The leaderboard. As we get to the end of the tournament, that matters more. 10. takakeisho. (To avoid going BG. I'm still hopeful that I'll have time during the July basho to play.)

That would be wakatakakage and wakatakafuji :) (or maybe wakatafufuji...)

Just checked 2021, looks right. For my own amusement: 2022 Hatsu Y Terunofuji → M3 Tamawashi (6) → S Mitakeumi (7) → M4 Hokutofuji (10) → Present Day GKA's hero is also Ranfurly champion :)

2020 Hatsu M5 Enho → M4 Shodai (2) → O Goeido (7) → K Abi (8) → S Takayasu (10) → O Goeido (11) → S Asanoyama (12) → End (Goeido only won 5 bouts this tournament!)

2011 Hatsu Y Hakuho -> S Kisenosato (11) -> O1 Baruto (13) -> Y Hakuho (14) -> End Here's the scandal cancellations. In the not-a-basho: Y Hakuho -> O2 Harumafuji (13) -> End. But that clearly doesn't count, since it's not a basho. Nagoya Y Hakuho -> S Kotoshogiku (11) -> M4 Okinoumi(13) -> S Kisenosato (14) -> End. If we admit that the not-a-basho was a basho, we wind up in the same place, with Kise defeating Harumafuji on day 15 Aki S Kisenosato -> O1 Baruto (9) -> M11 Gagamaru (11) ?? - > S Kotoshogiku (12) -> O1 Baruto (15) Kyushu O Baruto -> K Toyonoshima (1!) -> S Kisenosato (3) -> M1 Goeido (5) -> M2 Tochinoshin (7) -> O1 Harumafuji (8) -> S Kakuryu (11) -> M1 Goeido (14) -> M6 Aminishiki (15) Ending the year on an interesting note with the day 1 loss by Baruto.

As you can resubmit at any time, your protest is noted but ignored :)

I'm in the wind up to moving house and thought I could get through this basho beforehand. Turns out, no. I'll be absent for the remainder of the basho.

Jeez. Didn't one of the foreigners already wait three years? Poor kid.
