You, literally, can't spell "fascist".

What a difference one bad call makes. If the judges had gotten Tochinoshin - Asanoyama correct, the leaderboard would be: S1w Tochinoshin 11-3 M8w Asanoyama 11-3 Y1w Kakuryu 10-4 M3w Tamawashi 10-4 Now that would be a Day 15!
-
24 consecutive promotions to start his career. That's got to be a record.
-
Kakuryu v Asanoyama would be for the yusho or, at least, a yusho playoff. (Unless, Asanoyama beats Goeido and Kakuryu loses to Tochinoshin).
-
For only your 20th post, that was the wisest thing said on this subject.
-
Too the best of my knowledge, this has never happened before.
-
Y1w Kakuryu (10-3) should face M8w Asanoyama (11-2) on Day 15. O1e Goeido (9-4) should face O1w Takayasu (8-5). That leaves S1w Tochinoshi (9-4) with a Maegashira on Day 15. Probably M5w Ryuden (8-5).
-
It's not impossible. If Tochinoshin's heel touched down there would be a mark left in the sand. No such mark exists. Therefore, Tochinoshin was not out. Bad call.
-
I would like to see video evidence to confirm Tochinoshin's heel touched down. I haven't seen it yet. There was no hansoku.
-
M8w Asanoyama (11-2) controls his own destiny. If he wins out, he will be 13-2 and win the yusho. Y1w Kakuryu (10-3) also controls his own destiny. If he wins out, he will be 12-3. That wins the yusho, if Asanoyama loses to Goeido. Or forces a playoff, if Asanoyama beats Goeido. (This assumes that Kakuryu will face Asanoyama on Day 15.) There is also the possibility of the yusho winner being 11-4. This could entail a multi way playoff.
-
There are 6 rikishi with a mathematical chance of winning the yusho. M8w Asanoyama (11-2) v O1e Goeido (9-4) Y1w Kakuryu (10-3) v S1w Tochinoshin (9-4) M3w Tamawashi (9-4) v M15w Kotoeko (8-5) M7w Meisei (9-4) v M4w Abi (8-5)

Day 14: O1e Goeido (8-4) v M8w Asanoyama (10-2) S1w Tochinoshin (9-3) v Y1w Kakuryu (10-2)
-
Y1w Kakuryu (10-2) has O1w Takayasu (7-5) on Day 13. He could face O1e Goeido (8-4) on Day 14. Then on Day 15, Kakuryu could face the winner of M8w Asanoyama (10-2) v S1w Tochinoshin (9-3). This way, Kakuryu would face both Ozekis and the rikishi with the best chance of winning the yusho.
-
Will M8w Asanoyama (10-1) be brought up to face Yw1 Kakuryu (9-2) and S1w Tochinoshin (9-2) on Days 13 and 14? If this is done, then Kakuryu could face Tochinoshin on Day 15. We shall see.
