He had a bout scheduled against Asahifuji that he failed to show up for, so it counts as a loss (albeit one by default) instead of an absence. Nothing odd about it.

53 by my count. Top half of maegashira was a disaster (5 points scored in M1-8...) but I managed to get M9-16 perfect with the exception of switching Chiyoshoma and Daiamami.

First kachikoshi for me! With that said, I completely blew the ozeki placements, so I'm still disappointed in myself for losing those points. I must gambarize and further develop my brand of GTBing...

Thankfully I managed to get my entry in yesterday during one of the moments when sumogames was still up... Not optimistic at all (like usual), but we'll see what happens.

There's a seperate thread for Ura, but one of the coaches at his stable posted a day or two ago that the earliest he'll be back is July.

Yes, which is why he's preparing for Nagoya, not Natsu...

37 points...honestly about what I expected, though I was preparing for complete disaster. With that said, not keeping Hokutofuji as a maegashira instead of K2e seems to have cost me an extra 11 points and four GTB wins...

Chrome and Firefox both seem to be working fine with S9 on my end, at least. I try to pretend IE and Edge don't exist, so not checking those. Also I randomly checked a few other sherming channels and didn't really see anything out of the ordinary.

Makekoshi'd by two points. Oh well. At the very least I'm the best of the newcomers.

Fair enough, I hadn't actually seen anything about him switching back. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

so what happened to that black mawashi Takayasu was supposed to be switching to, he's been wearing the lightest-blue-ever one the last two days

One of these days I'm going to not forget when the basho starts...came in right after Ura-Endo. And oh boy Takayasu and Goeido already dropping matches against maegashira, that probably doesn't bode well.

I've never entered officially, but I've been predicting the banzuke on my own for the last few basho. For the most part, I'm awful at it, but I think I actually did pretty well this time. I managed to get Y-M6 perfect, save for switching around the M2s. After M7e, it all went wrong, but I managed a few hits here and there. If I'm calculating my score correctly, I believe I would have had 53 points from this. Maybe I should come up with a proper shikona and actually enter next basho
