Banzuke forecast
What will the next banzuke look like?
We forecast the next tournament's ranks from the last one's results with transparent rules. When the Association publishes the real banzuke, we grade ourselves in public.

How we forecast
- Yokozuna never drop. An ōzeki loses the rank only after two make-koshi in a row (kadoban).
- Sekiwake and komusubi with kachi-koshi keep their rank; there are always at least two of each.
- Everyone else moves one rank per net win (absences count as losses), and san'yaku vacancies go to the best-placed wrestler with kachi-koshi.
- We do not model promotions from Makushita or discretionary committee decisions (e.g. ōzeki promotions).
