Making Norizo Cup banzuke

NC banzuke making

At first,

The result written 13-2,12-3,......,2-13.

But in making banzuke, it is subdivided 0.25.

8-7 players who nearly 9-6 go up much.

8-7 players who nearly 7-8 go up little.

For example,

player A gets 550 point, and player B gets 510 point.

They are written same "8-7".

But A are treated 8.25 win 6.75 lost.

B are treated 7.75 win 7.25 lost.

Next,

In Makunouchi players go 1 rank up/down for 1 win/lost over than lost/win.

(sorry my funny English)

Ex)

8-7:M5->M4,

5-10:M3->M8,

6.5-8.5:M9->M11,

7.75-7.25:M6e->M5w

In Juryo 2 rank up for 1 win over than lost.

Ex)

9-6:J12->J6,

4.5-10.5:J3->ms1,

8.25-6.75:J7->J4

In makushita 3 rank up for 1win over than lost.

Ex)

10-5:ms14->J13,

5.5-9.5:ms2->ms14,

10.75-4.25:ms8w->J3e

So in makunouchi it is difficult to big jump up.

The other side in makushita it is easy to big jump up.

My intention is newcomers jump up rapidly.

It is a general rule.

Every basho some exceptions happen.

So Lucky and unlucky often occur.

8-7 is no guarantee of going up.

Many 9-6 or 10-5 players exist just under you, you maybe down.

For example,pleyer who seen 8-7(treated 7.5-7.5) M5w ->M6e.

M2e13-2 -> Sw10-5 -> Se11-4 O (9+10+11)

Ke11-4 -> Se12-3 -> Se9-6 X (Not 10 wins last basho)

Se12-3 -> Se7-8 -> Sw12-3 X (include "Makekoshi(7-8)")

4, 2 continuous Yusho(every rank)

[Norizo 0]

Ozeki demotion

1,4-11 or less

2, 2 continuous Makekoshi(7-8 or less)

I forget another rule.

I add to demotion

3, 3 or more Makekoshi(7-8 or less) in last 6 basho.

Ex)ex-Ozeki GONZABROW (2007.5 ~ 2008.3)

9-6, 6-9, 9-6, 6-9, 9-6, 7-8

He demoted to Sekiwake in 2008.05.

So NC Ozeki is needed 4 or more Kachikoshi in every 6 basho.
