Checking the kyujo list, I just realized that all of my six surfboards are in Makushita. Must be a first.

Where can you find the RotoSumo banzuke?

Some very similar (and possibly identical - I haven't checked in detail) lineups in Salarycap. Whereas I suspect Rotosumo this time, unlike last time, will have quite the variance.

So far, so good...except I entered Roto early and included Wakatakakage, thinking I'd change it later if needed. Then never looked at it again.

I forgot to make my picks for all the games until about 20 minutes to deadline, managed to enter all games but things aren't looking very good.

I am doing terrible in the Dailies. By some miracle I won with a 4 in Bench and I scored a 2 in Sumo Game. I don't think I have ever scored that low in Sumo Game. 

[Ganzohnesushi 507]

Today was only the 17th lowest scoring Day in Sumo Game ever with an average of 3.81. So it could have been worse...

Exidrono in the top quarter of the Toto scoreboard is quite a sight to behold.

By the way why doesn't he/she/it appear in the general standings? What am I missing?

A drone probably? What does it represent?

It made me curious how often makushita is the highest-scoring cohort.

The drone players probably saved it from tanking worse.

Also, for Chain Gang, why can't we always have dominant young rikishi at the bottom of juryo? It helps so much.

Just think. Do you really have no idea why Exidrono is active on some days and inactive on others?

The line between winners and losers is always drawn at 0.500. In case there is an odd number of daily participants Exidrono steps in to make it even. Easy, huh?

I'm having a very bad basho so far, my mind is not clear at all!

You obviously weren't around when Baruto went zensho in Juryo. Don't be upset when you eventually won't be able to pick Onosato anymore because of that.

I'm sure this has been asked many times, but I have no idea how to effectively search it, so: in games like Bench and Roto, what happens if there's no yokozuna at all? I'd guess Roto just has a blank spot, but since Bench seems set up for ten-rikishi rosters, does it mean we pick an extra maegashira or are we just down to nine plus a blank space?

In Bench, we're already meant to get an extra maegashira when no Yokozuna competes, but apparently the system wasn't set up to accommodate that. I doubt there's any plan in place for a Nokozuna situation.

There isn't.

Good news: Accidentally picking Nishikifuji instead of Nishikigi in UDH affected me not at all.

Bad news: I still did horribly.

I accidentally submitted Kotoshoho instead of Kotoeko as a loser in Norizo Cup (IIRC), but checked it and changed it to the "correct" pick; Kotoshoho ended up losing (slightly) more.
