Disclaimer/introduction for new players

The Wall:

If a sumotori gets his first makekoshi (MK = losing record) in that respective division, it's called "hitting the wall" (KK = winning record, means missing the wall, which is a good thing). For makuuchi this basho it's Kiribayama, Kotonowaka and Kotoshoho. For Kotoshohoit's his first try in makuuchi. In juryo we have 0 guys to fight the wall.

 

Promotion/demotion/kadoban:

Asanoyama was promoted to Ozeki after last basho. If gets a MK, he will not be demoted, but ranked as kadoban Ozeki. A follow-up MK means demotion.

Takakeisho is kadoban after his 7-8 in march, it's his 2nd time. Will he manage to stay Ozeki this time?

 

Guess the colour of the giant macaron:

One of the prices for the yusho winner is a giant fake macaron (as placeholder for a load of real, normal sized macarons from one of the best Pâtisseries in Paris). The colour varies and it has become a popular game to guess it.

@Kotononami & @I am the Yokozuna please post your promotion/demotion here. Something went wrong with the poll.

I am betting on both Asanoyama and Takakeisho going KK next basho. I’m more confident on Asanoyama but feel like both will post good 10+ win records.

Takakeisho demoted to Sekiwake

Asanoyama KK

[I am the Yokozuna 193]

Both KK

I'm predicting the new guys will have trouble but the ozeki will both make it. I also think it should be a mask-aron in honor of the 'rona.

Pink macaron and the yusho for @just_some_guy with 5 correct answers. Jun-yusho, trailing 1 behind for @MumboJumbo, @ChickyStarr, @Mmikasazuma, @Churaumi and myself. Technique-prize for @pmac, only one to hit the macaron.
