Zenjimoto 40 Posted October 27, 2003 J10E M10E! I must nitpick whenever I can. (Shaking head...) :-( (Oops! ) No disrespect to Dejima & Yotsukasa. Global replace those "J"s with "M"s. Might be applicable for next basho, though. : (Shaking head...) :-( I said it before, and I still think that, like any self-respecting Ozeki, Dejima would probably retire before going to Juryo... which would be a great, great shame. I think he will be fighting for his career in Kyushu (Shaking head...) I hope he gets 11-4, and catapults out of the danger zone... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zentoryu 154 Posted October 27, 2003 I was a bit surprised by Dejima's plummet of 4.5 slots (count each E/W as .5) on a 6-9 record at J10E. Normally, he would have ended up around J13E (or even J12W -- 6-9's tend to get "derated"). Instead he ended up at J14W. Is the NHK sending a message to the former Ozeki?My guess is that they wanted to reward Tamakasuga for the 10-5 at J01E. T'kasuga definitely deserved the bump up he got, but there is precedence for J01E to move to up only one slot. Whe in doubt, I guess, give the KK the move up... Same thing probably happened to Yotsukasa (a 2-slot drop with a 7-8) to give Toyozakura a little breathing room as a shin-maku. Well, Takekaze and Takanowaka didn't go up as far as they could have, due to the road block around M10. So I'm guessing the Kyokai wanted to push them up as far as they could, thus favoring them over the rikishi on their way down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kotoseiya Yuichi 3 Posted October 28, 2003 While waiting for Nekonishiki-zeki's excellent banzuke pages to appear, I noticed the Spaniards have the whole banzuke up already. (Clapping wildly...)

Yoavoshimaru 0 Posted October 28, 2003 I'll start tossing coins to decide close promotions. (Welcome...) I've been doing that since June 1878. There actually would be a formula for all this stuff...?!?!? :-D (Applauding...) (Clapping wildly...) You are older than I thought, Kotoseiya-zeki :-D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
