Kaito

Pretty stoked overall, but I just realized Ura losing to Hakuoho on the final day, cost me a lot of points across all the games. I think more than 20. TTT was unfortunate too. It felt the yusho was right there in front of me for the whole 2nd half but I couldn't manage a single win, and of course Panic ended up pulling away, winning with unique picks over and over. Still, I had plenty go my way. Really happy to check ISP and Tippspiel yusho off my list. I've been horrific at Tippspiel for years, but I've been on a hot streak there lately. I've had a surprising amount of chances to yusho ISP before, but I've always needed to pick the underdog on the last day, and it's never hit. With so many players, you never know when you'll get another chance.

In it to win it.

Shouldn't this be graded as Yes?

Everybody wants to go to London.

Lost a 40+ point Odd Sumo payout on Nishikigi's Isamiashi today. Of course, I've had 2 other 40+ point bets lose on the last leg this basho, but it's been that way all year. And it's crazy...I mostly pick 3 underdog rikishi, but I've only lost all legs of a bet once this year, back in March. Instead of winning all legs some days and losing all legs other days, it's been a constant mismatch of results.

Bench: 4 Onosato 3 Kotozakura 3 Ura 2 Mitakeumi 2 Aonishiki Tobizaru Kusano Wakatakakage Fujinokawa Daieisho TTT: Meisei to win, Hiradoumi to lose I'll just take the losses on the rest.

Oh, I was 45th out of 87 in the first place.

I thought the drone would slot in behind me and make me 44th out of 88 instead of 44th out of 87?

Whoa, this personally affects me. Hey, let's get this drone fixed and applied retroactively, stat!

Day 5 bug in Bench again, of course.

There's a mistake with the 3rd matchup. You accidentally named Wakatakakage as Wakamotoharu. I'll just answer as if you wrote Wakatakakage. It's easy to understand what you intended, so I think it's okay to keep the question as long as you fix it quickly, but I'll leave that decision up to you!

In for a good time.

I can't understand how I didn't get Tippspiel picks in yesterday. And it had to happen on the only day I didn't watch live. Otherwise, I probably would've pulled up my picks before makuuchi started and realized they inexplicably weren't there. I would've scored 13 points and been tied for 3rd overall. Now I'm just out. Buncha world championship points down the drain.

I'm confused. Doesn't Oho make the answer Yes?

I'll share my interpretation. It's saying we'll reach a state where nobody remains undefeated in Juryo, THEN one where nobody remains undefeated in the Maegashira ranks, followed by one where nobody in the sanyaku ranks remains undefeated. If more than one such condition is reached on the same day, the order of the matches will determine which happens first.
