Itachi 330 Posted May 11, 2018 The Sandanme Game will run again for Natsu 2018. 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). 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Itachi 330 Posted May 28, 2018 Work in progress! I have recorded your entries and done some updates but I have a little more work to do before I can publish the results. I hope to find time to finish that before next weekend. If not, I will complete it next weekend for sure! Thank you for playing and thanks for your patience. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Itachi 330 Posted May 31, 2018 This was a close one! I had a slightly better win/loss ratio including one more win and one fewer losses. Flohru had one more kk, but I had one more group leader. In the end, it was Flohru's best scoring rikishi that brought him the yusho. Flohru was the only one to select Sandanme yusho winner, Karatsuumi! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flohru 170 Posted May 31, 2018 Thanks - and congratulations on a well-deserved jun-yusho, Itachi! Not knowing the entries of the others actually increases the suspense. I am pretty surprised I was the only one to pick Karatsuumi (he is usually a great choice when ranked at around Sd50 or lower): he must have helped me win about 10 Sandanme Game yushos by now.. Though very unlikely, I am going to root for him making a surprise trip to Juryo! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
