Sandanme Game Kyushu 2020

[Itachi 256]

The Sandanme Game will run again for Kyushu 2020.

Please note the change in email address at the end of this post. I can still receive your messages at my shaw address but I'm transitioning to the gmail one.

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 matsuorussellj@gmail.com before any of your selections enter the dohyo for their match (and preferably a few hours before that).

[Itachi 256]

I have found entries for 7 players for the November basho, including 2 drones (well 8 including Mirai who represents the best possible lineup, but it was discouraged from appearing in the standings so I won't list it as an official entry).

If your shikona does not appear in this list, please re-send your picks.

Profomisakari

Athenayama

Torafujii

Flohru

Itachi

and the drones, Mukashi and Genzai whose picks are automatically generated

Mirai exists to calibrate the scores but its picks are not perceptible until the end of the basho.

Argh, I can't figure out why the formatting is all messed up.

I will try to find a way to fix it for next time.

[Itachi 256]

The 84th basho for the Sandanme Game has concluded.

Thanks to everyone for playing!

The drone Genzai, of most popular picks, has won the yusho for the 4th time.

2 of those were shared yusho, tied with two human players.

The only other time Genzai won outright was for the Nagoya 2009 tournament! Gonzaburow was the jun-yusho winner and best human player that time.
