Itachi 396 Posted November 4, 2014 Hi Everyone,Until further notice, the game will run just as it has the last several times. I will compile the results and post them as best as I can on this thread.This is a pre-basho game where each player selects a rikishi from each of 8 sections of the banzuke. The player earns points for each win, each kachikoshi, and each yusho earned by their team of 8 rikishi. The sections of the banzuke are these:Sanyaku (Y through K)MaegashiraJuryoUpper Makushita (Ms1-15 )Lower Makushita (Ms16-60 plus tsukedashi if any)SandanmeJonidanJonokuchiThat's it! Simple to understand, difficult to master. The hallmarks of any engaging game.Please send your 8 selections to me before the beginning of action on Shonichi.Itachi: nmatsuo@shaw.ca or by pm here at the forumAs a reminder, I am only a temporary caretaker of this game until Oshirokita can address the reconstruction of his system. All banzuke, website, and records updates will be on hold until then but the game itself and results postings will continue here on this thread.Good luck with your picks.Don't forget to check the kyujo list and email any replacements that may become necessary!Itachi 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vikanohara 171 Posted November 9, 2014 Hope I can still enter here as well, with this lineup : Hakuho Myogiryu Hidenoumi Abiko Shodai Hamaguchi Ryuden SatoBeen experiencing internet drops all night long already. First day I'm using my new laptop, so perhaps some setting problem ? The choices at the bottom are pretty obvious anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Itachi 396 Posted November 9, 2014 Vikanohara's entry got to me just as I logged in to post the list of participants! Including the 2 drones, there are 15 players for this tournament (assuming I don't have another entry arriving in my inbox as I type this). Apart from Toonoryu, who's entry was posted also here, these are in order of entry. Toonoryu Itachi Mukashi (I make my picks before identifying the drone's forced picks) Jejima Profomisakari Chishafuwaku Holleshoryu Torafujii Gurowake Flohru Kuroimori Oshirokita Achiyama Genzai (Vikanohara's picks didn't change anything for this drone) Vikanohara I have never seen a smaller number of different rikishi selected in this game. There was very little deviation from Genzai's lineup. Despite this, there weren't any unanimous picks. Here is the breakdown by group for the 14 entries (not counting Genzai): group: # of different rikishi selected/# who chose most popular-# who chose next most-# who chose next most ... Upper Makuuchi : 2 rikishi/13-1 Lower Makuuchi : 3 rikishi/8-5-1 Juryo : 4 rikishi/9-2-2-1 Upper Makushita: 2 rikishi/13-1 Lower Makushita: 4 rikishi/6-5-2-1 Sandanme : 4 rikishi/10-2-1-1 Jonidan : 3 rikishi/10-3-1 Jonokuchi : 2 rikishi/13-1 I'm actually a little surprised that only one player has the same team as Genzai. (it's Torafujii) I'm also surprised to not find any other pair of players with identical teams - maybe I'm wrong? I'll post the dohyo-iri with the results tomorrow and you can all look for yourselves. We had anticipated a new player but it sounds like they've run out of time and plan to join in January. If they send an untainted (no rikishi with results) entry to me in time, they may still make their debut. Thanks for joining the tournament everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kotoviki 16 Posted November 9, 2014 I'm sorry I missed the deadline. It's really a shame as I had all my games noted on paper ready to enter, had been making decisions in the few minutes between classes... But yesterday my pocket wifi went out and my iPhone was being updated for 16 hours so no Internet... Totally bummed! Toonoryu, I'm sorry I didn't log on earlier to tell you that Homasho would be absent this basho! :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toonoryu 1 Posted November 9, 2014 Is it ok for me to change Homasho, who is kyujo, for Tosayutaka ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Itachi 396 Posted November 9, 2014 Due to the surprise (to most) kyujo of popular Juryo choice Homasho, I have received two last minute requests for replacements. I've verified that these requests were early enough so that the replacements did not have results yet, thus meeting the stated deadline criteria. I will be meeting with Oshirokita today to further discuss the matter. Until then, I'll present the lineups with the last minute changes for Toonoryu and Achiyama.

Itachi 396 Posted November 9, 2014 The full teams and Day 1 results and standings can be seen in the tables posted above. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oshirokita 198 Posted November 9, 2014 Any picks that start the basho kyujo, including rikishi with a fusen loss in their first match, are automatically replaced by the default drone pick. In the case of Homasho, he will be replaced by the Juryo rikishi with the most wins last basho (if tied, then the highest ranked of those tied) = J2w Chiyoo. This has occurred several times in the past. It is also not optional, so you cannot keep a pick even if he will return later in the basho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Itachi 396 Posted November 10, 2014 Ok, Oshirokita has indicated the required treatment for Homasho and accordingly many players now have Chiyoo. This includes the drone Genzai which is odd since no one intentionally selected Chiyoo. The tables are updated for Day 2 with this change included. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Itachi 396 Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) I didn't want to list the drone ahead of you so I switched your names. I thought you two had the same team. Oops! I see now that it is Torafujii and Genzai who have the same team, not you and Mukashi. It will be presented properly on the Day 12 results.

Itachi 396 Posted November 20, 2014 The tables are updated for Day 12. Toonoryu and Mukashi share the lead with non-identical teams but the same score (the drone has fewer losses). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Itachi 396 Posted November 21, 2014 The tables are updated for Day 13. Toonoryu has a single point lead over the drone Mukashi. Kuroimori follows one point behind one drone and one point ahead of the other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Itachi 396 Posted November 22, 2014 The tables are updated for Day 14. Toonoryu leads by one point. Mukashi, Chishafuwaku, and Kuroimori are one, two, and three points behind but any of them could gain enough points to win. For everyone else - better luck next time.
