They didn't, they set up a platform off the side of the dohyo she got up on. For her cut, they moved the chair very near the edge.

It's a training strategy that he continues to employ - though he may have had it a bit easier when he was the one doing the squats.

I really should have known Tamawashi would sandbag to ensure he can score more gold stars.

I like to try not to trade - but I'm putting in for a swap from Tamawashi to my #3 pick: Onosho.

My second choice has also been on an uncharacteristically poor streak. :/

Onosho is out. Which forces me to.... back to Tamawashi?? Or Nishikigi?

(I just traded Tamawashi for Onosho, and my picks for the segment are Tamawashi, Nishikigi, Onosho)

I guess if I have a choice I would prefer Nishikigi? I've created a really weird corner case for myself

This basho started out really bad for the Sanyaku and my team - but holy cow did they somehow manage to pull out all the stops at the end and turn things around. Proud of all my boys - including the ones who didn't end up on my team this time. Very good basho, very satisfied. If you don't watch Juryo normally, it was excellent as well.

Juryo spoiler re Asanoyama and Ochiai: I haven't seen it in any of the recaps, but Asanoyama smiling at Ochiai picking him back up was really really good.

Congratulations to...our first ever co-kozuna, Thauros and Tiny Bug Child. I went to go look up a tie-breaker, and it turned out not only did these two posters end up with the same team after all the drafting (despite Thauros not getting their first pick on every rank), but they also traded out Wakatakakage for Kiribayama on the same day. They're also the 2 top-ranked ozeki. That's far too much synchronicity for me, so they can lift the cup together. Perhaps we should start picking a juryo rikishi for tie-breaking purposes, but this hasn't happened before, so I'm not too worried about it. Also, congratulations to Gaghskull for taking the juryo yusho, with an all kachi-koshi team (except for Takakeisho, obv.).

Interestingly, Takakeisho withdrawing early dropped the high scores this basho, but didn't really drop the low scores. I'm not sure what this means, if anything. Hopefully next basho gets us another ozeki or two so we can start having more action up in the top ranks! A reminder, I won't be able to run the Natsu basho, but no matter what we'll be back for Nagoya.

On to special prizes! A refresher, these are the special prizes:

Gino-sho/Technique: No make-koshi on your team.
Kanto-sho/Fighting Spirit: Exceptional performance from a low rank, or other acknowledgement of great performance.
Shukun-sho/Outstanding Performance: Getting the highest number of accolades (i.e. kinboshi, yusho/jun-yusho, and sansho) in the field.

So, who are the awardees?

Gino-sho: With Takakeisho out, no actual all KK teams, but the following people only had a loss from Takakeisho: Everyones Favorite Poster, GoatSeeGuy, MyChemicalImbalance, NuclearPotato, Gaghskull, Lid
Kanto-sho: Gaghskull
Shukun-sho: Ice Phisherman, Saturnine Aberrance, Thauros, Tiny Bug Child

Fun basho, as usual. Frankly, a bit more than usual. At the start I was concerned about how exciting it would be, but it feels like the wheels are starting to turn towards a new generation of ozeki etc., and I hope they can keep going. Goonzuke to follow in a bit, once I have a bit of time to work it through.

(Quoting for the new page)

Wow! That's quite the nice surprise. Seemed like the start was really slow, but the turnaround happened in the end. I'll continue to strive my best to effectively show my brand of fantasy sumo and avoid any posting injuries.

Just acknowledging that I also edited my picks to remove Takakeisho - though I would've stuck with him as pick 1 till it turned out he was off the schedule, since initially it sounded like he was planning on sticking around anyway.

Given that Asanoyama is kyujo, and that I think (?) we still have a little bit of time left to trade:

I would like to trade Asanoyama for Ura if this is still possible. If, being this close to the edge, I need to stick to my selections, then Hiradoumi shall be my hero.

Edit: Hopefully this trade was registered?

It's points for day 13, but day 14 will be make or break.


Typically you can't trade after day 8, and trades that do happen are when your current pick goes kyujo. Maybe there could be some special exemption for a previous kyujo trade if your formerly kyujo pick comes back, but I don't believe that's ever been done. Usually people will just explicitly decide to keep their kyujo wrestler on the team.

The latest natto channels been wholly brought down on YouTube.

I've been downloading all the videos and putting old bashos up on my own channel in unlisted playlists - and with exactly one exception in a day of Juryo from July that is blocked entirely, there have only been content IDs blocking ads on some videos, and not even the majority. Not that I am anywhere near a big enough channel to get any income on a video to begin with.

Nattos discord posts links to all the locations the videos are hosted in browser, as well as direct download links. Unfortunately, of all the locations they use, including for direct downloads, the most trustworthy is Billibilli. Been thinking about uploading everything to archive.org, but I don't want to undercut natto to anyone beyond the people I know personally.

With the amazing feats of witchcraft on display today, and amidst the steady decline of the giant slayer, I would like to put in for a trade: May I replace Tamawashi with Ura? If Ura is not available, I am feeling a possible Meisei resurgence.

I have broken down, and come to request a trade - possibly.

I am looking to trade Wakamotoharu for Kotonowaka.

Only if that trade is not possible due to how the draft has fallen, would I instead ask to trade Kinbozan for Shonannoumi.

If neither is available! Then I'll stay with my team as it is.

Apparently Miyagino has been attempting to coach Hokuseiho on actually charging at the tachiai, to the point of actually pushing him at the tachiai in training. Of course, on the actual dohyo there's no coach there to literally push him every time..

Looks like something happened to the trade and Juryo columns - I have my score matching your listing for me, however I am quite confident I have not traded anyone, and my Juryo pick Nishikifuji has 9 wins, not 5. I suspect this isn't actually a score recording issue, just an issue with this table getting the special columns transposed across from yesterdays scores, maybe?

Juryo selections primarily because I'm convinced Hakuoho and Waka are going to be hugely in demand.

M1-5 was a tough one - a lot of folks got slung up high by the weird balance of scores, and I'm not convinced it'll be to everyone's benefit. But Ura will have a pretty new set of folks, so maybe... (Except... you know.... 9 folks in Y-K to overcome as the top of the JOI..)

M6-10 feels like a pretty good spot for Tamawashi to be - although aforementioned ranking slingshots from the bottom may work against him, if my theory of him being best against the top rank is correct.
