Ryoshishokunin

I'm in the wind up to moving house and thought I could get through this basho beforehand. Turns out, no. I'll be absent for the remainder of the basho.

5. Yutakayama

Jeez. Didn't one of the foreigners already wait three years? Poor kid.

4. chiyonokuni (Also, I apparently i can't keep track of the torikumi down to M12 without making mistakes. Second day out of three I got the logic right and then misread the answer.)

Revised guess: 3. Terutsuyoshi

LKS Nov 21 1. Terunofuji 12 2. Meisei 8 3. Hagiwara kk 4. Hokuseiho KK 5. Kotoyusho KK 6. Awanokuni MK 7. Mitakeumi 8 8. Kaisho KK 9. Hiradoumi MK 10.Otsuji MK 11. Atamifuji KK 12. Abi KK 13. Asanowaka MK TB 12

Not a lottery. I just didn't check for do-beya matchups and now feel dumb. 3. Tochinoshin

1. ishiura 2. yutakayama

It's modulo four rather than 2 for day 2..

No. Lowest he's been is just out of the joi. (We actually didn't use Kise for some years, with a rotating cast of characters in use when I joined: after ozeki promotion Kise's schedule was too 'easy'. The decision was made to go back to a fixed guy to get more investment in him until he either cratered or got promoted: we'll see if Hokutofuji makes enough of a recovery to keep being our dude.)

15. takarafuji

14. onosho?

13. takarafuji

... apparently, my eyes are crooked. Second time that's happened this basho. *Goes back and looks at the matchup matrix* Er. Takarafuji?

Too lazy to think deeply today. 12. takanosho
