Sandanme Game Hatsu 2021

[Itachi 256]

The Sandanme Game will run again for Hatsu 2021.

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).

This is to bump the topic.

There is still time to send your entries!

Anytime before the Sandanme matches is okay!

There are 7 human players along with the usual drones for this basho.

That's one more than the PTYW Game which is unusual.

Thanks for your continuing support for this game everyone!

Returning player, Wolfgangho, had a few kyujo rikishi to replace and also a couple of instances of picking two rikishi from the same group and none from another group (2 for 31-35 but none for 36-40 and 2 for 81-90 but none for 91-100) .

That  resulted in 4 replacements with the selections of the drone Mukashi.

Good luck everyone!
