31 and 10-5, that must be one of my best results. Cool! Thanks as always for running the game.

Congratulations! You gambarized and at least beat me... ( not like that's anything to brag about )

But it was really close and I am happy that I got a KK 

Well, a tie breaker again but this time I got the nod. Looks like it will come down to May to settle this epic battle! 

Hooray for our KKs!!!!!!!

Well said!

Best of luck to you in any other games you're playing during the Basho and as for GTB in May I can only say what probably no Rikishi ever said before...

I shall gambarize

 We have a first time winner in Sakura, in only his/her 3rd basho!!! Congrats!! Excellent!! 

 

 

I was not expecting that. I knew I did better than previously but that was much better. If only I knew what I did right, I'd be able to apply it next time.

Thanks for running the game. 

PS It's `her' .

46 after 48 in my first basho. I made 2 crucial mistakes which cost me a lot of points, because a lot of my guesses shifted just 1 step into the wrong direction. Why did i place Ichinojo at M3w and Tochinoshin at M14w? Absolute nonsense. That cost me dearly. Baka!

@Sakura You won't get the basho so easy in TUG

Four changes to the top ten ranks here. Oshirokita's 10-basho stint in green comes to an end, while Randomitsuki also drops out after five basho. Chishafuwaku and Gurowake are the others to fall. Replacing them are four returnees, most notably Frinkanohana who is back in the top ten for the first time since 2008 Haru. The gap of 51 basho puts him in second place on the list of most basho between top ten appearances. The other returnees are Ullishimaru after an 11-basho gap, Asashosakari after a single basho, and Pitinosato after a three-basho gap.

Runner-up Susanoo had one more bullseye score than the winner but misses out on the yusho with one fewer correct guess in total, and also just misses out on a return to the green ranks, now in 11th place.

I'm celebrating a new career high rank of 7th, one place higher than my previous best which came in my top ten debut, way back in 2009 Kyushu!

Almost forgot. CONGRATS TO SAKURA!!!

Congratulations, Sakura, for her Yusho in GTB (the first Yusho, achieved in 2017 Haru!

I am very grateful that you are on TUG's Banzuke Committee.

Best Regards,

Achiyama

A bit late, but the selection stats are in. No really outliers this time as all rikishi had selections for the correct rank. The biggest surprise seems to be Tokushoryu's promotion to Makuuchi at the cost of Chiyootori. He even left Nishikigi behind who is among those with bad banzuke luck (measured against the guessser's expectations) as are Myogiryu, Ura, Daieishi, Kotoyuki and Hokutofuji. Sadanoumi (will you never learn? ) and Endo are among those with good banzuke luck.
