WAKATAKE 2,759 Posted November 12, 2022 Hi everyone! We are in the last basho of the year, and hopefully this will be a great game played for Class Dismissed. I still have to go over the results of the last game, which I will do this weekend. Jokoryu retired last basho, and we also have Hokuozan fall of the banzuke. But we do have Takerufji from Nihon University who makes his debut this basho, and likely the favorite the win the Jonokuchi yusho. Let's see how it goes! Link to submit your entries are below: Entry link https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/6RCPSJB Deadline is 8am on shonichi (3pm PST/6pm EST Saturday) The goal of the game is to pick who you think will go kachi-koshi out of the current field of 77 collegiate rikishi in sumo. For each pick that goes KK, you will earn one win. If that pick goes MK, you will receive one loss. A fairly simple game but you got to know what you're looking out for. For rules please see below. Rules 1 - Pick 15 rikishi for your main team, and then pick one sekitori (Makuuchi, Juryo) and one lower division rikishi (Makushita, Sandanme, Jonidan, Jonokuchi) for your alternate team in case somebody from your main team goes kyujo 2 - Alternates will be substituted if there is a kyujo any time during the basho, at both levels if necessary. If both alternates get used, they will be only for their divisions (sekitori for sekitori, lower division for lower division) a. The exception to this will be if the kyujo rikishi is already kachikoshi b. If the kyujo rikishi returns and finishes the basho, the better record achieved by either the kyujo rikishi or the alternate will be used for scoring c. If two or more rikishi go kyujo for a division (sekitori or lower), then the best scores will be used for that division 3 - You must select a minimum of 5 sekitori and a minimum of 5 lower division rikishi for your main team (in case of a tiebreaker) 4 - You will also select a tiebreaker team of one sekitori and lower division rikishi 5 - In total you will select 19 rikishi (15 main team, 2 alternates, 2 for tiebreaker team) 6 - Tsukedashi rikishi will not be eligible for picks as they are not added to the banzuke until the torikumi is posted. They will be added to the roster when they have a proper banzuke ranking in the following basho Tiebreaker criteria 1 - Most Yusho won by team members, if same number the higher the division the higher the criteria 2 - Most Jun-yusho or yusho-doten won by team members, same criteria as yusho 3 - Strength of combined records for top 5 sekitori and top 5 lower division rikishi 4 - Strength of combined records for tiebreaker team 5 - Any wins by makuuchi team members over yokozuna and ozeki (*Any wins by Shodai over yokozuna and ozeki are excluded) 6 - Results of any potential match ups that happened between different picks on the teams (Rikishi A from team 1 beat Rikishi B from team 2) 7 - Best finishes among least consensus picks (example 9 players pick rikishi A and 1 player picks rikishi B. Both rikishi finish 8-7, rikishi B will have higher criteria) 8 - Strength of combined records of alternates (regardless if they were put into the main line up or not) 9 - Earliest Submission (Ultimate tiebreaker) Sansho is awarded based on the following criteria: Shukun-sho: Highest combined total for tiebreaker 3 (top 5 sekitori and top 5 lower division picks) Kanto-sho: Most lower division kachikoshi picks (minimum 5 correct guesses + kachikoshi required) Gino-sho: Most sekitori kachikoshi (minimum 5 correct guesses + kachikoshi required) Golden/Ougon-sho: Most overall yusho, jun-yusho, doten picks (minimum 2 correct guesses, kachikoshi not required) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MidnightAgent 16 Posted November 13, 2022 Sorry if my submission is too late. I work like 2 days straight leading up to the basho for my Twitch channel, so I don't have time to do anything else. Just put an asterisk next to my name, so I can follow for fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Athenayama rounds out the top 3 based on tiebreaker. @chishafuwaku was kyujo and @Achiyama had requested kosho but with the new rankings that doesn't apply. Participation next basho is required in order not to fall off the rankings Yusho --> Midnight Agent (12-3) 1st Jun-Yusho --> Flohru (11-4) 10th Shukun-Sho --> WAKATAKE with a tiebreaker 3 score of 74-36 Kanto-Sho --> Flohru and MidnightAgent both correctly picked 9 lower division wrestlers to get kachi-koshi Gino-Sho --> not awarded Golden Award --> Flohru correctly guessed Hitoshi, Asashiyu and Takerufuji to get their division yusho Thank you to all who played this basho and also this year, looking forward to seeing you in the next year! Hoping to see new and returning players also! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
