Teddybear posted:Can I trade Endo for Onosho (or, if he's unavailable and let me know if he is, Kinbozan)? Since I have done this, (results through today so spoilering) the previously 0-3 Endo has gone 5-0 and the previously 3-0 Onosho has gone 2-3. I think the moral of the story is never trade.

I pulled results from last basho's spreadsheet, but apparently hadn't saved it when we worked out your scoring discrepancy at the end of last tournament. You're ozeki 1e now, and are not kadoban. Considering that I'm between jobs atm it might be time for me to do a big re-work of my spreadsheet, we'll see.

People like to hate on Abi but I just love his utter lunkishness. There's a charm to him, with his big old dopey face, on his tippy-toes , pushing his meaty hands into peoples's faces.

Fairly pleased with how my team is doing despite having immediately forgotten who was on it. I think it's down to: Takakeisho coming back from injury looking better than expected (though who knows after that bump on day 8). A bit lucky I didn't get my first pick of Hoshoryu. Wakamotoharu off to a hot start. Mitakeumi and Endo are potentially way better than their current rank. Lone hold out with a losing record is Shodai, who I think is also better than his rank suggests. He's been through the sanyaku ring week one, so I expect he'll get easier matches starting today and perhaps turn things around Of course the inverse is true of the rest of my team, they should start getting harder matches now.

This basho has been one hell of a ride so far and I'm loving almost every second of it. Hoshoryu was clearly cursed by being put on my team and he really doesn't seem like himself out there at all. He's shaping up to be kadoban in November

The NattoSumo discord posts links daily. There’s a few mirrors, I found the vudeo.co ones to be least annoying and without ads. Sucks to have to join yet another single purpose discord but you can find the link just by googling NattoSumo Discord IIRC.

All three are worth paying attention to imo.

I've been having luck just on YT searching his name. I don't know if they are actually his accounts or someone just reupping but the current day has been there when I've gone in. Can't go back more than like a day so I've missed a couple days I can't go back and catch up.

Samuel L. Hacksaw posted:It's the shin-ozeki curse. Lots of new ozeki go kadoban their first tournament after promotion. Plus he's not MK yet. On the other hand, shin-ozeki rarely go kadoban without withdrawing due to injury - that's only happened twice since the current kadoban rules were instituted in 1969, both times in 2000. For context, in the same period, there have been 13 newly promoted* ozeki who withdrew from competition before going make-koshi, and 63 ozeki promotions in total. It'll be interesting to see how Hoshoryu plays the next six days. * "newly promoted" instead of "shin-", because Tochinoshin became ozeki twice and both times withdrew from the very next tournament.

I'm still not convinced he doesn't just take an 8-kyujo unless the leaders drop one to put him back in the race especially after day 8. That's probably still better than Hosho will wind up a though.

Day 10: I really need to get better at Japanese so I can understand the shimpan decisions. I'm guessing that they did a torinaoshi for the Ura/Keisho match because of the dead body rule that I still don't quite understand? This helps my fantasy team but also hurts because I love watching Ura get the most bizarre of wins.

This helps my fantasy team but also hurts because I love watching Ura get the most bizarre of wins. Dead body rule is basically where a wrestler in an unassailable winning position touches down first to break their fall and prevent injury. The problem is that this is often up to interpretation on what exactly is an unassailable winning position.
