For the sake of our teams, I sure hope so, but he's at his highest ranking in a year. Water finds its level...

I would be happy for him to find a nice "float level" here as opposed going down like a solid lead balloon - I really hope he's not injured in some way.

Question: Is there a guiding prinicple that is used for choosing who from upper Juryo gets brought up to even out the day's matches, or is yet another "mystery of the JSA?

I'll put in a trade for the now kyujo Onosho

Trade: Onosho for Midorifuji, Shodai, or Abi in that order please, (I'm fully assuming that Midorifuji is full-up.)

Kenning posted:

Any kyujo that occur on days 8-15 will be auto-traded, using the draft picks provided before the basho. Any player can freely modify their draft picks on days 1-7 to account for possible kyujo in week 2, and the modified picks will be used for week 2 kyujo auto-trades (accommodating the wire etc.). If a given set of picks can't be used because of the wire and precedence, these are the whims of a cruel fate, and no trade will take place.

Thanks for the peachy explanation/reminder as always, and I'll see if I can actually remember that next time one of my boys goes late-tourney kyujo!

Excited to watch so sumo, also a bit relived that it's fantasy exhibition time as last week was a nightmare and completely missed the whole "get my draft together" in light of everything else going on.

I've got an odd question - I've seen a couple of Ozeki promotions now, and really want to know the significance of the carp that they always hold up and pose with in the group photo-op.

Seems to have something to do with the fish being red which is associated with success, also maybe a pun with the name of the specific fish.

Thanks, something like that was exactly what I was looking for! They should absoultely add the "smashing the lid off a keg of sake" though.

How often do rikishi get their height/weight updated? I'm doing a bit of data-crunching across sports right now and I'm noticing that my source (sumodb)rarely shows a change in weight. Shodai for example only has a single weight change in his Makuuchi run, enters at 150 kg in Hatsu 2016, and then is listed at 170 kg starting in Haru 2021.

I think at least once a year but also whenever they have medical checkups (which might be more frequent? not sure), but I don't think sumodb pulls that data automatically, but rather requires manual update.

For example Shodai is currently listed at 160kg, on June 2nd he was listed as 161kg, on March 19th he was listed as 160kg, on January 26th he was listed as 163kg, on September 12th 2022 he was listed as 162kg, etc. (Specific dates just because those were the snapshots available on wayback machine)

Point is that SumoDB is not a reilable source for height/weight information, unfortunately.

Thanks for the quick answer!

Here's the banzuke with Height/Weight shown (it's just a checkbox on the left)

Here's a query for the top 2 divisions that actually lets you sort by height or weight

Here's a similar query but for all 6 divisions and some extra fields selected, I expected a bunch of the shortest guys to be brand new because of the rule changes, but most of them have been around a few years. The "Hatsu" column is when they started Sumo.

The weight thing got me wondering again about how often it's updated -- from what I can see it's not done so per-basho, ran into this a bit ago while doing a bit of Sumo data visualization.

Yeah this came up recently and

So I think whatever you're seeing on the official sumo association website should be considered very recent, maybe even every basho? Can't take that long to have guys step on a scale, particularly if it is just Sekitori. SumoDB does tell you specifically when data was pulled if you go to the individual wrestler page, and it is still nice to see historical (though infrequent) data, like seeing Hakuho start his career at 80kg.

edit: oh wait, you're who I replied to originally back then, oops.

What is a forum for, other than having the same conversations again and again! Seriously, thanks again for the tips on getting more up-to-date numbers!
