Guess Ura's Aite - May 2025 edition

[Jakusotsu]

You should concentrate on the things that *really* matter instead of making lame excuses. However, if only you said you were too drunk, you'd been forgiven.

Day 7 - Tobizaru

Also if I might make a suggestion to our beloved scorer. When you list the standings each day, would you consider putting the players in order taking into account tiebreakers? Last tournament I found myself having to painstakingly calculate which players I did and did not hold the tiebreaker against in the final days in order to inform whether I should/shouldn't make the same pick as them. I don't think doing it this way would be any more work for you since all you would need to do is put any player who won in the most recent day ahead of anyone with the same record who lost in the most recent day, and otherwise just maintain the same relative ordering for those with the same record.

[Jakusotsu]

Nice suggestion, I'll try crafting an automatic formula for that. But I usually announce the order of tie-breakers before the final day anyway.

Done now. It doesn't change anything so far this basho, but it should come in handy when it matters.

I think the only change is that Andonishiki is ahead of Gurowake.

[Jejima]

7. Tobizaru - is it for day 10 that this competition is likely to begin?

[Profomisakari]

I'm not sure if Ican use my computer next days.
That's why I'm attempting a long-term prediction here.
The current trend gives me hope for that.
If I'm able to enter other tips, the last one I entered will count.

Day 8 - Kirishima
Day 9 - Daieisho
Day 10 - Hoshoryu

Right - my shiny new automation agrees, but my old eyes didn't catch it.

I think i'm going to be absent for the rest of the basho.  IRL's caught up to me.
