RotoSumo Natsu 2025

[Gurowake 4,123]

Ozeki Chishafuwaku scores an MK and is kadoban.  Previous Ozeki Pandaazuma fails in his bid to return to Ozeki quickly but remains at Sekiwake.  Since he was MK the basho before that he's clearly not up for promotion the hard way.  New Sekiwake Oortael has had two good basho in a row and only needs 10 wins for promotion to Ozeki.  Other new Sekiwake ScreechingOwl was MK last basho and thus is not up for promotion.  I don't know if I've ever had only one player up for Ozeki promotion before, and it comes at a time that we're potentially down to only one Ozeki after next basho.  If we do go back down to one Ozeki, I'll stop segregating the Makuuchi scores by top and bottom half, as that was put in place when the number of Ozeki was growing uncomfortably high (there were 7 in Haru, Natsu, and Nagoya 2024).

Athenayama returns to Komusubi yet again, making 4 basho in a row at the rank.  Frinkanohana also returns as Komusubi.    Norizo scored just a bit too low to get to Sekiwake but comfortably earns a Komusubi promotion.  Bunbukuchagama also scores a promotion with a KK at M1e.
