Turn The Tide - Banzuke Hatsu 2020

[Jakusotsu 5,755]

I just realized that we didn't have a single Ozeki during 2019, which is of course a no-no for proper banzuke making. (Where is my dagger?) But Andoreasu to the rescue! He has racked up the numbers to become the 6th Ozeki - omedeto! (...and Kitakachiyama will duly act as Yokozuna-Ozeki now.)

(+1 in Makuuchi and +2 in Juryo and below for banzuke-making purposes)

Two players emerged from the mire with seven wins each, and it's Kotononami to grab the yusho on tie-breakers with the lowest record ever in the short history of this game - omedeto!

Yusho:
M13w Kotononami (7-7-1)

Jun-Yusho:
M6w Kuroimori (7-7-1)

No sansho this time as everybody failed to get their eight.

Thank you for playing, see ya in March!

Astonishing turnaround for me, from 5-2 sole leader to 5-10...

You could have gone kyujo after day 7 with a 'sore TTT decision making' but you decided to walk it off and fight on. Kudos!
