Gurowake 4,123 Posted May 25 Ozeki Chishafuwaku scored an overall Yusho, marking the beginning of a Yokozuna run. He will need a 13-win tournament or Makuuchi Yusho before having less than 10 wins for promotion. Ozeki Sakura took the tournament off, with kosho rules preventing her from going kadoban. Sekiwake Oortael gains more than the required number of wins and is promoted to Ozeki. Sekiwake Pandaazuma has a good score and after his KK last basho following Ozeki demotion, he's now back up for Ozeki promotion the hard way, needing 10 wins. Norizo, Frinkanohana, and Bunbukuchagama move up from Komusubi to Sekiwake with strong scores. The first two also only need 10 wins for promotion as well, while the latter needs a minimum of 11.95. However, with 3 Ozeki already and 4 Sekiwake on a promotion run, there will be increases to the win requirements due to crowding if at least 2 hit their nominal target. I don't want to explicitly put all the possibilities, but the number of wins over the last two tournaments for those with a 10-win basic requirement are Pandaazuma 20.62, Norizo 23.83, and Frinkanohana 21.01, each Ozeki beyond 3 increases the total number of wins needed by 1, and the normal requirement in 3 basho is 30 wins. Joaoiyama also had a good enough score to move up to Sekiwake from Maegashira, but with an MK last basho is not up for promotion. The Komusubi spots are filled with the next two best maegashira, Flohru and Andoreasu.

Kaito 322 Posted May 25 Yeah, so, I didn't actually think Kotozakura was a better pick than Onosato this basho, but I figured nobody would pick him so I'd get a free yusho if he happened to come out on top. A strategy that I can't remember ever working out for me. And it turns out I would've just yusho'd with Onosato. One of many annoying results for me this basho.
