    Bench Sumo news

    I know messing with code is not something for transitory fixes but we may not be looking at a transitory problem. Even if promoted does anyone see Hoshoryu as a dominant Yokozuna? Is there a "dominant" yokozuna on the horizon? Or the likelihood of multiple yokozuna for a significant length of time? A dominant Yokozuna doesn't help much anyway. Almost everyone picked a healthy Hakuho even with 3 good Yokozuna. The Yokozuna pick has pretty much been dictated for a very long time now. The solution may be just to group the Yokozuna and Ozeki together and allow players to pick 2 from those. I've thought this might be a good idea for a while now in games that force a ranked pick, like RotoSumo.
  2. Give him a break, he started facing the Sanyaku the second week. His only egregious loss was to Takarafuji. Considering his age and doing so well this high I think they give him it so he can refer to himself as a former Komusubi when he retires. It is his first KK at M5 or above.

    Perhaps I worded this poorly. My intent was to convey you have people running up and down the banzuke instead of people siting near the top in a position to make Yokozuna by the old standards.

    True, but I think they are going to have to adjust things going forward. I think the era of a broad strong field are over. Even the best aren't going to be very consistent anymore it seems. I think the Ozeki Carousel lately is indicative of that. if they want any Yokozuna going forward they are going to have to be a bit less stringent.

    Takakeisho? People always look askance at perceived over achievers.

    In 2020? I would say no. in January 2023? I would say very much so. Yes, it's two 12 wins, but it was also his 3rd Yusho and November was a playoff.

    I think for Hoshuryu, barring an injury, that 13 wins is a given. The rest of the sanyaku are not having the kind of basho to suggest they'll give him issues. The only question is if it's a yusho. If it is, he's Yokozuna. I don't see 12 wins getting the yusho this basho.

    Is there something up with Quad? It showing only 3 picks for me for day 4. Can you even pick only 3? I'm pretty sure I picked 4.

    Especially when you consider he couldn't win a Makushita or Juryo Yusho.

    They never call this. I've seen Ura jump at someone to push them out and the whole top of his foot drags. They don't call it. This may be in the rule book but IMO it's not in action.
