July Basho 2020 - Day 15

Kakushoyamaii won convincingly on the final day to win the tournament without the need for a tie-break. A fine debut. He should be getting a nice bump up the banzuke as a reward.

Chishafuwaku prevailed in the Juryo death match. Makushita was a lot closer. Wolfgangho and Patikoyama finished with 13-2 records as well as identical scores so the tie-break went to the direct match between the two players on day 12. Wolfgangho won that one and so is named the winner of the Makushita tournament.

And finally we are sad to report that Sekiwake Yamashiro failed in his quest to quickly return to the ozeki rank. He will now have to be promoted in the usual way.

Thanks for playing. See you all in September.

July Basho 2020 - Day 14

Kakushoyamaii looks an almost certain winner after he won today while rival Flohru lost. He can be caught on wins if he loses tomorrow but is five points ahead of the nearest contender and so would need a calamity to happen to lose the yusho. And you may notice that this M17E yusho may also be matched by a M17E yusho by Terunofuji on the real dohyo. Amazing.

Sekiwake Yamashiro is leaving things to the final day. After losing again he now needs to defeat Hironoumi to return to the ozeki rank.

In Juryo Chishafuwaku and Reeeen will meet in a straight death match to decide the yusho. In Makushita Wolfgangho and Patikoyama lead. Balon and Unagiyutaka have the necessary points to challenge for the yusho if the former duo both lose.

Good luck to all the players!

July Basho 2020 - Day 13

More drama as Flohru lost again, allowing Kakushoyamaii into a share of the lead thanks to his easy victory over Sekiwake Yamashiro. The sekiwake still needs one more win to return to the second-highest rank and has a tough bout tomorrow against in-form Komusubi Chocshoporyu

In Juryo former Komusubi Chishafuwaku joins Reeeen in the lead. The two Makushita leaders of yesterday both lost and they are joined in the hunt by Kasaiduro and Patikoyama.

And sadly Ozeki Andonishiki suffered an eighth loss and will be kadoban in September.

Some major turbulence in the yusho race as the two frontrunners both lost, allowing Sekiwake Yamashiro back into the frame. Flohru remains the sole leader at 10-2 but he'll be feeling the pressure a bit now. Yamashiro is now within one win of returning to the ozeki rank.
