I understand that technically it might be a bit complicated to cover three substitutes within the same Basho, but solving this problem by simply changing the rules in this situation leaves a bad aftertaste. Ganzohnesushi

Hoshitori results mon-ii Just saw the results from Hoshitori. I guess it is a mono-ii. My substitute Wakatakakage correctly stepped in on Days 4-6 for Kotoshogiku and on Days 11 and 12 for Kiribayama. Why did he not step in as a subsitute for Terunofuji on days 14 and 15? Wakatakakage won on Day 15, i.e. I'm missing 12 points. @Doitsuyama please check what went wrong here. Thx. Ganzohnesushi

It seems the final scores on the Banzuke were not corrected. @Nantonoyama Please check. Ganzohnesushi

It was not my intention to be unfriendly or even insulting. Not at all. But it seems you didn't get my first statement that the effect is much smaller than you might assume. I might lose a couple of SB masters points points also (e.g. Oracle, Salarycap, Hoshitori) and so do others. And believe me, I randomly checked this. So while you think you might lose 15-20 points I guess the effect will be in the area of 5-10 points only. Ganzohnesushi

No need to explain anything, I know exactly what you mean here as I'm more or less in the same situation. But your whining/complaining or whatever it should be really reminded me of that Weini from Belgium playing Sumo games some 10 years ago - Vikanohara Ganzohnesushi

Do you really think you are the only one? Terunofuji was my topkick in almost ALL pre basho games (except UDH of course) and I'm sure there are one or even two dozen other players in the same situation. Yes, we all lost points compared to those who didn't have picked Teru in the top positions but I believe in the end the effect is much smaller than you assume. Best of luck for Senshuraku!

Wow, on Day 11 Joaoiyama scored the maximum of 39 points, i.e. all his 13 picked Rikishi lost (or are already kyujo). Omedeto. Ganzohnesushi

Lost more and more ground on the last few days, but a few strong results will compensate a bit. In detail: Dailies Chain out on day 1 - after slipping from #1 to #3 in the ranking already last time I will surely drop out of the Top 10. Meh. Odd - after a small win on day 12 I'm not far away from the KK line. Would be happy with 8-7. ISP 3-9 - At least the downward trend is stopped since two days. SG 3-9 - Not that I'm picking very well this Basho but having AAD opponents on 11/12 days is insane. While Makuuchi average is at 75,1 my daily opponents scored 82 points. BS 7-5 - winning streak was stopped today but 7-5 after 1-4 I need just one mor win for KK. S4 5-7 - Three hard days to come... TTT 10-2 - Sitting in the drivers seat. 2 wins ahead plus better TB. Excellent position for my 3rd Yusho in this game. Toto 6-6 - comedy on Day 11 when my picks did not come through and I forgot to check my confirmation mails. In the end I would be glad with 8-7. DST - was co-leader after Day 6. 2 x 0 on days 9 and 10 and I'm back to average. Pre-Basho JG – shared #28, what looked promising in the first few days is just average now. POG - ranked #21, Kotoshogiku returning and not going kyujo again costs me better ranking and a few SB masters points. OBG - ranked #22. Not far behind but I don't expect any SB masters points. NC - #4 after Day 11, but I'll get no points for Yusho. Potential for SB masters points. UDH - #1 after Day 10, 9 points ahead. Scored solid 27 points on Days 11 +12 each, i.e. I should not lose too much ground. My 3rd UDH Yusho seems possible. TH - ranked #10. Potential for SB masters points. RS - lost ground and dropped to MK territory as #46. SCS - shared #6. A Tobizaru Yusho would be nice... Potential for SB masters points. S-O - still a bit early, but here is some hope for a few SB masters points. Best chances in TTT and UDH, I should finish somewhere between 35 and 55 SB masters points. Ganzohnesushi

Yes, especially TTT and UDH are looking extremely promising. In TTT a 9-2 after Day 11 and only 4 chasers at 7-4 (two of them with a significant worse TB) raises hopes for the big fish. And 9 points ahead of the field after 10 days is a nice intermediate result in UDH. Today was not that bad with 27 points but I expect lower scores in the next days as many of the weaker Rikishi will be scheduled against each other, thus the winners will not contribute to the score. Not expecting so much from Norizo Cup as I won't get 100 points for the correct Yusho prediction. Finishing somewhere between 5th and 8th seems realistic. And slapstick in Seki-Toto today. Obviously my picks went not through and today of all days I forgot to check the confirmation mail. Would have had 21-10 today, i.e. a win. This might cost me a fraction of SB masters points. Damn. Ganzohnesushi

Grrrrr.... Tsurugisho was robbed today. That was never ever a hairpull. Ganzohnesushi

After Day 9 a few good chances for SB masters points have faded away, but there is still a lot of potential. In detail: Dailies Chain out on day 1 - after slipping from #1 to #3 in the ranking already last time I will surely drop out of the Top 10. Meh. Odd - 9 bets, 8 losses. But I'm not far away from the KK line. Would be happy with 8-7. ISP 1-8 - LOL, ranked #162 among 163 players, what a shame. SG 3-6 - sub par picking plus daily aites doing well. Let's minimize the damage. BS 5-4 - nice turnaround from 1-4. Watch me flying to 11-4, but as I'm ranked in Juryo there is no chance for SB masters points. S4 3-6 - Meh. TTT 7-2 - Sitting in the drivers seat. Potential for SB masters points. Toto 6-3 - picking well in Juryo but Makuuchi costs me big, nevertheless there is potential for SB masters points. DST - haha, was co-leader after Day 6. With today's donut I dropped to #15. Pre-Basho JG – shared #16, but with Ikioi and Mitoryu in my team I'm losing ground every day. POG - ranked #11, just 1 point behind #10. Potential for SB masters points. OBG - shared #5. Potential for SB masters points. NC - #2 after Day 8, but I'll get neither points for Yusho nor for bonus. Potential for SB masters points. UDH - #6 after Day 4. Scored 30+ four days in a row since then. Potential for SB masters points. TH - shared #4. Still I can hardly believe it. Potential for SB masters points. RS - lost ground and dropped to #34. SCS - shared #10 after 8 days. Suddenly there is potential for SB masters points. S-O - way too early, but here is some hope for a few SB masters points. Best chances in TTT and UDH, I could finish somewhere between 20 and 60 SB masters points. Ganzohnesushi

Don't worry too much. As everyone else in KK territory in Juryo can be expected finishing 8-7 only, you still will climb up a couple of ranks. As usual we can expect approx. 8 Rikishi being demoted from Makuuchi, thus you may jump from J2e to M12 or so... Now take care and don't slip from KK to MK Ganzohnesushi
