They moved it from October 5th for this year. 2020 still seems to be the normal date for now.

Kensho don't contribute to the mochikyukin number, those are one-time payments only (though part of the withheld amount contributes to their retirement pay). Wikipedia has a good mochikyukin article if you need an explanation.

60 yen (equivalent to a 240,000 yen payout, as shown) is the minimum mochikyukin value for those in makuuchi. Same reason the other four listed at 240 have that much, they haven't been around long enough to accrue a large-enough bonus. If any of them get demoted back to juryo, they lose the difference between their pre-promotion account and 60...which I believe in Tomokaze's case will be 13.

First top 25 placement and first time in the sixties...I'll gladly accept it, but I won't lie, I'm slightly disappointed that I got most of the big questions wrong. Still, it's a KK and progress up the GTB banzuke, I'll just have to gambarize further.

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.
