Sandanme Game Aki 2024

[Itachi 395]

The Sandanme Game will run again for Aki 2024 in the same format as used for last 10 basho.


The usual invitation has been amended to allow for the reduced ranks in this division which began with Natsu 2022:

For the Sandanme Game, please send me your list of 15 rikishi from the usual segments of the banzuke.

The segments had to be modified due to the reduction of ranks to 90. The only change is that the 51-60 group is split into two groups.

Sd 1-5/6-10/11-15/16-20/21-25/26-30/31-35/36-40/41-45/46-50/51-55/56-60
61-70/71-80/81-90+ (81-90 including tsukedashi if any)

Your rikishi earn points for each win, for a kachikoshi record, for leading their group, and a bonus for the best scoring rikishi on each team based on how close they were to the yusho winning record. The result is adjusted so that the best possible score gets a 15-0 result. 

The drone Mirai knows the future and always selects the best rikishi in each group. This shows us what the best possible score would be at each stage of the game.
The drone Genzai picks the most popular rikishi from each group. This drone has tended to score well.
The drone Mukashi picks the rikishi in each group who had the best record last basho. This drone isn't expected to score well but sometimes surprises us.

Send your entries to me at matsuorussellj@gmail.com before any of your selections enter the dohyo for their match (and preferably a few hours before that).

Hey Everyone!

Due to life circumstances, I did not find the time and energy to prepare for or participate in this tournament. My apologies to all those who have supported these games with your participation over many years.

I hope you are all enjoying the ozumo basho and the other games you have been playing.

Be assured, I am not in ill health or anything, just working long hours as I establish myself in a more interesting position in my professional career. As much as I enjoy sumo, I need to preserve my energy for other things at this time.

I hope to return to my usual sumo activities in January, but that is not certain. If there's someone who wishes to take over the administration of either of the games I've been running, please contact me and let me know.

Thank you all for your interest in these games over the years and good luck with your other sumo activities!

Sincerely, 

Itachi

[Profomisakari 846]

Many thanks for both games!
