Day 6 results and day 7 pairings

[Doitsuyama 1,178]

The last undefeated maegashira Kasugao lost not surprisingly to Takekaze, giving up the sole makuuchi lead to sekiwake Aminishiki who oshitaoshi'ed Dejima for his sixth win. Yokozuna Hakuho and the two ozeki Chiyotaikai and Kotooshu won to stay one win behind while shin-ozeki Kotomitsuki lost to sekiwake Asasekiryu for his second loss. Komusubi Ama also is at two losses as he beat young Kakuryu.

Ozeki Kaio withdrew from the basho as his leg power obviously is not recovered yet. In selecting Tochinonada for the fusen loss Kaio actually lost the shared second place for most makuuchi fusen wins, as both had nine of them and this was Tochinonada's tenth makuuchi fusensho. Dewanishiki is the leader with 11 fusensho between 1949 and 1962.

Three out of six maegashira rikishi at one loss won with Takekaze, Kyokutenho and Goeido to improve to 5-1. Roho had a weak bout against Tamanoshima and dropped to 3-3 as did young Tochiozan with his third consecutive loss, against Iwakiyama. Tochiozan is very streaky, often having consecutive losses during his career, so he better wins again soon.

Juryo leader Baruto is 6-0 with a win against Koryu. Wakakirin and Chiyohakuho stay one win behind with wins against Wakanoho and Hoshihikari. Hakuba got his first win, against lead juryo Hochiyama who also has only one win so far. 36 years old Otsukasa lost to Tochinohana and also is stuck at 1-5.

[Yuriyama Ren 1]

Seeing Kaiou's kyuujou and fusen loss I had this question: has there ever been a bout where both rikishi have gone kyuujou? And what happens then, do both get fusen loss or a.. draw?

[aderechelsea 124]

they cannot make this decision at the exact same time, so the one who decides second just limps on the dohyo and gets the gumbai .... B-)

Seeing Kaiou's kyuujou and fusen loss I had this question: has there ever been a bout where both rikishi have gone kyuujou? And what happens then, do both get fusen loss or a.. draw?

Yes, there has, a few times in low jonokuchi when apparently both rikishi withdrew on day 1. A more famous example was in makuuchi long ago. I believe this wasn't exactly a double kyujo though, but the rikishi weren't willing to do a appointed tori-naoshi.

And yes, both rikishi get a fusen loss in such a case.

[Yuriyama Ren 1]

Excellent.

Thank you. B-)

[Washuyama 638]

I think Futabayama's 4 losses jumped out more than the double kyujo.. Considering that basho was sandwiched by him getting two zensho-yusho's...

[Asashosakari 19,095]

Ozeki Kaio withdrew from the basho as his leg power obviously is not recovered yet. In selecting Tochinonada for the fusen loss Kaio actually lost the shared second place for most makuuchi fusen wins, as both had nine of them and this was Tochinonada's tenth makuuchi fusensho. Dewanishiki is the leader with 11 fusensho between 1949 and 1962.

And an astonishing seven of Dewanishiki's were against yokozuna. (Whistling...)

Strange set of Maku matchups. Only 4 of the East guys are going to get a win. (Holiday feeling...)

I figure/guessed 5... Tochiozan, Roho, Aminishiki, Chiyotaikai and Hakuho...

I guess Roho wasn't that hungry... ;-)

Looks like neither one of us knew what we wre talking about..... :-)

You should play Seki-Toto next basho, then you'll always know exactly how wrong you were. ;-)
