Last year's bashos... a bit of confusion




I've been looking at past banzukes that I downloaded off the WWW 
somewhere, and there appear to have been a few minor errors on one or
two pages and I was wondering if someone could help me out.

In Nagoya (July) 94, Daishoho was (apparantly) at W7, Kitakachidoki at
E8, and  Kiraiho at W8. Daishoho and Kiraiho went 7-8, and 
Kitakachidoki went 8-7. So here is that part of the banzuke w/ final 
records.

Kotonowaka           M7   Daishoho (7-8)
Kitakachidoki (8-7)  M8   Kiraiho (7-8)

Fine, but in the Aki (September) 94 banzuke we see Kiraiho at E11, 
which is fine, BUT Daishoho all the way down in the boonies at E13!!! 
With = the same record, he went from one rank above to two ranks 
below Kiraiho!  Not possible, at least according to Sumo Kyokai's 
normal banzuke-making behavior or "protocol" for lack of a better 
term. Something's a miss...

Furthermore, Kitakachidoki is at W10... _dropping_ two ranks with an
8-7 record. Again, not possible given the normal expectations of
banzukes.

Can someone please confirm for me the accuracy (or inaccuracy) of this
information. I can=B9t believe it could all be accurate, and would 
like to figure out which part of it is causing the problems. 

Thankx... Dhuggy
