Kind of an unwritten rule that gtb entries aren't posted until after the deadline. The fun part is in between the deadline and the reveal, where minute differences are argued and then we are all wrong anyway. Because Banzuke committee...

Today's half a bottle of wine thoughts, without having read today's comments: Subjective dead body rule not applied today... What even is Hokuseiho?? (his fighting style is whack, I had thoughts of 'drunken fist,' but sumo style) Takakeisho henka was not a henka. Something that never occurred to me before is that Wakamotoharu has the split second decision making ability to change tactics and make them work without looking awkward that I've mostly only seen in Yokozuna before. Not necessarily from watching just today's bout, more cumulative thinking.

That is something I've considered looking at in the past, but I never seem to have the time. Also, my standard way of playing GTB these days is to get in the mindset of the committee (i.e. have a few drinks) and see which of the several original possibilities I like the look of best

I felt good about my M1e Shodai and M6e Asanoyama M6w Ichinojo when I hit 'submit'...

Am I missing an angle, or was the Meisei / Kotoshoho call as utterly terrible as I think it was?!?

I think i certainly need a swig of magic potion to help boost me up the rankings from second bottom place currently...

Late night, so not going to look this one up myself, but has there ever been an Ozeki that never placed at O1e during their Ozeki-ship?

Thanks @Profomisakari

@Tameiki, as great as it is to be number 1, I can't remember the last time I missed a Game 21, so I'm pretty sure your numbers are incorrect for me, as I have definitely played the last 6 basho in a row...
