Asashosakari 19,427 Posted March 13, 2024 Didn't get around to completing this back in January, but better late than never: Day 7 Results: Mz1 Takeuchi (3-3) Mz10 Kato (2-3) Mz5 Kyokutairyu (2-3) Mz4 Akiyama (1-4) Mz6 Kyokutendo (3-2) Mz11 Shibuya (0-5) Mz3 Fujihara (2-3) Mz10 Kato (2-4) Pretty good action to conclude this maezumo session. My feeble attempt at projecting the final day's matchups turned out to be completely wrong as they didn't bother to pair up by record, which would have required shifting a few guys to the opposite of their assigned side. Instead they just left everyone where they were and paired them up from that. Standings: 3-win target achieved #01 Mz9 Inami Onoe 3-0 #02 Mz7 Onozawa Oitekaze 3-0 #03 Mz2 Michihaya Onomatsu 3-1 [returnee] #04 Mz12 Suzunofuji Isegahama 3-1 #05 Mz13 Ayanofuji Isegahama 3-1 #06 Mz1 Takeuchi Otowayama 3-3 [returnee] #07 Mz6 Kyokutendo Oshima 3-2 Remaining order #08 Mz3 Fujihara Tokitsukaze 2-3 [returnee] #09 Mz5 Kyokutairyu Oshima 2-3 #10 Mz10 Kato Nishonoseki 2-4 #11 Mz4 Akiyama Takekuma 1-4 #12 Mz11 Shibuya Nishonoseki 0-5 #13 Mz8 Sato Nishikido 0-1-4 The order of the three 2-win guys surprised me; when I last paid closer attention to maezumo they were sorting them by the timing of their respective second wins, but that didn't happen here (it would have been Kyokutairyu / Kato / Fujihara with that approach). It looks like they just went with the original sign-up order instead. The order of the two winless rikishi differs from that, too, but putting guys with missed matches last appears to be a thing they still do, so Sato ended up behind Shibuya despite his lower number. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asashosakari 19,427 Posted March 13, 2024 Shusse. Nishikido-beya's Sato was absent, but was scheduled to be presented with the shikona Nishikio (as evidenced by his Kyokai profile getting changed at that time), making that his "official" shikona for maezumo. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
