Disclaimer/introduction for new players

The Wall:

If a sumotori gets his first makekoshi (MK = losing record) in that respective division, it's called "hitting the wall" (KK = winning record, means missing the wall, which is a good thing). For makuuchi this basho it's Kiribayama and Kotonowaka. For Kotonowaka it's his first try in makuuchi. In juryo we have 2 guys to fight the wall, Kotoshoho and Midorifuji.

 

Promotion/demotion/kadoban:

If Takakeisho gets a MK, he will not be demoted, but ranked as kadoban Ozeki. A follow-up MK means demotion.

With 12 wins Asanoyama will be promoted to Ozeki, maybe even with 11.

 

Guess the colour of the giant macaron:

One of the prices for the yusho winner is a giant fake macaron (as placeholder for a load of real, normal sized macarons from one of the best Pâtisseries in Paris). The colour varies and it has become a popular game to guess it. Last basho it was golden.

ouh.... I understood "hitting" and "missing" the wrong way...

Just should change my votes at ´1.

Not even Takakeisho did.
