What's up with the Ozeki?

 

[EMG06]

Day 14 was probably my best day yet, 7 wins and 1 absent. Still not in this race, but at least I had a good showing!

Well done @uacowboy !!! What a dominating performance by both of the winners!

A new Ozeki and possible future Yokozuna! VERY FUN!

I thought it could have been close, but Kyle had 7/8 for the last day. Congrats @uacowboy !

I am getting caught up on the final videos now as I was away.

A few things I am wondering as we get ready for the last basho if 2024.

Will Terunofuji be back?

Takakeisho retiring is really unfortunate. He was honestly a great Ozeki in which injuries just cut his career short.

Makuuchi is extremely evenly talented, and our current Ozeki can not seem to control the ring. With Onosato getting the promotion it will be interesting if he can stay healthy.

Who gets Yokozuna first Onosato or Kotozakura?

 

[uacowboy]

Wow! I have been a couple days behind the whole Basho. I had not expected to be doing that well. It was an interesting tournament for sure.

With Onosato getting the promotion

Watching the Basho the commentators kept saying he had to get to 12 wins for the promotion.

Is that a rule of some sort or just generally accepted that he should be promoted if he can get a particular number of wins in a particular time frame?

Once you have sanysku rank (komosubi and sekiwake) you must obtain 33 wins over 3 tournaments to obtain Ozeki rank.

Time for the November contest?
