Kotoku 0 Posted January 18, 2006 I have not seen any matches since January 15th, but there sure are a lot of rikishi with losing records. Seems like a few diamonds in a wide patch of rough this basho... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aderechelsea 124 Posted January 18, 2006 taking advantage of this topic i wanted to ask what is the record number or percentage of rikishi being MK in a basho ? i am talking about Makuuchi rikishi of course ... i remeber that in Aki the MK rikishi were 26 out of 42 ... that seemed to me pretty low back then. Does anyone have such stats available? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takanorappa 88 Posted January 19, 2006 Does anyone have such stats available? Here are the worst offenders (percentage-wise) back to the 50's, as best I can do with my data.

aderechelsea 124 Posted January 19, 2006 :-) thanks a lot Takanorappa-san. I am amazed anytime i ask something that comes into my mind and there is actually someone ready to give me the answer. This forum never seazes to impress me. btw .... the example i used was rather high on that list, wasn't it? Glad to know that i felt something was weird when i made the comparison of MK-KK. IIRC it was hell to make the banzuke at GTB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
