Some 25 rikishi with losing records in Maka'uchi...

Recommended Posts

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...

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?

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
