Pandazuma Yokozuna Promotion
The Sumo Game Association decided to promote Pandazuma back to the Yokozuna rank after his impressive Makuuchi Yusho as Ozeki. He is only the second Ozeki to win a tournament since 2010. The other one was Yumezukuri who was promoted to Yokozuna after his tournament victory as Ozeki in Aki 2021. Congratulations!

Kyushu Basho 2024 - Day 15
Once again we saw chaos at the top of the leader board. Of the contenders, only Kiriazuma won. He forced a tie-break with Ozeki Pandaazuma but Pandaazuma wins by virtue of superior scoring. That's a fifth Makuuchi yusho for Pandaazuma.
In Juryo Andrasoyama lost again and Gansekiiwa won again to force a tie but Andrasoyama won the yusho on scoring. Both players can expect a nice jump up into the Makuuchi division in January.
In Makushita Tosanoumi and Rinsan finished with fine 13-2 records. Tosanoumi won the tie on points scored.
In banzuke news, Ozeki Pandaazuma has a chance of being considered for (re)-promotion to Yokozuna with 21 wins in two tournaments and a Makuuchi yusho. Although he is one win short of the 22-win requirement, he nevertheless has the most wins this year in the Makuuchi division fighting at the ozeki rank by quite a large margin. ;) The committee will deliberate!
Congratulations to all the winners and many thanks to everyone for taking part in 2024. See you all back here in the new year.

Kyushu Basho 2024 - Day 14
More drama as the two leaders lost. Ozeki Pandaazuma is still the sole leader but Komusubi Susanoo, Gonzaburow and Kiriazuma are one win behind. If Pandaazuma loses tomorrow and any of them win, a tie-break will ensue. Gonzaburow has the best chance in a tie as he is one point ahead in scoring, but he will have to get past new Ozeki Kakushoyamaii first, and the Ozeki needs a win to avoid kadoban.
In Juryo Andrasoyama lost to his main pursuer Gansekiiwa but he is still one win and three points ahead so he is very likely to win a tie-break even if he loses.
It's a similar story in Makushita as Tosanoumi leads Rinsan by one win but he is five points ahead in scoring so, once again, it's almost certainly going to the leader.
Good luck to all the contenders on the final day of the year!

Kyushu Basho 2024 - Day 13
Ozeki Pandaazuma returned to winning ways to gain an eleventh win. Gonzaburow won to stay one win behind. This is Gonzaburow's twentieth anniversary tournament and he has never won a Makuuchi yusho. He is the current points leader, however, so if he can force a tie-breaker with the leader, he will have a good chance of changing that.
Andrasoyama won again to stay two wins ahead and with his dominating score, he is almost certainly home and dry for a yusho. This performance is what one would expect from a former sekiwake.
In Makushita Tosanoumi is back in the sole lead. He has four players just one win behind to worry about.
