XiaoTan 93 Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) Happy New Year everyone! Last year's Kyushu Basho saw the second consecutive Yusho of Kaiowaka and the second consecutive makekoshi of Yokozuna Flohru - what will 2022 bring to us FAWLers? Torafuji fought tooth and nail for his chance at the Yuhso but was edged out by Kaiowaka in a behind-closed-doors Ketteisen. Kaiowaka also takes the Shukun-sho, Kanto-sho and the Fus' Award. If you want to know who's winning - ask Kaiowaka - he won the Fus' Award 4 out of the last 6 basho. If you want to know who's losing, Torafuji may be your best bet - he's won the Abudi Award 3 out of the last 6 basho. Prizes Yusho: Kaiowaka (61 points) Jun-Yusho: Torafujii (61 points) Shukun-sho: Kaiowaka (10 3/3) Gino-sho: Not awarded Kanto-sho: Kaiowaka (3 6/6) Muppet-sho: Tameiki (1 0/6) Fus' Award: Kaiowaka (35 wins) Abudi's Award: Torafujii (31 losses) Complete standings Shikona Wins Loss 3/3 0/3 6/6 0/6 Points Score Kaiowaka 35 26 10 1 3 0 61 9-6 Torafujii 30 31 6 0 1 0 61 9-6 Athenayama 26 31 6 0 0 0 57 8-7 Neko 26 30 5 0 0 0 56 8-7 Terarno 28 26 6 2 1 0 54 7-8 chishafuwaku 26 27 6 2 0 0 53 7-8 Flohru 22 29 6 2 1 0 51 6-9 Tameiki 26 24 5 3 1 1 50 6-9 Edited January 6, 2022 by XiaoTan 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XiaoTan 93 Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) And finally the Banzuke. After two MK our Yokozuna Flohru is in danger of being demoted to Ozeki - a KK in Hatsu 2022 is imperative. The FYDC also convened and preemptively dismissed any talks of retirement in case of a MK in January - the FYDC insists that any rank above FAWL Juryo is more than good enough to continue competing. Since the two Yusho of Kaiowaka came off a bad MK, the FODC would like to see a bit more consistency for an Ozeki promotion but hinted that a KK in Hatsu 2022 would most likely do the trick. Similarly, Athenayama's KK kept his Ozeki run alive, but the FODC insists that a Yusho/Jun-Yusho or at least a record of 9-6 or better would be needed to make the jump.
