Class Dismissed Nagoya 2022

[WAKATAKE]

Welcome to Class Dismissed Nagoya 2022! Last game dai-yokozuna Flohru snagged his 13th yusho from the debutant MidnightAgent, while we had a lot of upper rikishi go makekoshi for some reason. We also had quite a few players in the last basho, with eight human players and one bot. I'm hoping we can get to a total of 10 players this basho. Will kadoban Mitakeumi and Shodai protect their ozeki ranks? Will Wakatakakage make it to ozeki? Let's find out by playing Class Dismissed Nagoya 2022!

The goal of the game is to pick who you think will go kachi-koshi out of the current field of 77 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)
6 - Tsukedashi rikishi will not be eligible for picks as they are not added to the banzuke until the torikumi is posted. They will be added to the roster when they have a proper banzuke ranking in the following basho

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 (*Any wins by Asanoyama and Shodai over yokozuna and ozeki are excluded)
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)
9 - Earliest Submission (Ultimate tiebreaker)

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)

[MidnightAgent]

My internet was down for 36 hours, country wide outtage. Missed out on every sumo game. :(

[WAKATAKE]

In an effort to encourage players to submit picks for participation, I sent messages to all players on the rankings who had not submitted by day 1, giving them a waiver to submit by day 2. Chartorenji and MidnightAgent did submit picks, so I am accepting their participation in the game. In total we will have eight players

Obviously we had many wrestlers had to withdraw from the basho due to Covid outbreaks. Because the purpose of this game is to guess who will go kachi-koshi, those records will stand and players will not score if their picks did not achieve a kachi-koshi before withdrawal

Flohru, MidnightAgent and WAKATAKE all maintain their top 3 positions on the Class Dismissed rankings. @Pitinosato did not enter for a second straight game and drops off the rankings. Tochiyatsu did not play this game and needs to play in September not to be dropped from the rankings

Yusho: Flohru (13-2) 14th
Jun-Yusho: MidnightAgent (13-2) 3rd
Shukun-Sho: @Athenayama scored a tiebreaker 3 score of 76-34
Kanto-Sho: Flohru and MidnightAgent correctly picked 10 lower division wrestlers to get kachi-koshi
Gino-Sho: Athenayama correctly picked 5 sekitori to get kachi-koshi
Golden Award: Flohru picked 3 wrestlers to win the yusho in their respective divisions

Thanks to all who played, and hoping to see more people playing in September. Until then, take care!

[Flohru]

Thanks as always, @WAKATAKE and congratulations @MidnightAgent on an impressive jun-yusho. I have to say that I did not expect this one to go to tiebreaker 1 when I saw the scores of my lower division wrestlers.. What a great game, I wish we had at least 20 players!
