Sandanme Game Nagoya 2018

[Itachi 330]

The Sandanme Game will run again for Nagoya 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 1-5/6-10/11-15/16-20/21-25/26-30/31-35/36-40/41-45/46-50
51-60/61-70/71-80/81-90 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).

Bumping the topic!

The lower division kyujo announcements are out so we can avoid picking kyujo rikishi now!

[Itachi 330]

There is still time to submit your entries!

There are only a few kyujo rikishi in Sandanme but a couple of them are popular so please check it.

I am on it, trying to beat the deadline - and fending off sleep after crossing Germany by boat, train, plane and car today

I probably won't have time to present this every day but the biggest part of the job is finished!

Thanks to everyone for your entries and good luck with the basho!

Having problems pasting in the rest of the table.

 

[Itachi 330]

I can't seem to clear space to make room for more attachments under the limit.

Until I figure that out, I cannot post anymore results tables.

 

[Itachi 330]

Still no support from sumoforum admin unfortunately so I cannot post any tables of results.

My attachments limit has been reached and I cannot clear it.

For now, I will just announce the winner of the game for this tournament.

Tenshinhan has won with a score of 12.82.

His team had 74 wins and 31 losses for a win/loss per 15 rate of 10.57, leading all players.

His team had 11 kk and 11 group leaders. His best scoring rikishi had the maximum 7 wins so his yusho points were a perfect 15/15.

Kuroimori took the jun-yusho with a score of 12.47, barely ahead of Achiyama's 12.24

Kuroimori's team went 73-32 with 12 kk, 8 group leaders, and a 7 win best scoring rikishi.

Achiyama's team was 70-35 with 12 kk, 9 group leaders, and a 7 bout winner.

 

Thanks for your patience. I hope I can find a way to present results tables again for next basho!
