Does the chunin exam ends with only one winner?


In the anime, they had a sheet where the participants' names were written for
the finals of the chunin exam.

If Orochimaru along with the sand and Sound ninjas, had not attacked Konoha
during the chunin finals, would the exam finish with one winner by having 2
semi finals and a final after the Gaara vs Sasuke match?




It is explained by _Sandaime Hokage_ that, though there is one winner of the
tournament, it doesn't guarantee that he will become a _chunin_.

He also explained that there can be more than one _chunin_ from an exam and
there can be none too.

If there was only one _chunin_ per exam, it would have been impossible for all
of Naruto's friends to become _chunin_ after his 3 years of training with
_Jiraiya_.
