Seki-Toto/Quad/Oracle/Fantasy Sumo banzuke for Aki 2017 (+ invitation to play!)

[Asashosakari 20,310]

Seki-Toto (play):

A surprise Toto champion in Nagoya with makushita-ranked Sherlockiama, who even missed a day and still won the yusho outright. As one would expect in such a basho, the makuuchi players weren't particularly dominant, averaging only a little over 7.5 wins, so the banzuke worked out okay outside of a bit of empty room from M12 to J3 that had to be filled with various lucky players.

The top result in makuuchi were a pair of 11-4 records, one of them of the most timely variety, as last basho's demoted ozeki Gurowake recovered big-time from his 2-13 Natsu disaster to clinch the immediate repromotion. Congrats! The incumbent ozeki fared less well, with Susanoo getting the minimum kachikoshi and ScreechingOwl becoming kadoban. Yokozuna Norizo did okay-ish with 9 wins, although that's his fifth consecutive basho of missing double-digit wins.

Outside of Gurowake none of the sekiwake made it particularly close to ozeki promotion; Pandaazuma entered the basho with 19 wins from his last two tournaments, but "only" added another 10 to his tally.

Recent ozeki Randomitsuki, ranked K3w for Nagoya, unfortunately decided to retire.

Seki-Quadrumvirate (play):

The distribution of the results was pretty screwed up again and the banzuke-making completely fell apart after the first 26 players, so considering we had already dropped to just 6 sanyaku last time, I ended up giving out the extra win here to everyone, even though the average score was already at 7.1 wins.

The KK/MK balance was much improved by that, in any case, from 14/23 to 21/16 in makuuchi and from 9/16 to 12/13 below, but 7-8 -> 8-7 players were only treated to half the usual KK credit to account for the lack of actual above-average-ness of their score. Anyway, things still look kinda weird in the lower half of makuuchi, because no amount of banzuke gymnastics was gonna completely close the huge gap that opened up down there.

Anyway, the two ozeki Gurowake and ScreechingOwl entered the basho free of kadoban worries, and both acquitted themselves very well with 9-6 records, good enough to be among the top 10 in the overall standings. Power couple Norizo and Choshu-yuki held down the sekiwake rank, and if their results were swapped one of them would be ozeki now - but alas, it was Norizo who only went 8-7 this time (after the adjustment, adding to previous scores of 9-6 and 10-5 for 27 wins), while Choshu-yuki finished runner-up with an 11-3-1 -> 12-3 result, but her prior records were just a pair of 8-7's, also not quite enough in total to secure promotion.

They're joined at sekiwake on the new banzuke by Ganzohnesushi, moving up from komusubi after strong 11 wins, and yusho winner Flohru. The komusubi rank was also expanded from 2 slots to 4, so the new rankings look a lot more "normal" again with 10 sanyaku-ranked players.

Seki-Oracle (play):

The incredible happened: Yokozuna Pandaazuma won the yusho for an incredible third straight tournament, outdistancing the rest of the makuuchi division by nearly impossible to believe 8+ points, to boot. (Only Profomisakari ranked in juryo managed to get close to him at two points behind, and was suitably rewarded with one of the biggest promotions I've ever handed out in Oracle.) Fellow top-ranked Norizo had a minimum KK to fulfill his yokozuna responsibilities.

Ozeki ScreechingOwl unfortunately had a basho to forget, following up his May runner-up performance with a makekoshi to miss the tsuna opportunity by a mile. Kadoban Gurowake easily cleared his name with 10 wins, while absent Randomitsuki sadly decided to end his gaming career.

We're not dropping down to just two ozeki, however, as Choshu-yuki secured promotion. This one was a bit tricky:

2016.11 M3w 12-3 Y
2017.01 S1e 7-8
2017.03 M1e 11-4 D
2017.05 S1e 10-5
2017.07 Se 9-6

30 wins technically doesn't cut it, but the pure results positions within the run were very credible (T1, T4, T8), and the yusho very shortly before pushed things across the line. Congrats!

And we're back at the customary 10 sanyaku rankers after the brief interlude with just 9 in July. Andrasoyamawaka2 is in with a shout for promotion, with a very similar series of results as Choshu-yuki actually (11-4 Y, 7-8, 9-6, 10-5).

Fantasy Sumo (play):

Ozeki Taka had another strong result in Nagoya, following up on Natsu's 5th place with a shared 3rd here, which gave the committee something to think about concerning the big white rope. In the end it wasn't deemed to be quite enough yet as a jun-yusho at minimum really should be part of a two-basho run, and there was no further supporting evidence to call upon. (Taka's only been ozeki for four tournaments, with the prior two results both just 8-7.) The tsuna run will be extended for a slightly lower target into Aki basho, of course.

Fellow top-ranker Pandaazuma performed credibly as well with a 6th straight kachikoshi as ozeki, not something we're particularly used to seeing in FS. On the flipside it was curtains for Kuroimori whose time as ozeki has ended after just 4 appearances, only one of which was a kachikoshi. Our two incumbent sekiwake unfortunately only went 8-7 and 7-8, so no replacement promotions. Quite a few players did manage to post sekiwake-worthy results though so there's no shortage of candidates entering Aki basho, and the sanyaku ranks had to be expanded back from 10 to 11 slots again.

