Invitation for Makushita Game Haru 2020

[Randomitsuki]

Hiya,

please spread the viral and highly infectious Makushita Game by considering your participation in, if not the total domination of this game. The yusho winner will not win a face mask this time.

I hope the banzuke will be available soon (unfortunately, I haven't sent it to Doitsuyama before an hour ago due to time constraints).

Stuff for registration, rules, etc. can be found at

Standings after Day 6:

First of all, thanks for the great player turnout - it's been a long while since we've had 30 players. A special welcome to our new players as well!

After 6 days of Makushita action, average scores are pretty low in terms of points and pretty low in terms of variability. In other words, many things could change in the ensuing days. As of now, freshly minted Ozeki Kobashi leads, followed by returning player Oskanohana and Yokozuna Andoreasu. The top players look very much like having a top basho. Only 13 out of 30 players are in KK territory for now, but seven out of eight participating sanyaku players are above that magic line.

Sansho standings:

Shukun-sho: Asapedroryu (for picking 3-0 Asabenkei).

Kanto-sho: Oskanohana I, Asapedroryu (30 wins)

Gino-sho: Pandaazuma (7.65 points; mostly for being the only player to pick 3-0 veteran Kagamio)

Standings after Day 10:

Asapedroryu has been in command over the last few days, sporting a noticeable leading margin in front of Yokozuna Andoreasu. Other player near the top will need some extra oomph in their final two rounds of bouts. 

Standings are incredibly lop-sided with almost all players in the upper half on the banzuke aiming for kachi-koshi, and almost all players in the lower half aiming for make-koshi. (Almost) needless to say, the Yokozuna as well as all three Ozeki flock together near the very top of the standings.

To see your current win/loss estimate, add 1.5 points to your win point column and round down half-points. That being said, that dreaded line currently runs between Ariakenoumi and Pepoetse.

Sansho standings:

Shukun-sho: Asapedroryu (for picking 5-0 Nishikifuji and 4-1 Asabenkei)

Kanto-sho: Asapedroryu (49 wins)

Gino-sho: Pandaazuma (11.89 points; 4 points coming from being the only player to pick 4-1 Kagamio)

Final standings:

The MsGame yusho was almost decided by Day 12 which would have set an all-time record. However, it took Asapedroryu one more day to seal the deal and achieve one of the most decisive yusho wins in the history of this game with a rare 14-1 record. Jun-yusho honors go to Ozeki Asashosakari with an 11-4 record. Speaking of records, with an average of 7.65 win points we were very close to the sweet spot, so no adjustments are necessary - just look at the rightmost column of the results page to see how you fared.

The Sekiwake duet of Tenshinhan and Andrasoyamawaka both were up for Ozeki promotion. Tenshinhan cut the requirements with ease, having a triplet of 12-3, 11-4, and 9-6 (all as Sekiwake). Andrasoyamawaka missed out on the 31 win requirement over three basho, but should get the nod if the scores double digits in his next tournament.

Yusho winner Asapedroryu also receives the shukun-sho (for picking 7-0 Nishikifuji and 6-1 Asabenkei) and the kanto-sho (71 wins). The gino-sho goes to Shatsume whose 26.02 gino-sho score outdid everybody else with ease (the tricky thing for Shatsume was to straddle the KK line which he did). He was the only player to pick 5-2 Okinofuji, the only player to pick 4-3 Kizenryu, and the only player to pick 4-3 Kotohayato. Omedetou!

That's it for Haru Basho - I am happy for having so many players this time around, and of course I hope that you'll consider returning in May! Thanks for reading.
