Reonito 1,454 Posted March 21, 2024 Okay, I can't stand not having this thread. Mostly a placeholder as I don't have time to run it properly this basho. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reonito 1,454 Posted March 21, 2024 Juryo demotion queue: Hokuseiho, Kotoeko, Kitaharima, Aoiyama, Chiyosakae, Hakuyozan. Makushita promotion queue: Onokatsu, Chiyomaru with a win, Kazekeno with a win, Tsukahara with a win, Kayo with a win, Nabatame with a win, Tsukahara with a loss, Nabatame with a loss. It's not yet 100% that Kotoeko and Kitaharima will go down, but it's close. Kazekeno is the only 6-0 guy left, courtesy of Sd3 Nagamura; will he fight Onokatsu, Chiyomaru in a promotion playoff, or someone else? If he loses, we get a big playoff among the 6-1's. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Takakeisho hasn't cleared kadoban yet. KK Ura would be the first in line, I suspect, but could he bring others up with him. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Koorifuu 994 Posted March 21, 2024 (edited) Based on recent examples, I'd say Chiyosakae needs one win, and everyone in the "Needs 1 win" list is already safe. Kotoeko, Kitaharima and the vacated spot will give way to Onokatsu and two others. The best case scenario is that there's four convincing enough candidates (Onokatsu + Chiyomaru, Kazekeno and Tsukahara with shiroboshi) which might not even happen. Endo or Myogiryu pulling the i-word in the next few days would just confirm it. Edited March 21, 2024 by Koorifuu 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reonito 1,454 Posted March 21, 2024 Day 12 Juryo demotion queue: Hokuseiho, Kotoeko, Kitaharima, Chiyosakae. Makushita promotion queue: Onokatsu, Chiyomaru with a win, Kazekeno with a win, Tsukahara with a win, Kayo with a win, Nabatame with a win, Tsukahara with a loss, Nabatame with a loss. Kazekeno is the only 6-0 guy left, courtesy of Sd3 Nagamura; he fights Onokatsu tomorrow. If he loses, we get a big playoff among the 6-1's. The other four promotion contenders have been saved for potential exchange bouts on the final weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fashiritētā 181 Posted March 21, 2024 (edited) If Daieisho goes 7-8, would he only fall to Komisubi? Edited March 21, 2024 by Fashiritētā Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that happens and Takakeisho somehow fails to get 8 and falls to Sekiwake, there might not be any open slots at all, though Ura could force one by getting his KK. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You need 11 wins at K to force an extra S slot, but any KK will do if there's one that needs to be filled. In fact, they've gone as low as 8-7 M4 to fill a vacant S slot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A 10-5 Asanoyama would force one too, probably. Query result (sumogames.de) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Onosato wins out, he could also force an extra K slot. Even if it is based on a precedent from 1965. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope it shakes out so that we don't have to deal with these edge cases in GTB I don't know if 10-5 at M1W is really an edge case, though. Nine wins is, but ten seems like a gimme for an extra K slot. Atamifuji at 10-5 would create a much bigger headache, especially if Ura jams himself into the rank as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oskanohana 261 Posted March 22, 2024 What I'd really like to see is both Kitaharima and Chiyosakae going 6-9, Chiyomaru, Kazekeno and Kayo losing, so we'd have only 3 "possible" promotions and 2 surefire demotions (Hokuseiho and Kotoeko). Would they dare to pass the dreaded Ms5 line to look for promotions? Would they split the J14's? Would they keep them both in juryo? Surely, if all these craziness happened, Endo would declare his intai this sunday and kill my dream scenario. BTW, I don't think Myogiryu's intai is on the cards at all. He was already demoted to juryo in 2017-2018. I 'member Myogiryu's first basho in juryo, it was when I had started watching sumo regularly. His injury fucked my juryo game prediction. I've still loved the guy throughout though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've still loved the guy throughout though. Myogiryu's also looked halfway healthy this tournament. Maybe quarter-way. Certainly an improvement over last basho, whereas Endo looks like he needs some Captain America serum to fix his knees. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would they dare to pass the dreaded Ms5 line to look for promotions? Would they split the J14's? Would they keep them both in juryo? I guess based on what they did last time, they'd bring up Tsukahara and Nabatame and keep Kitaharima? It was bad enough to make Chiyosakae the first 6-9 14e to stay; keeping him with the same score at 14w would be a bit much. Then again, I'm guessing they'll set up day 14/15 matches to avoid this sort of predicament. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Asashosakari 19,319 Posted March 22, 2024 42-year-old Hagane is at Sd89e and just completed his basho at 5-2, which is his first KK in sandanme in two and a half years and his highest-rank KK in almost four. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
