  1. 1. Mitakeumi (will Asanoyama make it to the joi within two basho?) 2. Ura (I don't think Oho will make it in time) 3. Kotonowaka 4. Daieisho 5. Midorifuji 6. Shodai 7. Hokutofuji 8. Tobizaru

    Guess Kiribayama's Aite - May 2023 edition

    Given that the game was Guess Kisenosato's Aite (GKA) before Guess Hokutofuji's Aite (GHA) and the Guess Kiribayama's Aite (GKA) I'm going with Kotonowaka for GKA and if not he then Hoshoryu for GHA.

    New recruits for Nagoya 2023

    I was hoping a heya had got a new cat.

    Break The Curse (The Nigate Game) Natsu 2023

    Congratulations to @Bunbukuchagama on the victory and to @Athenayama for dong the scores, it's a huge help to me.
  5. My understanding was that this was the gambling scandal and that most of those who were 0-0-15 were involved in that but Iwakiyama was genuinely injured as so spared. EDIT: I somehow missed page 8 and this is redundant information.
  6. Atamifuji actually calculates to J-4e, so Bushozan would be last by the `numbers'. IT's not usual for a 10-5 J3 to be denied promotion but it has happened.

    That's because you haven't.

    Guess Kiribayama's Aite - May 2023 edition

    Because he would be an Ozeki. I assume and we select a new one at that point (I think).
  9. Asanoyama was 14-1 at J12 which does compute to promotable.

    I would also be opposed to changing the deadline for Day 15 because of timezones. Also we should need a new Kisenosato Hokutofuji Kiribayama.
  11. I am going to suggest that Mitakeumi is already not going to make it, but it depends on how you feel about same rank-record-combinations. A9-6 Mitakeumi would match an 8-7 Nishikigi in rank-record combination but I would suspect that Nishikigi would be preferred as he's had more of a joi schedule. Also, Mitakeumi will be behind the winner of Abi-Ura regardless.

    There are 25 rikishi with at least 10 basho at Sekiwake since 1960. I haven't checked the runs, but as mentioned since Kaio and Kotomitsuki have long runs. Also on that list is Hasegawa, Sekiwake 21 times with runs of 8 and 7.

    There is part of me that is amused by the idea of Hoshoryu sitting as a permanent Sekiwake and being passed by a lot of other rikishi, just to see how surly he looks. This is why I'll be rooting for Daieisho and Wakamotoharu next basho.
  15. Having run this thread before myself I know the effort that goes into it.
