Class Dismissed Haru 2020

[WAKATAKE]

Hello everyone, welcome to Class Dismissed Haru 2020! We had a surprising yusho winner in real time with Tokushoryu winning from the bottom of the rung in makuuchi, and we even had a surprise yusho winner with debutant Yoohoo in this game! Will we have another roller coaster ride for Haru 2020?

The goal of the game is to pick who you think will go kachi-koshi out of the current field of 65 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 alternate team in case somebody from your main team goes kyujo
2 - Alternates will be substituted if there is a kyujo any time during the basho, at both levels if necessary. If both alternates get used, they will be only for their divisions (sekitori for sekitori, lower division for lower division)
 a. The exception to this will be if the kyujo rikishi is already kachikoshi
 b. If the kyujo rikishi returns and finishes the basho, the better record achieved by either the kyujo rikishi or the alternate will be used for scoring
 c. If two or more rikishi go kyujo for a division (sekitori or lower), then the best scores will be used for that division
3 - 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)
4 - You will also select a tiebreaker team of one sekitori and lower division rikishi
5 - 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
6 - Results of any potential match ups that happened between different picks on the teams (Rikishi A from team 1 beat Rikishi B from team 2)
7 - Best finishes among least consensus picks (example 9 players pick rikishi A and 1 player picks rikishi B. Both rikishi finish 8-7, rikishi B will have higher criteria)
8 - Strength of combined records of alternates (regardless if they were put into the main line up or not)

Sansho is awarded based on the following criteria:
Shukun-sho: Highest combined total for tiebreaker 3 (top 5 sekitori and top 5 lower division picks)
Kanto-sho: Most lower division kachikoshi picks (minimum 5 correct guesses + kachikoshi required)
Gino-sho: Most sekitori kachikoshi (minimum 5 correct guesses + kachikoshi required)
Golden/Ougon-sho: Most overall yusho, jun-yusho, doten picks (minimum 2 correct guesses, kachikoshi not required)

If there is a name that is crossed out in the teams that means that the alternate was used. Achiyama submitted two sekitori for alternates which is not allowed, so the sekitori that was injured record stands.

Results:

- Yoohoo: 8-7
- Achiyama: 12-3
- WAKATAKE: 8-7
- Flohru: 12-3
- Athenayama: 8-7
- Tenshinhan: 11-4
- chishafuwaku: 8-7

Achiyama and Flohru tied, meaning we are going to tiebreaker!

Tiebreaker #1: Most Yusho won by team members, if same number the higher the division the higher the criteria

Achiyama: Ura (7-0, Sandanme)
Flohru: Nishikifuji (7-0, Makushita), Ura (7-0, Sandanme)

Because Flohru successfully picked one more yusho winner than Achiyama, we have our winner for Class Dismissed Haru 2020!

Congratulations to Yokozuna @Flohru on winning his 7th yusho in Class Dismissed!!! 

I will be posting sansho and banzuke information soon.

[Flohru]

Thanks Wakatake, and congratulations Achiyama on a well-earned jun-yusho! That game is really fun, I hope more players will join us in the near future. May I suggest something: Now that you use Surveymonkey for the picks (instead of the forum), it would be great, if you could post the teams after the deadline, so that people can keep track of the results during the basho. Thanks again!
