I guess we are at 4. I am thinking that it will make a more interesting basho next time, with a larger variety of guesses. We will see whether the best players can perform under the more difficult conditions. To borrow an expression from English football.... ""But can they do it on a cold rainy night in Stoke"?

I found the rules here. Once chosen, that rikishi will remain the subject of the game until any of the following happens... 1. the rikishi retires 2. the rikishi gets promoted to Ozeki 3. the rikishi will be (or is likely to be) kyujo at the start of a basho 3. the rikishi drops out of Makunouchi 4. the rikishi spends more than two consecutive basho ranked below the joi-jin (roughly M5 and below) 5. there is a surge of opinion among players that we should change the rikishi 6. any other reason that may arise, that I can't think of at present

Hi everyone! Here are the updated standings for the Zentoryu Quality of Sumo Award for 2020 after the March 2020 basho. This is the combined results of the ZQoSA from May 2019 to January 2020. It reads like this..... Current ZQoSA position - (Change from after January 2020) - Rank on the March 2020 banzuke - shikona - Total ZQoSA points from the previous 6 bashos - (points gain from after March 2020, basically March 2020 minus January March). Yassier moves to the top of the standings! Flohru is just a point behind. Konosato and fujiyama are new entries to the top 10. Itachi is not only the yusho winner, and the best for ZQoSA this basho, he is also the biggest climber (15 positions) in the rankings. Over-and-out! Jejima Sanyaku level 1.

Kuroimori has been 'coasting' of late. He will be asked to up his game in May, otherwise he may too be set targets in the future. Gurowake's absence is of concern, we really (real world really) hope that he is fine, and hope to see him competing in May. chishafuwaku will be considered for promotion to Yokozuna with a Yusho or good Jun-Yusho in May. Ryoshishokunin met the target set, and has been accordingly promoted to Ozeki. Omedetou!
