61 for me. Probably a handful of scores that vastly exceed that courtesy of a better Asanoyama choice, and then a big glut in that low 60s range...

We actually DO have identical submissions, it seems. How likely is that?

Kagayaki/Roga -4

I wonder how many players got this one right.

Not me. Roga had a MK and there was room to move him down, but they didn't. Most perplexing.

First banzuke of the new makers team - Asanoyama still gets treated as hard as possible, while otherwise they focus on securing the benefices of the present ones and blocking the ascent of the new ones, even more than the previous team, so it seems.

I still don't have regained enough motivation to analyze my own mistakes and try to adjust my selections - I always do it in one go and one try shortly after the basho, keeping the sent entry form for a while to be able to adjust just one rank and send it again, but I nearly never give it another look.

I believe I researched that question before, and IIRC the answer was there has never been 2 identical submissions in a game of GTB.

I did get that right, and my logic was they wouldn't want to put Kagayaki right behind Chiyoshoma (the former being 1.5 ranks lower and with 1 fewer win than the latter)

In regards to the GTB yusho... I'd like to thank my supporters, I tried not to think about the yusho, I just wanted to give it my all, taking it one guess at a time, and doing my brand of GTB. My goal now is to train hard and perform in a way that humbly honors the dignity of the top rank. :)

If you had a bad result, take comfort in the fact that there was at least one moron who not only forgot to demote Kirishima, but even promoted him past Takakeisho.

Kind regards,

It takes veteran chops to make that kind of blunder only when it doesn't affect the sanyaku size.

Consoling myself with the two points for getting Takakeisho right

I was going to ask about this, because from what it sounded like, your two mistakes ended up meaning that you got Takakeisho right, but I didn't want to be the one to bring it up.

I got the juryo promotions right, got asanoyama right, but the takanosho thing tanked me

It looks like someone picked Shimanoumi where they clearly meant Shonannoumi.
