Class Dismissed Aki 2018

[WAKATAKE]

Welcome to Class Dismissed Aki 2018, the 6th edition of the game!

The goal of the game is to pick who you think will go kachi-koshi out of the current field of 71 70 collegiate rikishi in sumo. For each pick that goes KK, you will earn one win. If that pick goes MK, you will receive one loss. A fairly simple game but you got to know what you're looking out for. For rules please see below. 

Rules
1 - Pick 15 rikishi for your main team, and then pick one sekitori (Makuuchi, Juryo) and one lower division rikishi (Makushita, Sandanme, Jonidan, Jonokuchi) for your backup team in case somebody from your main team goes kyujo either before or on day 1 of the basho (substitutions are not made for mid-basho kyujo)
2 - You must select a minimum of 5 sekitori and a minimum of 5 lower division rikishi for your main team (in case of a tiebreaker)
3 - You will also select a tiebreaker team of one sekitori and lower division rikishi
4 - In total you will select 19 rikishi (15 main team, 2 alternates, 2 for tiebreaker team)

Tiebreaker criteria
1 - Most Yusho won by team members, if same number the higher the division the higher the criteria
2 - Most Jun-yusho or yusho-doten won by team members, same criteria as yusho
3 - Strength of combined records for top 5 sekitori and top 5 lower division rikishi
4 - Strength of combined records for tiebreaker team
5 - Any wins by makuuchi team members over yokozuna and ozeki

Player records for Aki 2018:

chishafuwaku: 10-5
Taikoubana: 10-5
wolfgangho: 7-8
WAKATAKE: 8-7
Flohru: 11-4
Achiyama: 9-6
Tenshinhan: 11-4
Fukurou: 8-7

Flohru and Tenshinhan both finished at 11-4, and both picked Daiamami who finished yusho-doten in their main team (Flohru picked Juryo yusho winner Tokushoryu as an alternate which unfortunately doesn't count). Therefore we have to go to tiebreaker #3 for the first time! Tiebreaker #3 is the combined records of each player's top 5 sekitori and top 5 lower division records.

Flohru
 - Sekitori: 44-31 (Mitakeumi, Hokutofuji, Yago, Daiamami, Mitoryu)
 - Lower: 26-9 (Nishikifuji, Ichiki, Omoto, Takemasa, Ura)
 - Total: 70-40

Tenshinhan
 - Sekitori: 49-26 (Mitakeumi, Hokutofuji, Yoshikaze, Daiamami, Azumaryu)
 - Lower: 25-10 (Ichiki, Omoto, Takemasa, Kawamoto, Ura)
 - Total: 74-36

Very down to the wire, but Tenshinhan SQUEAKS out the yusho! A hearty congratulations to @Tenshinhan!!!

[WAKATAKE]

Banzuke for Kyushu 2018

	Kyushu 2018
East	Rank	West
Flohru (11-4, J, O1E)	O
Tenshinhan (11-4, Y, S1E)	S	Taikoubana (10-5, S1W)
chishafuwaku (10-5, S2E)	S
Achiyama (9-6, K1W)	K	Fukurou (8-7, K1E)
WAKATAKE (8-7, M1E)	M1	wolfgangho (7-8, BG)
kuroimori (0-0-15, M1W)	M2

 

Promotion runs will be in effect for Kyushu 2018!

@Flohru is still on a tsuna run. A yusho for the next basho will get him that promotion.

@Tenshinhan is back on an ozeki run, as he now has a jun-yusho and a yusho in the last two basho. He will need either 13 wins or a yusho to clinch the promotion.

Good luck!

I do not know, but if you present the eligible rikishi in this way instead of the usual you might get some more participants (maybe it's not that interesting to know in which university frequented each one for the purpose of the game - although it's necessary for him to be chosen)

Thanks for the suggestion.

I’ll try it that way when I post tonight.

We also bid goodbye to 3 rikishi who were a part of this game who retired after Aki 2018:

I like the new way; it's easier for me to see who's who and what's what. The university info is nice to have, but IMO it was in the way in the previous format.
