Asashosakari

Can't remember if this was brought up before, but - there are a handful of astonishing 1990s appearances in the data of kimarite that were only introduced in the year 2000, specifically one tsutaezori and four osakate. Are these transcription errors, by chance?

Yeah, that slipped my mind again, sorry. However, attempting to upload the files just now is throwing errors at me. Not sure if it's because I'm late (it has worked late before, though...), or if there's another issue. @Golynohana Attaching the files here in case it's a more significant problem to restore my upload capabilities and Golynohana needs to insert the ranks directly. 201911 S4 Upload.csv 201911 Oracle Upload.csv

That would be darkly amusing if Okinoumi ends up getting a Day 2 freebie after all...

The revised schedule for Day 2 is out, Okinoumi now faces Goeido instead of Kakuryu (among a whole host of changed matchups, obviously).

4 Hakuho 3 Shodai 3 Shimanoumi 2 Tochinoshin 2 Aoiyama Bench: Chiyotairyu Endo Tamawashi Goeido Takanosho Did the "enter as the default lineup via Day 6" thing anyway, and interestingly the confirmation screen said I could change that entry until September 13...

+ Tanakayama - Ichiyamamoto + Kotoshoho - Yuma 8 Abi + Kotonowaka + Roga - Hokutoo + Daitenma TB 11

The Day 2 schedule will likely be changed, same as when Kakuryu did this back in Haru 2015.

We're ending the 2010's with the shortest LKS ballot in nearly half a decade. These few KK-streaking rikishi await your predictions: 1. Tanakayama 8* 2. Ichiyamamoto 6 3. Kotoshoho 6 4. Yuma 6** 5. Abi 5 [score?] 6. Kotonowaka 5 7. Roga 5* 8. Hokutoo 5 9. Daitenma 5* TB: [pick?] (* marks rikishi with no makekoshi since debut, ** marks rikishi with no makekoshi since banzuke return) The scoring and thus your game assignment: For sanyaku: Please predict an exact record for each rikishi. The target record will be calculated after the deadline and will be chosen so that it bisects the predictions as evenly as possible. The predictions will then be converted into + and - votes as usual; one point for each correct prediction. For lower-ranked rikishi: Please predict for each rikishi if he will finish KK or MK; one point for each correct prediction. (For clarification: If you're expecting an outright makekoshi for one of the sanyaku high-rankers, just predict MK, exact records are only needed on the kachikoshi side of things.) First tie-breaker: From among those 9 guys up there and the further 14 rikishi (9 'veterans' and 5 newcomers) who are currently just shy of a 5-KK streak, please guess how many KK you expect in total. Your tie-breaker guess may be anything from 0 to 23. Only exactly correct guesses qualify at this tie-breaker stage. Note: Sanyaku count as correct for the tie-breaker if they achieve KK, they do not need to meet their target records. Next 8 tie-breakers if needed: Correctly predicted rikishi, one-by-one in ballot order, i.e. starting at Tanakayama. Extra tie-breakers, should two or more players have entered identical ballots: Proximity of their tie-breaker guesses to the correct number, followed by proximity of their sanyaku rikishi guesses to the correct records (one-by-one in ballot order). Final tie-breaker: earliest entry. Note: Rikishi who show up on the before-shonichi kyujo list will be excluded from scoring (even if they end up joining the basho later), so it is not necessary to re-submit your entry if you picked such a rikishi as a KK; he will not count for points anyhow. You may, however, notify me if you'd like to reduce your tie-breaker guess by one point to compensate for the "missing" rikishi. Your position on the entry list (for final tie-breaker purposes) will be deemed unchanged in this special situation. Any other changes to a ballot will be considered a new entry, with correspondingly lower priority for the final tie-breaker. Deadline: Shonichi noon JST. ----- Simplified entry template: 1. Tanakayama KKMK 2. Ichiyamamoto KKMK 3. Kotoshoho KKMK 4. Yuma KKMK 5. Abi W-L 6. Kotonowaka KKMK 7. Roga KKMK 8. Hokutoo KKMK 9. Daitenma KKMK TB xx

A new all-time* record has been set for the size of a sanyaku with rikishi from all different stables. 1932.02 7 1932.03 7 1933.01 7 1934.01 7 (+2 > 9) 1968.11 9 1992.01 8 1993.01 8 2004.01 9 2004.07 9 (+3 > 12) 2005.01 8 (+2 > 10) 2005.03 8 (+2 > 10) 2005.05 8 (+8 > 16) 2010.09 9 (+1 > 10) 2014.05 9 2014.11 10 2019.03 9 (+2 > 11) 2019.07 10 (+2 > 12) 2019.09 9 (+1 > 10) 2019.11 11 The numbers in brackets (if present) indicate how many of the highest-ranked maegashira were also from different stables, so the runaway record holder for that extended stat remains 2005.05 with the top 16 rikishi in total. * modern era since 1927, to be exact.

I really hate to nag but, all tournaments since Haru continue to be impossible to query properly for zero scores.
