How high will Bart rise?

[Araiguma_Rascal]

There don't seem to be many close precedents for this. Bart is the apparantly the third and lowest ranked Juryo rikishi (in the database) to finish with a perfect record. He's in good comany, as one (Kitanofuji) went on to become Yokozuna, and the other (Yutakayama) an Ozeki.

I tried to do a banzuke yesterday and had him around M11, which is maybe a tad high...12-3 seems to mean 10 ranks:

My q'n'd attempt at the new banzuke last night placed him at M13e, immediately followed by Homasho. The other promotees ended up at the very bottom (M16e/w), which looks a bit weird overall.

[iwokayama]

Kotokaze j11w in 1979 with 14-1 yusho goes to m14w.

[Takamueda]

In my Banzuke guess Homasho is M11e and Baruto M11w.

[Kashunowaka]

In my Banzuke guess Homasho is M11e and Baruto M11w.

Yes, I had Homasho above Baruto too. But it's not a given by any means. Very difficult to predict how they will handle these huge results.

Kaido will be promoted to sanyaku... (I am not worthy...)

Slightly different question, but with so few high makushita rikishis getting high results, what happens to the bottom of Juryo. There are three to four sure demotees (Toki, Daishodai, Takanotsuru, may be Harunoyama) and an additional space left by Hakuho. I can see only Dewaotori and Masatsukasa with KK in Ms1 to Ms4.

Hakuho going to Ozeki opens no spot in Juryo; it just makes the M17e rank disappear next basho. As for the promotions, it's pretty safe to say the third promotion will be Ms4e Oga with 5-2. I do think you're overlooking both Oga and Ryuo (Ms3w 4-3) as far as high-ranking kachi-koshi go...

At any rate, the promotions to Juryo will be announced within the next 24 hours, so we'll know soon enough.

Aaaah, I know I was overlooking something. (Nodding yes...)

Many thanks, I'm still too new to the "game"
