I have no desire to think much more about this.

15. Takayasu

Day 15- what Gurowake said

[kuroimori]

Let's get this s#*t over with!

Ok, it should be one of the washi guys, but the last week has been quite wishy-washy, it will most likely be Arawashi, but I am still going with

D15 - Tamawashi

 

And can we please rename this game into something like "Crazy Torikumi Roulette" or "Because the Kyokai can!"

[Profomisakari]

[Ryoshishokunin]

15.  Arawashi

[chishafuwaku]

Wow! 2 guys actually managed to get a KK!

Well done Gernobono & PhorCillic!

Well done Gernobono & PhorCillic!

thanks!

for me the choice of the m3w was a good one.......this way the nsk has more chances to get on the yusholist......

[PhorCillic]

Thank you too.

Looks like it's my first GKA basho with an award, too. I can't contain my happiness.

[Sakura]

Wait, did I do well enough to get an award with 9 other people 

That was fun and tough. I made a mistake not picking Harumafuji when I knew it would be him. And I chose Takanoiwa as a gamble over Ikioi. I can't feel bad about not getting the other guesses though. 

In the second half I spent ages each day staring at the W-L matrix trying to work out what they would do with Ishiura and how that would affect everyone else.

Comments:
Yokozuna Jakusotsu once again did not display Ozeki Quality Bench Sumo, although it is noted that he was challenging for the Yusho right up until the last day, and this is to be commended as a positive step, as he looks to regain his yusho winning ways.  

Shin-Yokozuna Kuroimori went MK in his first basho at the top rank.  As it is his first basho at the top rank, it will not be considered too harshly (this time).

Gernobono will be considered from promotion to Ozeki, if he wins the yusho again in January 2017.
