Sekitori Sweepstake - March 2023

[sumojoann 1,268]

Thank you, @Athenayamafor administering the game and @Jejimafor dreaming it up.  A lot of blood, sweat and tears were involved, but you were up to the job.  Congratulations to the Yusho winner, Jun-Yusho winner and all those who worked so hard to win a Special Prize.  It looks like next time, I need to gambarize and do "Proper Ozumo" in order to end up at the top of the heap.  I'm going to hire a Personal Trainer.  Maybe that will help!

Final standings :
Symbols : 

☼ = Funboshi
▀ = Loss by fusen
-- = Absence

Even if Djodjoyoshi/Ichinojo was in the best position, we had to wait the final to know the winner. Ichinojo remained calm and serene on senshuraku so the Yusho goes to Djodjoyoshi ! Congratulations to him !
The Jun-Yusho goes to @Igiski

Special Prizes :
Outstanding Performance : @Flohru with Churanoumi J10w defeating Chiyonokuni J2e on day 14.
Fighting Spirit : @Kaito   with Takarafuji achieving KK with their 7th loss on day 10.    
Technique Prize :  @Ryoshishokunin  for a W-L streak from day 1 to day 10 with Hiradoumi.

Funboshi :  @Chijanofuji on day 7.

In the table below the players ranks in parenthesis are those of the banzuke before the start of Haru 2023. Next banzuke to come courtesy of our Richijo.
Thanks to everyone who participated, I know it took you much energy !

Hmmmm ...... I don't seem to be very good at this game do I? 4 - 11 in January, and now 3 - 12 in March.

I see a pattern developing ..... 2 -13 for May perhaps?

@Getayukata come oooon, you got the Yusho at BS and you're complaining??

[Karasukurai 166]

Many thanks to @Athenayama and @Jejima for the game and letting me play. I look forward to next time.

I was just noting that I don't seem to be very good at Sekitori Sweepstakes, that's all!

[Sumo Spiffy 582]

The less skill I need, the better I do? This is correct.

[Ryoshishokunin 325]

I have so much technique.  Hopefully that translates into wins in future!

[Athenayama 1,081]

Djodjoyoshi doesn't have a Sumo Forum account and his English isn"t that good so on his behalf I'm posting his victory speech here, free translation of what he said to me.

I have been told that my overrated cousin declared I know nothing about Sumo. I won't pretend the opposite but I believe that fate "owed me some" as last basho I already had a good pick, Hoshoryu, but his injury didn't let me finish with a better record. You see? I know something!

Anyway, I am very happy for this win and I hope I can confirm it next basho. Note to the Richijo, "a good pick for May,  please!"

Congratulations to all the players and good luck for what's next!
