Itachi 330 Posted November 11, 2017 The Sandanme Game will run again for Kyushu 2017. I have been very close to giving this game a kyujo for a few basho now but since some of you continue to take the time to send me entries, I feel compelled to keep it going. There may be a delay in getting the results to you but I will set up the game, record your entries, and compile and present the results. Hopefully, I can catch up on the banzuke making as well. Thanks for your patience and continuing interest in the game!Here is the usual invitation:For the Sandanme Game, please send me your list of 15 rikishi from the usual segments of the banzuke.Sd 1-5/6-10/11-15/16-20/21-25/26-30/31-35/36-40/41-45/46-5051-60/61-70/71-80/81-90 and 91-100+ (91-100 including tsukedashi if any)Your rikishi earn points for each win, for a kachikoshi record, for leading their group, and a bonus for the best scoring rikishi on each team based on how close they were to the yusho winning record. The result is adjusted so that the best possible score gets a 15-0 result.The drone Mirai knows the future and always selects the best rikishi in each group. This shows us what the best possible score would be at each stage of the game.The drone Genzai picks the most popular rikishi from each group. This drone has tended to score well.The drone Mukashi picks the rikishi in each group who had the best record last basho. This drone isn't expected to score well but sometimes surprises us.Send your entries to me at nmatsuo@shaw.ca before any of your selections enter the dohyo for their match (and preferably a few hours before that). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Itachi 330 Posted November 27, 2017 Gurowake, Chishafuwaku, and the drone Genzai all finished with the same score so they share the yusho! Chishafuwaku's extra kk compensated for the small difference in win-loss ratio. It is Gurowake's 7th yusho and Chishafuwaku's 1st. I believe it's the second time the drone Genzai has shared the yusho but I didn't not investigate fully. See you in January! Thanks for playing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's an amazing achievement by Gurowake. Great job! Does this mean that Itachi and Achiyama are Jun Yusho winners? Or Jun Yusho is not granted in this game. Just checking.
