The worst possible lineup of the basho is posted in each day 15 standings, but the UDH itsself has never tried to figure out how bad the worst of the players in each basho was - that would be a bit too meta :-)

Indeed. Last one to enter the list was Ishiura only six months ago, before that we have to look more than one year into the past (Kotoeko and Shimanoumi in 2021). None of them had such a prominent score, though. The last entry in the top 25 (currently 4.800+) before Midorifuji was Nishikigi in 2018.11 with a whopping 5.125 points. Like in Midorifuji's case, that was his first and only entry in the list so far.

Hello gamers, the UDH entry form is ready now, and waiting for your selections. Rules in a (very small) nutshell: Guess the thirteen makuuchi rikishi you expect to have the fewest wins this basho. You may submit your entry at http://udh.seisa.de/udh_index.html. Once you have selected your team, please root for them as much as you can. The game was not intended to honor any failure, but to stimulate interest in the less successful rikishi. The deadline for your entries will be the first day of the basho (Sunday, July 10th) at 12pm Japanese Time. Good luck! Link to the latest available standings >>> http://udh.seisa.de/udh_stand.html

Re: Yokozuna demotion rules / Terarno's run of MK-AB-MK-MK in 2022. The rules were not quite clear enough about the "three consecutive make-koshi". It could have only meant clearcut MK-MK-MK cases. I have clarified on that now. Terarno stays by grandfather clause for now but will be under close scrutiny.

Disclaimer It is just an odd feeling that I have and it is not substantiated by proofs that would stand in court. I just felt reassured by Asashosakari's use of the word "necessity". They don't, at least not how they are using their database today. Whenever they need to differentiate one from the other, it is only in historical data and so seldom that it is some kind of "oh, we know them apart but really don't bother to elaborate". And you can still use highest rank. There was a time when two Yutakayama were oyakata. Tokitsukaze was "former Ozeki Yutakayama" while Minato was "former Komusubi Yutakayama". Note that the Yutakayama part is rather a comment than a unique identifier. The Wakanohana yokozunae were "the 45th ...", "the 56th ..." and "the 66th yokozuna Wakanohana" during their oyakata time. Locally - on any one banzuke - the shikona (shikona for rikishi + kabu for oyakata + "stage name" for the other urakata) is unique though. I know, I know. But sometimes it feels like they have them but don't use them in a sensible way. Like some database savvy person told them that they should assign one to every rikishi and use it in the url but ever since they are wondering why they have to write .../profile/3321 and not .../profile/terunofuji. They do not use it to make a connection to the (younger) oyakatas' rikishi page like some great other database does. The urakata pages don't link to the respective heya. They even had an english tokoyama list for some years and suddenly discontinued it again - strange if you had used underlying ids but not so if you had to manually check names' lists.

Funny that you mention that. Whenever I dig into their data I too get the nagging feeling that their rikishi data's key column is the shikona, not any id number.
