Akogyokuseki once again is extending but Tameiki, wolfgangho, chishafuwaku and WAKATAKE are the closest ones trailing her so far.

She'll need help though because both Tameiki and WAKATAKE managed to win, now within one and two of her. Will both players be able to catch her? With day 12 in the books, no other players are mathematically in the race.

Tameiki and WAKATAKE both ended up picking Daiamami, having the hunch that he would be victorious over the winless Fujiazuma. Unfortunately for WAKATAKE, that means Tameiki got to extend his streak. Congratulations to @Tameiki on winning his first ever JWS yusho! On top of that, he extended his streak to 10, meaning he has entered the top 10 again and can try to challenge for the record in January! Yusho 10 - Tameiki Jun-Yusho 9 - WAKATAKE Active streaks: 10 - Tameiki 9 - WAKATAKE 5 - Achiyama 1 - Flohru Thank you to all for participating in JWS for the year 2020! What a time to close out what we can definitely call a crazy year. I hope to be seeing you all (and those who could not participate) next year when we resume in January! Kekka and banzuke to follow soon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WAKATAKE 2,357 Posted November 28, 2020 Kekka and banzuke: 12 players competed in JWS November 2020 and their combined scores came out to 58. To determine the KK line for this basho, it is 58 divided by 12 which comes out to 4.83. This in turn is rounded up to 5 which is the KK line for the basho. The kekka scores are as below: 10 --> 13-2: Tameiki 9 --> 12-3: WAKATAKE 8 --> 11-4: Akogyokuseki 5 --> 8-7: Achiyama 4 --> 7-8: chishafuwaku, Fujisan, Athenayama, wolfgangho 3 --> 6-9: Tenshinhan, ScreechingOwl 2 --> 5-10: Benihana, Flohru Kekka as shown on the November 2020 banzuke November 2020 East Rank West chishafuwaku (7-8) O Achiyama (8-7) S Tameiki (13-2, Y) Benihana (5-10) K Gaijingai (kosho) K Fujisan (7-8) Athenayama (7-8) M1 Flohru (5-10) Kyoju (0-0-15) M2 wolfgangho (7-8) Akogyokuseki (11-4) M3 WAKATAKE (12-3, J) Tenshinhan (6-9) M4 Gansekiiwa (0-0-15) ScreechingOwl (6-9) M5 Houmanumi (0-0-15) The banzuke for JWS Hatsu 2021 is as follows Hatsu 2021 East Rank West chishafuwaku (7-8) O Tameiki (13-2, Y, S1W) S Achiyama (8-7, S1E) WAKATAKE (12-3, J, M3W) K Akogyokuseki (11-4, M3E) K Gaijingai (kosho, K1W) Fujisan (7-8, K2W) M1 Athenayama (7-8, K1E) wolfgangho (7-8, M2E) M2 Benihana (5-10, K1E) Flohru (5-10, M1W) M3 Tenshinhan (6-9, M4E) ScreechingOwl (6-9, M5E) M4 Kyoju (0-0-15, M2E) Gansekiiwa (0-0-15, M4W) M5 Houmanumi (0-0-15, M5W) Yusho winner @Tameiki has finished jun-yusho in Aki 2020 and won the yusho in November 2020, meaning he is officially on an ozeki run for Hatsu 2021. A 10-5 kekka score or jun-yusho equivalent will earn him promotion to the rank. Ozeki @chishafuwaku could not put together a KK for his second basho at the rank and finds himself kadoban. Hopefully he can gambarize in Hatsu 2021 to maintain his rank. @Gaijingai had declared kosho for this basho and hopefully we will see him back for Hatsu 2021. Welcome back to @Tenshinhan after his hiatus, I know that with everybody these are unsure times, but great to see you playing once again. Kyoju, @Rocks/Gansekiiwa and @Houmanumi are encouraged to play next basho as they were MIA for this basho. As always thank you to all for playing the game, and I encourage anybody who is interested in playing to let me know or drop me any questions that you have. The game is rather simple and fun to try and predict! Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year to you all! 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Athenayama 461 Posted November 28, 2020 Congrats to @Tameiki for the win and thanks Wakatake-san for running the game I really can't explain why there are not more players. I'm addressing especially to all those who play Sekitori-Toto. They have obviously already "studied" all the juryo bouts of the day so it would take them less than a minute to also make an entry for JWS (that's exactly what I do!). So, hopefully we'll get more players in 2021 even if that makes the administrator's duties more difficult. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tameiki 185 Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) I seem to see fewer acceptance messages in 2020 than in the old days, but I must say that I didn't expect to win and I promise that I will do my best to do better in January. I must add that it was fascinating to see the Basho unfold in an accelerated version when the results were published, and it made the surprise even stronger. I also want to thank Wakatake for organising this event and echo Athenayama's regrets that more players don't join us here.
