Sandanme Game Aki 2017

[Itachi]

The Sandanme Game will run again for Aki 2017.

I have been very close to giving this game a kyujo for a few basho now but since some of you continue to take the time to send me entries, I feel compelled to keep it going.

There may be a delay in getting the results to you but I will set up the game, record your entries, and compile and present the results. Hopefully, I can catch up on the banzuke making as well. Thanks for your patience and continuing interest in the game!

Here is the usual invitation:

For the Sandanme Game, please send me your list of 15 rikishi from the usual segments of the banzuke.

Sd 1-5/6-10/11-15/16-20/21-25/26-30/31-35/36-40/41-45/46-50
51-60/61-70/71-80/81-90 and 91-100+ (91-100 including tsukedashi if any)

Your rikishi earn points for each win, for a kachikoshi record, for leading their group, and a bonus for the best scoring rikishi on each team based on how close they were to the yusho winning record. The result is adjusted so that the best possible score gets a 15-0 result.

The drone Mirai knows the future and always selects the best rikishi in each group. This shows us what the best possible score would be at each stage of the game.
The drone Genzai picks the most popular rikishi from each group. This drone has tended to score well.
The drone Mukashi picks the rikishi in each group who had the best record last basho. This drone isn't expected to score well but sometimes surprises us.

Send your entries to me at nmatsuo@shaw.ca before any of your selections enter the dohyo for their match (and preferably a few hours before that).

[Itachi]

this is to bump the topic - there is still time to place your entries - any rikishi who has not yet had a bout may be selected

After Day 4, Flohru has taken the early lead in this game.

If time allows, I would love to post the full dohyo-iri and detailed results but for now, here are the standings (the post above)

Thanks to everyone for sticking with this game. Without you, I would have lost my motivation.

[Gurowake]

Masunoyama was a major disappointment. :(

[Itachi]

Congratulations to Flohru on winning his SIXTEENTH yusho in this game X!V!I!

Gurowake takes the jun-yusho.

Thanks to everyone for playing!

[Flohru]

Thanks Itachi! It is still weird NOT to see Randomitsuki's name up there, though.

Flohru's skills in this game are simply amazing! Using the force he definitely does!
