Finally, but not yet ...

Is it already 10 days since the Banzuke was released ???

Ummp, ... lame excuse ... blabla ...

Finished with that, now this:

I received a lot of feedback, and you found some serious errors,
as it's supposed to be, isn't it.

The major ahh oversight was the new bonus rule, which
says: 1 point for each correct meagashira.

Simply forgot that and used the old script.

As for the promoted to juryo: This time nobody is promoted,
thus, as long as you didn't include a former Juryo rikishi
you'll get it. Lucky you. And it was 3 points instead 2 as
stated in the rules. This time, it's easy points, but
usually it's a lot more tricky to guess.

Some people were surprised about the bonus points
they got in the sanyaku fields, even if they didn't
get the position right.

This time we got some 'weird' constellation
with those three Komus, so I had to work 
on my script. I kept it simple (for me) and
disregarding the rank (within a rank group)
you still get 2 points, thus, even if you have all
three komusubis mixed up, you still get 6 points,
since you set them in the komusubi slot.

Chris suggested that we should consider the
blank ranks between ozeki-seki-komu, i.e.
the empty haridashi ranks. Would have been a
good idea this time, coz' it would have caused
a desaster with Kotonishiki
on the west slot, but in the long run
it doesn't make too much difference.

But I leave it open to you, tell me how to do it.

Chris & Paul found one nice bug: whenever somebody got
no bonuspoints for sanyaku, the following entry
was denied them as well. Poor Chris & Paul, just the
wrong position in the queue ;-) Of course
I fixed this.

Give me some time to include the new rule,
so you'll be in for some surprise in the end.

If you want your corrected results as well,
let me know.

I also got a banzuke last week, and it inlude
some nice piece of info: The nicknames and
the hobby of the rikishi.

I'll try to post it 'bochi bochi'
