Makunouchi Banzuke Page
Guess the Banzuke - Aki-Basho '95
Talking about Aki - It's hell here in Japan,
even with aircon at full power we still have
a room temperature of over 30 Degrees celsius
at night !!! (yes i *did* select Cooler on the
japanese remote control)
never mind the heat, it's time to kick off the
silly season killer: Guess the Banzuke ...
I just added one bonus point for an exact hit in the
maegashira ranks, it's a difference if you're
close to it or if you pinpoint it.
Don't hurry, the banzuke is due at August 28, so plenty
of time to think about.
As for the dead-line, it's the morning of August 28, when
I stagger into my jimusho ...
If your mail bounces back during the week from 14th to 20th
please retry it, our servers are down for *their* summer
vacation.
If some kind soul would repost the final standings of Makunouchi *and* Juryo
it would be very helpful for all willing to participate ...
Rules:
^^^^^
First of all, a reference is generated from the actual banzuke. With
no difference to Sanyaku and Maegahira, a simple ranking will be done
considering east and west positions. If we have the following Banzuke:
MAKUNOUCHI:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Y - Takanohana [ 13 - 2 ] Y - Akebono [ 12 - 3 ]
O - Takanonami [ 11 - 4 ] O - Musashimaru [ 13 - 2 ]
O - Wakanohana [ 12 - 3 ]
S - Kaio [ 8 - 7 ] S - Kotonishiki [ ? - ? ]
K - Akinoshima [ 11 - 4 ] K - Musoyama [ ? - ? ]
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 - Kotonowaka [ 5 - 10 ] 1 - Takatoriki [ 7 - 8 ]
2 - Tochinowaka [ 4 - 11 ] 2 - Terao [ 5 - 10 ]
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
15 - Wakashoyo [ 8 - 7 ] 15 - Takamisugi [ 8 - 7 ]
16 - Kotogaume [ 5 - 10 ]
-------------------------------------------------------------------
JURYO:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 - Asanosho [ 8 - 7 ] 1 - Asahiyutaka [ 11 - 4 ]
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The reference would be:
1.) Takanohana
2.) Akebono
3.) Takanonami
...
9.) Musoyama
10.) Kotonowaka
...
39.) Takamisugi
40.) Kotogaume
41.) Asanosho
42.) Asahiyutaka
...
I do the same with the guessed Banzuke and will
calculate the absolute deviation for each rikishi
on the guessed banzuke. e.g.
Reference Banzuke Guessed Banzuke
----------------------------------------------------------------
M4: Kenko - Kushimaumi M4: Kushimaumi - Tomonohana
M5: Kotoinazuma - Tomonohana M5: Kotoinazuma - Kenko
----------------------------------------------------------------
you're score will be:
1 (Kushimaumi) + 2 (Tomonohana) + 0 (Kotoinazuma) + 3 (Kenko)
I think that's pretty straightforward and simple.
For those people, who would consider this too simple, I'll
include some bonus:
Changes in Yokozuna and Ozeki ranks are not considered,
since they are already known prior to the banzuke.
//---------------------------------------------------------------
For every correct Sekiwake/Komusubi: -2 points
if the position (east/west) is correct: -5 points
//---------------------------------------------------------------
For every Maegashira, if the position
(east/west) *and* rank are correct: -1 points
//---------------------------------------------------------------
If all sanyaku rikishi are guessed correctly,
disregarding their ranks: -3 points
//---------------------------------------------------------------
If all maegashira rikishi are guessed correctly,
disregarding their ranks: -3 points
//---------------------------------------------------------------
If all 'kaeri-makunouchi' rikishi,
coming from Juryo, are guessed correctly: -2 ponts
//---------------------------------------------------------------
I know it's quite redundant, but so what, it looks nicer and
more sophisticated ... At least to me ;-)
So even for all people like me, who don't know nothing
about banzuke-making, it's a good chance just to give it a try
and have fun.
I already wrote a script-file to make life easier for me
(and my company), please use the template below.
Did I miss something ?
As you can see, I allowed more than 2 Sekis/Komus and Maes.
If you think, they're not filled, just put some hyphens (-)
or spaces in there.
Take your time, probably you'll see some changes,
after all it's still an open standard (ISO)
Please use the template below, you can erase the dots
or leav'em I don't mind.

Give it a try !!!
I'm sure, the sanyaku ranks will be discussed here,
so even if you post me your banzuke earlier, I still
accept (not except like last time) it.
