Looking forward to this chaos basho.

How has every basho for the last year been more chaos than the last?

I'm not complaining, its been great for everything except my spot on the goonzuke.

The low rank Yusho worked great for Abi but not for Oho since they fed him to the sanyaku earlier :mad:

I think by my math I should have 19 unless i'm mixing up a bonus point or penalty somewhere. PJ might should also have 19 if kotoeko's day 6 win counts for them.



I also plan to let Oho carry me gently back down to lower Juryo.

IIRC week 2 kyujo trades are automatic and try to go by your draft list so dont worry too much about it other than finding out who you got. Chaos basho continues.

loving sucks that Hoshoryu got hurt but silver lining is he didn't try to tough out two more wins before going kyujo while making the injury worse.

I could have contested the yusho if I traded Oho, but my dignity as a former yokogoona would not allow it.

I kept Oho definitely for honor and definitely not because it makes tracking my score myself more confusing than i can deal with.

Watching legally is annoying enough that I ignore even attempting it and just watch pirate streams. Its fun to watch live and comment with other people the odd night i can afford to stay up til 3am. Its not a real basho unless you've done the stream banned time to find the new channel dance at least once.

It seems like my past few bashos has just been refining getting the worst score possible.

Off to a roaring start with 3 points.

Maybe next time I'll try terrible picks on purpose.

I had Kotoeko, Shodai and Takayasu in my original top picks but 2nd guessed myself. Need to stop that. The more I've been overthinking picks the worse I've done.

I have Oho, Hokutofuji, and Kotoshoho 🙃 three whole points between all of them out of possible 15

Hokuseiho might have hit the plateau of Being Big because his tachiai is ugly as sin and his technique isn't there either. He's the only rikishi who looks to be straight up terrified to be in the ring.

He does have the longest way down when going bowling for shimpan.

Anybody have good NHK streams for senshuraku? I'm bad at keeping up with the state of the art.

NHKs keep getting murdered quick so I end up just watching the one abema youtube left. Twitch channels also run abema but the player doesnt have rewind.

Local university soccer has been taking things seriously for the last 5 years or so. Everyone wears chest strap heart monitors and once in a while there's sideline commotion, play is called and a player is yelled at to sit down and not move, then is helped off the field to rest, retire for the day.

Karla_sumoist on twitch is another abema stream but much more chill without all ads and lovely community. Just straight stream. They're oddly offline tonight though.

Another thing you can do is just search live sumo on youtube, filter for live, and you'll find streams

The start of a lot of all of this was the UK licensor going after everyone just to protect their little feifdom of profits.

Day 6 as a whole was fantastic to watch. Been a good high effort basho so far.
