    I don't know anything about Myogiryu, but Kakuryu is kyujo from Day 8 according to Kyodo, giving Tamawashi his second fusensho of the basho.

     

     

    This is incorrect, he has joined the basho having been absent from the start, fighting Furanshisu on Day 8.

    Thank you

    Which "strength to retire in time " exactly you're praising a 40-year-old for whose orthopaedically fortified body was finally busted for good escapes me...

    I apparently misquoted slightly, but this is what I was referring to when I wrote about "finally finding the strength to retire", from the upthread interview:

    Quote

    On his retirement  "I finally found the strength to stop. There are some regretful parts of course but I did what I had to do. I've accepted it all so as a result I don't feel any regret. I went to the hospital to get advice about my knee but I can't do the sumo I have in mind anymore so I thought it'd be unreasonable to continue"

    Long needed, and I congratulate him on his decision after such a long and illustrious career. In his retirement interview (upthread) he said something about finally finding the strength to retire. So many athletes have this problem, hanging it up when it's time. Good for him for finding that strength, and good luck in this next phase of his career.

    How  were the points determined for the sub for yusho if they weren't active? 

    I was lucky - the sub was in the active line-up at the time so got points for that spot (I don't remember where he was, but say if he was in the 7 point spot then I got 21 bonus points). I had asked the question about getting those points because he wasn't in the lineup I'd originally selected.

    Sansho are easy - if the sub is active or not, add 10 points if he wins a sansho.  Yusho are complicated - if the sub is active, give him triple the points for the position he's in. If he's not active, what does he get? Some nominal amount has to be determined, but how many? 1 point because he's not in use?

    Clarification of original language - "my lineup" is what I submitted to start the basho with, my 13-1 picks, not including the sub. "My team" is "my lineup" plus the sub.

    FWIW here's my experience datapoints for the collection. I've had a few times where A withdrew, sub replaced him, A came back, sub went out of play, B withdrew, sub replaced him. Once or twice A came back after B withdrew and sub moved from A to B. I've also had a sub (in play or not) yusho or sansho and did receive full points for sub (3 extra wins for a yusho). I did ask about that because sub wasn't in my lineup and was told he got points because he was on my team. One thing I don't recall was how much manual manipulation this required, if any.
