Problem with the confirmation mail. Your entry is in.

[Kintamayama 44,658]

The confirmation mail seems to be off-sorry about that, but the entries are being accepted as usual.

Done, sir!

[Hidenotora 63]

The new server for the db somehow less reliable than the old one...

What's the email address for entries? Someone on the Grand Sumo Discord wants to enter but the entry form is totally inaccessible, which I think is where the email address for entry is located. Maybe it could be put on the GTB splash page since it's hosted on Kinta's personal website and won't go down.

The entry form is accessible to all when the site is up. Now, for example. Patience is required. Still a few hours to go.

Yeah, they managed to enter I think. I know you always say to enter with plenty of time to spare but some people like to procrastinate! Cheers

162(?) entries.

I was in a gamblin' mood with the joi:

Terunofuji (Ye 11-4)     Y    ---
Shodai (Ow 6-9)          O1   Takakeisho (Oe 1-3-11)
---                      O2   Mitakeumi (Se 13-2 Y)
Wakatakakage (M1e 9-6)   S    Takanosho (Sw 7-8)
Abi (M6w 12-3)           K    Ura (M2e 8-7)            

Hoshoryu (M6e 11-4)      M1   Onosho (M5e 10-5)
Ichinojo (M2w 8-7)       M2   Tamawashi (M3e 8-7)
Daieisho (Kw 7-8)        M3   Meisei (Ke 5-10)
Kiribayama (M1w 6-9)     M4   Endo (M3w 7-8)
Takarafuji (M7w 9-6)     M5   Ishiura (M12e 11-4)
Hokutofuji (M4w 6-9)     M6   Kotonowaka (M14e 11-4)
Takayasu (M7e kosho)     M7   Okinoumi (M4e 4-11)
Sadanoumi (M11e 8-7)     M8   Chiyoshoma (M5w 4-11)
Wakamotoharu (M15e 9-6)  M9   Tobizaru (M8w 6-9)
Aoiyama (M16e 8-7)       M10  Kotoeko (M17e 8-7)
Kotoshoho (J2w 11-4 Y)   M11  Terutsuyoshi (M11w 7-8)
Shimanoumi (M9w 5-6-4)   M12  Chiyotairyu (M12w 7-8)
Chiyomaru (M13e 7-8)     M13  Myogiryu (M10e 5-8-2)
Chiyonokuni (M9e 4-11)   M14  Yutakayama (M13w 6-9)
Akua (M10w 4-11)         M15  Tochinoshin (M15w 7-8)
Nishikigi (J2e 9-6)      M16  Kagayaki (J1e 8-7)
Kotokuzan (J4w 10-5)     M17  Azumaryu (J5w 9-6)

The lower half basically wrote itself, which probably means the committee will have done something entirely different. Compared to @Reonito's entry, though, I see that all we differ on from Takayasu downwards are West/East flips at M7/8, M8/9, and M16/17.

I'm guessing a lot of entries will have Kotoshoho ahead of Kotoeko and possibly also Aoiyama, however. Not that it should have much of a wider scoring impact since those three appear to be locked in for the M10e-M11e block regardless of their internal order.

[Kaito 277]

Mine matches Reonito's aside from flipping Okinoumi/Sadanoumi and Chiyoshoma/Wakamotoharu, as seen in Asashosakari's.

I did have Kagayaki over Kotokuzan in my first draft, and Kotonowaka/Hokutofuji marked as potentially flippable.

I went in thinking this was the trickiest banzuke I've looked at with the conundrums involved at the top and bottom and how many potential solutions were possible for each, but once you solve them, it falls into place pretty predictably. No guarantees that the committee solves them the same way, but I wasn't second guessing myself at all once I had it settled.

[Hoshotakamoto 256]

I am intending to eventually replace my picks with a computer generated lineup but I didn't make any headway on it in the past 2 months.

I was desperately pushing buttons at 17:59 GMT to try and get these submitted and had to fall back on an email submission so I don't know if anything will be official for me this month.

Also these are my least favorite picks in 4 outings to date - I'm not willing to defend basically any of them (except Oho > Azumaryu).

Daieisho (Kw 7-8)        M3

That is bold. There have been a few instances of Se (7-8) -> Sw, but never Sw (7-8) -> Sw, so this would be unprecedented leniency for Takanosho and unprecedented harshness for Daiesho (not to mention very good luck for Ura), but as we've extensively discussed, there aren't great solutions for this area.

Yeah, I think those were the last choices I made, and I went back and forth on them. If these decisions happened a little lower down on the banzuke, I'd go with what you guys did, but as it is I thought it would just not be demoting Okinoumi and Chiyoshoma enough after their 4-11 records; I could easily be wrong here.
