What happens if...

[eciq 0]

I am NOT an 'guess the banzuke' expert. I wonder what would happen if

for example the basho ends with following results ---->

Sekiwake ---- Miyabiyama (9-6) Kotomitsuki (9-6)

Komusubi ---- Kisenosato (9-6) Kokkai (9-6)

Maegashira 1 --Baruto (11-4) Roho (10-5)

it is all sekiwake, komusubi and M1 ends with good kachi-koshi.

If Baruto's 11-4 is with jun-yusho is it possible he can get any

promotion in situation above?

It looks like a situation when all six end this basho with good KK

is very likely

There is no restriction on the number of Komusubi and Sekiwake. Given your highly unlikely outcome, my gut feel would be that Baruto gets Sekiwake and Roho gets Komusubi. Everyone else stays at their same rank. We will never know.

Thank You Asojima.

I guess I should maybe ask myself first before I post when a quetion arise in my head :-) I DO feel

little stupid. I have been following sumo for some years so I should know better. To my defence I

can only say it was some bashos ago we had more than two sekiwake or komosubi (Hatsu 05 I think)

As for my predictions the numbers I gave was just an example so they maybe are highly unlikely but the

outcome with all six KK is quite likely. Roho is almost there. Both komusubis having 4:4 after first

week is VERY promising. Kotomitsuki is only 2 wins away from his trademark 8:7. I doubt Bart will

go MK. This leaving only Miyabiyama have to do his duty. I believe he will (Dohyo-iri...) So I think we will have

a bigger sanyaku next basho :-)

I think it'd be more likely for both to go to Komusubi in that scenario. 11-4 is the minimum record it takes for a Komusubi to force a promotion to Sekiwake, so for Maegashira->Sekiwake it ought to take at least 12-3...probably even 13-2 with today's strict promotion standards.

I my long history of sumo watching (Clapping wildly...)

the promotion of a third Komosubi or Sekiwake was very strict and if i remember correctly only made two times to give Tochiazuma a Sekiwake slot. Given this expeience i am not quite sure, if Roho and Baruto get promoted.

Think it's about time for you to update your sig line...
