Uzbekistan Wins First Medal At World Sumo Championships
shimodahito replied to Gaijingai's topic in Amasumo Discussions
I'm struggling to find the results of all the matches at the World Sumo Championships. If anyone has, please share. -
Onosato was a bit unlucky, but I don't want to belittle Wakatakakage's part in resisting the onslaught. In the end Onosato has also been somewhat lucky in a few previous bouts so it kinda evens out. I still hope he takes the ozeki rank in style with a yusho.

Day 12 Standings
-
Since the topic is absences, in my opinion no kyujo should count for a win or a loss in any game. I'm talking from the point of view of a 12h difference from Japan so when the kyujo announcements are released it would be between 1-2 AM in Brazil. It's just too big of a disadvantage.

UGH. Knocked myself out on day 10 trying to set up my tiebreaker for the yusho among what was still a large crowd. If my tiebreaker were bad to begin with, I'd still be cruising. Grats, Choc! At least Panda didn't win either. He's getting enough points already.
-
To be fair, Nishikigi was the destroyer of worlds a few basho back. He's not an opponent to take lightly.

Day 13 Onosato Wakatakakage Ryuden
-
Three Jonokuchi rikishi join the basho ahead of Day 13 in order to stay on the banzuke: Jk5w Raiho Jk11w Minorufuji Jk12w Gonoumi Raiho and Gonoumi will fight each other on Day 13, both having been injured during the Hatsu basho and absent since. Déjà vu for Minorufuji, who will fight Jk17e Wakasasaki - still seeking his first career win - for the second basho in a row on Day 13. Assuming they don't retire, the following rikishi will be banzuke-gai for the Kyushu basho: Jk2e Nishikiori Jk4e Arise - suffered a bad knee injury during the Haru basho. Jk8w Satotanaka - no longer shown on the Nishiiwa-beya site, so he likely will be on the intai list. Jk9w Kokiryu Jk13e Michihaya - Onomatsu-beya reported that he is having treatment for a chronic illness. Jk13w Fujihara Jk16w Seiseigo

Looks like he was under the white tassel (the non-timekeeper seat) for both shifts, accounting for his lack of experience. He was taking it seriously and said his hip hurt afterwards due to sitting too rigidly in the same position. Futagoyama-oyakata (former Ozeki Miyabiyama) is also absent now due to an injury near the lower back - his replacement is Wakafuji-oyakata (former Maegashira Otsukasa).
-
He should have studied the technique of the guy who beat Wakatakakage yesterday ... uh (checks notes) ... Nishikigi.

This is a very interesting conversation. Different games have different rules, and it's true that some are more punishing than others in case of absence (or have no droning options). I think I've only missed a Tipspiel day and it happened (obviously) in a basho when I was doing quite well. It's annoying when I see rikishi absences affecting UDH or Hoshitori Or Paper in ways that aren't convenient to my placement at that time, but I accept it in the spirit of unpredictability and 'unfairness' that is sumo. Odd Sumo is the last game I play every day - I find it easier this way and it's also not too bad if I miss a day (sometimes I just can't decide). I play Tipspiel, Sumo Game and Bench first - they require the longest 'thinking' (and fun) and the decisions I make determine my choices in other games too. This makes it less likely for me to miss a day. I wouldn't play if my circumstances wouldn't allow me to almost never miss a day. If unforeseeable circumstances make me miss one, they preoccupy me more than my (most time unimpressive) Tipspiel ranking. Here's a possible personal solution though: one could write a script that automatically selects and orders Tipspiel rikishi based on e.g. Odd Sumo, and automatically posts it in the forum!

... including slapping while pulling, and blood. Thanks for tagging that match.

Incredible survival by Wakatakakage, first on the tachiai blast that sent him to the edge, then the pushdown attempt where he was nearly bent in half. He went from ragdoll to winner - up there with his playoff escape vs Takayasu. Onosato may be wondering to himself how he lost that one....he looked very explosive and I'm still inclined to pick him over Kotozakura for day 13.
-
Wakatakakage, you beauty!

This is an interesting discussion and analysis. For the daily games, I always thought there was a disadvantage by which time zone a player lives in. I"ve lived on three continents and working on picks either before work or after work were different. In some places I was more likely to miss a deadline. I don't want to use the word punishment, but it would be interesting to see which time zone produces the most successful players.

Tsurugisho's return means there are no mandatory cross division bouts between juryo and makushita tomorrow. -
