Ryoshishokunin 156 Posted January 25 I think enho is slightly more likely, but i have to 15. Tokushoryu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jakusotsu 3,001 Posted January 25 I know, I know, the torikumi isn't out yet. But according to the rules I have to cancel WAKATAKE's pick for being too late. Seven picks for Enho (including leader Sakura and out-of-contention Oshirokita), nine picks for Tokushoryu (including runner-up Ryoshishokunin). Nine picks for banzuke-bottom Tokushoryu? Would have appeared crazy as hell two weeks ago... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryoshishokunin 156 Posted January 25 HAHAHAHA. We all so smrt. I considered Yutakayama, but I couldn't figure out a combination of results that would make it happen. (Also, this torikumi is super weird. Good thing they saved all those San'yaku bouts for the last day...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yokozunas Gurowake and Kuroimori barely got their KKs. More is expected from them. We hope to see better in March. The last time that Yokozuna Jakusotsu showed Ozeki Quality sumo was back in May of 2019. In the bashos since, he has gone MK or scraped a KK. We will set him a challenge of showing why he is worthy of the Yokozuna rank by displaying Ozeki Quality in either (preferably both) of the upcoming March and May bashos. Having won the Yusho in November, and a share of the Jun-Yusho this basho, Sekiwake Ryoshishokunin will be considered for promotion to Ozeki with a mere KK in March.

Gurowake 2,188 Posted January 25 OQ line requires winning the tournament? Certainly it should at least also include those with Jun-Yusho? I don't know how it's calculated, but that definitely seems off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andreas21 160 Posted January 25 My result makes it clear, I'm totally clueless what the Torikumi makers do and what they are trying to accomplish! I've recently seen a Sumo documentary which included a scene of the Torukumi meeting in the 90s, which was sort of a revelation. Apparently, the only tool used was a Banzuke board with stones which marked the Rikishi already paired. All is work of the mind and possibly gut feeling involved. I'm thrilled, but to me it seems hopeless to predict. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Also, this torikumi is super weird. Good thing they saved all those San'yaku bouts for the last day...) Yutakayama was the other option, I considered. Day 15 is the hardest day now since the Kyokai has information we don't, i.e. the results for Day 14. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know how it's calculated, but that definitely seems off. The KK line is calculated by adding the scores of every player (except the kyokai) who turned up for at least 10 days, then dividing by that number of players and rounding to the nearest whole number. The OQ line is calculated by multiplying the unrounded number for the KK by 1.3333, and then rounding to the nearest whole number. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
