King of the Iron Fist Tournament is a world wide phenomenon, breaking viewing figures around the world and making celebrities of its contestants. 

The tournament itself grew out from the popular sports of MMA and boxing and became something larger, more spectacular and, on the surface, more deadly. 

The fights consist of a best of three series of fights, ending when one of the fighters is knocked out, or after a time limit, at which point the fighter who has taken fewer hits is declared the winner. 

The tournament proceeds in knock-out fashion with brackets so that certain fighters are kept separate, meaning not all fighters must be defeated to win. Where the KOTIF tournament really separates itself though is in the later rounds, where after defeating the other fighters there is often a giant monster of some sort that must also be defeated. The monster is not required to compete in the early rounds and if one fighter is defeated then another is sometimes allowed to have a go. 

This has resulted in controversy, as in the third year when Paul Phoenix defeated an Ogre and departed, not knowing that the Ogre was to transform into a secondary form, which Jin Kazama defeated, making him the actual winner (although Paul had won all his fights) but then Heihachi Mishima declared himself the winner anyway. 

Heihachi Mishima, who is pretty much the Vince McMahon of the KOTIF tournament has won quite a lot. Again, much like Vince. In fact, the WWE did suddenly go under just before the KOTIF tournament started and despite there being weapons and it being "deadly" all the fighters are there, year after year, wearing bright costumes and with special entrances and so forth...
