Turn The Tide - Banzuke Aki 2013

[Jakusotsu 5,756]

I am very happy to announce the first promotion to Yokozuna in this rather young game. Kitakichiyama became the first Ozeki last November after a string of two consecutive jun-yusho, and the very same feat (10-5 in Natsu and 12-3 in Nagoya) will grant him the highest rank now. Congratulations, Yokozuna Kitakichiyama, for a well-deserved promotion! (Dohyo-iri...) (Applauding...) (I am not worthy...)

Again, the KK border had to be lowered in Juryo and Makushita. 7-8 is considered KK there for banzuke purposes. (If the high-scoring in the upper Makuuchi echelons continues, I might have to consider a reduction of wins next time.)

Last time the Kanto-sho, now Gino-sho, woohoo ! (Second prize...)

I gave up a possible Jun-Yusho for it, but couldn't know that.