The banzuke-making was a bit of a mess as the results after the scoring adjustments (-2 in makuuchi and juryo, -1 in makushita) first left a big ol' hole to fill from around M11 to J6, with everybody getting very lucky in that area (including a couple of small promotions for 7-8's), and then created some very crunched movements in makushita down to about Ms15...not much upwards mobility for KK, which I don't like, but the small number of MK records were getting dropped hard as is, so there was no more room to be had here.

You're invited to play! 

Seki-Toto (play) - predict the winners of all sekitori bouts each day and score wins by being above-average

Seki-Quadrumvirate (play) - pick four different rikishi each day and get at least three winners

Seki-Oracle (play) - predict the final records of all 70 sekitori ahead of the basho and get as close as possible

Fantasy Sumo (play) - pick makuuchi rikishi from 9 pre-determined groups and score points via their results

[Asashosakari 20,310]

For the second basho in a row the FS yusho had to be decided in a bracket playoff, with newcomer Goose prevailing over Chisaiyama on slot #3 in a duel between the two sekiwake. (8-win Yoshikaze over 8-win Mitakeumi, due to the former picking up a sansho for extra points.)

A surprising influx of new players, must have been years since we had 27 rookies at once. With that, the participation number was back up to a very respectable 160 after the odd lull in Nagoya.

Best-possible lineup (wins/points and number of selections):

3/19 Harumafuji (119)
1/11 Goeido (21)
2/13 Yoshikaze (29)
3/18 Onosho (22) [also 2/13 Kotoshogiku (13)]
3/17 Takakeisho (19)
1/9 Takarafuji (35) / Chiyonokuni (21)
1/9 Arawashi (18) / Chiyomaru (13)
1/10 Endo (47)
2/15 Asanoyama (51)
------------
17/121 (winner's and runner-up's lineups 13/103, further down also 14/100 and 14/97)

Lots of bonus opportunities with 4 kinboshi and 4 sansho going onto the tallies, but a lot of them weren't widely selected. In addition many players didn't get the memo about all yokozuna not named Harumafuji sitting out the basho, with Hakuho receiving 33 picks, Kisenosato 6 and Kakuryu 2. One intrepid Hakuho picker managed to get to 28th place anyway (and would have been third on 102 points with Harumafuji...), but nobody else made the top 60.

Worst-possible lineup:

3/19 (no other active rikishi besides Harumafuji)
0/1 Takayasu (103) / Terunofuji (36)
0/7 Tamawashi (18)
0/3 Aoiyama (10)
0/1 Ura (30)
0/4 Kagayaki (15)
0/3 Ishiura (36)
1/8 Okinoumi (51)
0/2 Sadanoumi (15)
------------
4/48 (red lantern lineup: 2/40 but of course with an inactive yokozuna; worst Harumafuji lineups 7/61 for points and 5/62 for wins)

Not picking Goeido in slot 2 was nearly as bad as not picking Harumafuji in slot 1...

All three rikishi in bracket 8 finished kachikoshi, but all other maegashira sections (from slot 4 down) had at least two MK options, so even though the selection rates listed are all fairly low there were plenty of players who still managed to go wrong with other, only marginally better picks.

Average wins by division:

Makuuchi  8.34 (27 KK, 14 MK; -1 win -> 15 KK, 26 MK)
Juryo     7.42 (11 KK, 13 MK)
Makushita 7.40 (50 KK, 45 MK)

Overall   7.64

My favourite results - those that offer only "bad" and "worse" in terms of adjustment options. Fortunately things turned out pretty well with the -1 as there are lots of players who are moving into/staying in the maegashira double-digit ranks with their adjusted records, normally the area of concern.

And a small mono-ii on the Toto results, rather annoying because I actually checked for it during the basho and didn't get it right at the time: On Day 12, a three-way risk factor tie occurred around the W/L line, with two players winning and one losing. Unfortunately, as the banzuke ranks weren't loaded into the game database the tie was broken incorrectly.

Rather than the displayed order of

W Konosato (S1w)
W Frinkanohana (J8w)
L DeRosa (K1w)

it should have been

W Frinkanohana (J8w)
W DeRosa (K1w)
L Konosato (S1w)

in accordance with the rule that lower-ranked players receive preference in such ties. Consequently, Konosato finishes the basho 5-10 rather than 6-9, while DeRosa finishes it 6-9 rather than 5-10.

Never mind. I need to develop some patience.

Thanks a  lot for all the work of the Banzuke Asashosakari. I do not doubt that is true and I accept the decision without any problems. But I am surprised that this has only been noticed now.

I'm normally checking during or right after the basho. Unfortunately I didn't notice that three players were tied this time (I don't think that has happened before), so I only compared Frinkanohana and DeRosa, and their positions relative to each other were correct. I realized the problem while importing the data into my archives, but I only did that last week.
