Zentoryu 152 Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) Scoring was very tight in all four divisions, producing very few good W/L records. There was only one player in either Makuuchi or Juryo who finished better than 10-5 and only two players in Makushita and Jonokuchi to have records better than 5-2. It's the second straight basho this has happened. I can only assume that this is because of the trend towards players having very similar picks to one another. Divisional KK/MK dividing lines: Makuuchi: 1392.67 Juryo: 1376.63 Makushita: 1344.84 Jonokuchi: 1315.86 The Perfect Team: Y: Asashoryu 243 points O: Harumafuji 181 S: Baruto 229 K: Kakuryu 129 M1-M4: Kisenosato 155 M5-M8: Aminishiki 167 M9-M12: Tosayutaka 126 M13-M16: Toyohibiki 150 J1-J4: Okinoumi 80 J5-J9: Masatsukasa 63 J10-J14: Gagamaru 76 ----------------------------- Total Points 1599 Yusho Winners Division Shikona # Makuuchi: Pastanoyama (M7E) 2nd Juryo: Konizan (J12W) 2nd (5th overall) Makushita: Kameumi (ms7W) 2nd (2nd straight) Jonokuchi: Zeokage (jk4E) 2nd Tiebreakers: none Shukun-Sho winners Division Shikona 100+ Days Makuuchi: Pastanoyama (M7E) 8 1st * Juryo: Konizan (J12W) 7 1st ** Makushita: Kameumi (ms16W) 9 2nd *** Jonokuchi: Shimodahito (jk17E) 8 1st Tiebreakers: * - Pastanoyama wins over Konosato by virtue of most overall points tiebreaker. ** - Konizan wins 7-way tiebreaker by virtue of having the most overall points. ***- Kameumi wins over Fukurou and Mariotoki by virtue of most overall points tiebreaker Gino-Sho winners Division Shikona Day Score Makuuchi: Hironoumi (M12W) 5 147 1st Juryo: Kaiguma (J10W) 5 147 1st * Makushita: Troetibono (ms6E) 5 150 1st Jonokuchi: Gunterao (jk16E) 12 148 2nd Tiebreakers: Kaiguma wins over Kabakyodai by virtue of most overall points tiebreaker. Kanto-Sho winners: Division Shikona Day Score Makuuchi: Anjoboshi (M14W) 13 39.31 1st Juryo: Kitakachiyama (J5W) 2 38.00 1st Makushita: ScreechingOwl (ms18E) 3 46.58 1st Jonokuchi: Gunterao (jk16E) 12 56.32 1st Tiebreakers: none Makuuchi: Pastanoyama captured the top division Yusho, his second in the last three tournaments. Pasta-san also took home the Shukun-sho via tiebreaker, the first of the M7's top division career. Konosato takes runner-up honors, with Hironoumi and Anjoboshi take home the Gino-Sho and Kanto-Sho respectively. We had two kadoban Ozeki entering the basho, Randomitsuki and Jejima. Random-san was able to save his rank with a 9-6 performance. Jejima wasn't so fortunate, missing KK with a 7-8 mark. So the Bench Sumo boss' stay at the top rank of RotoSumo was a short lived one. He can, of course, return with 10 wins next basho. Of the 4 rikishi who were Ozeki promotion candidates entering the tournament, Flohru was the only one to achieve the number of wins necessary for promotion. His 9 equivalent wins giving him 30 over the last three basho, the minimum required for promotion. So the S1 will be moving up next tournament to replace Jejima at that rank. Juryo: Konizan captured the Juryo crown for the second time in his/her career, the 5th RotoSumo Yusho overall for this player. Konizan won by a scant 8 points over runner up Kaiguma, who himself finished only 3 points ahead of 3rd place Metzinowaka in what was, like in Makuuchi, a very tight scoring tournament that saw no one in Juryo finish better than 10-5. Konizan also captured the Shukun-Sho via tiebreaker, while Kaiguma and Kitakachiyama took home the Gino-Sho and Kanto-Sho respectively. There are only three openings in Makuuchi, so Juryo players shouldn't expect mass promotions this basho, with only Vikanohara, Nomadwolf and Susanoo in a position to make the trip up to the top division. Makushita: Kameumi managed a rare feat in this game, capturing a divisional crown for a second straight tournament. The Ms7w followed up last basho's Makushita championship (won via the earliest entry for identical teams tiebreaker) with another first place finish, this time edging Ruziklao by 9 points. Kameumi also laid claim to the Shukun-Sho via tiebreaker. Troetibono took home the Gino-Sho, while ScreechingOwl claimed the Kanto-Sho. Jonokuchi: Zeokage is your Jonokuchi Champion for Hatsu 2010, the second time he's laid claim to the bottom division title. Shimodahito captured the Shukun-Sho while Gunterao, the Yusho runner-up, swept the Gino-Sho and Kanto-Sho.

Kameumi 1 Posted January 25, 2010 Yay! I love this game! 2'nd straight Makushita Yusho and Shukun-Sho! ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zentoryu 152 Posted January 25, 2010 I fixed a mistake in the first post. I accidentally awarded the Juryo Kanto-Sho to Kabakyodai, who was ineligible due to being MK. So the real winner is Kitakachiyama. Sorry to both players for the confusion. What makes me mad is I actually made a notation in my spreadsheet about this so I wouldn't forget when posting the results and I still screwed up. ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kaiguma 0 Posted January 27, 2010 Wow, very happy to get my first (?) sansho, and runner-up is not bad. I only regret that the term jun-yusho is not usually applied to Juryo, ah well. Maybe since we all got 10-5 I can feel like it was a yusho-doten? Thanks Zentoryu for kicking off another year of a fantastic game (Sign of approval...)

Kofuji 0 Posted January 30, 2010 How much more can I fall down the banzuke before I have to intai to avoid besmirching the rank of Ozeki ;-) I have obviously lost my touch or everyone caught on how to play the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zenjimoto 40 Posted January 31, 2010 How much more can I fall down the banzuke before I have to intai to avoid besmirching the rank of Ozeki (Flying a plane...) I have obviously lost my touch or everyone caught on how to play the game. I think you should stay, if nothing else so we can hear you use the word "besmirch" again! (Sign of approval...)
