Day 4 - qq is streaming abema in mid-makushita

qq has been streaming the abema programming from at least the start of juryo for the first 3 days of hatsu.

The day 4 makuuchi torikumi is late. Are they recalculating it due to one or two missing high rankers? It is up now with no major missers.

and are listed as kyujo from day 3 on the NSK site.

The problem is the word "potential". None of the young guns have yet developed the ability to dominate the upper ranks. Until some of them do, we are stuck with the nonsense.

Ok. Here is a bunch of them.

and qq is active in the start of Juryo.

All three yokozuna are scheduled for Day 1 matches. No sekitori are listed as kyujo.

There are 28 entrants for Hatsu 19 with 588 picks ( 316 A's, 260 B's and 12 X's ).

For Hatsu, Flohru is our most agreeable player; Chishafuwaku is very disagreeable. Aoiyama is our strongest pick. That sounds reasonable. This may be his basho. The 12 X's are spread across 9 matches. No 21 matches scheduled for Day 1. Let's get this thing going!

It's this new thing that they call an internet.

This is a mutual agreement between the two sekitori. It is far from normal.

We have a member who was unavailable for a while, but has now returned. He was recently playing in his PM box. It looks like an overload of PM conversations may, in fact, be the culprit.

All active.

I send PM's to my 21 game players and several others. In the past year, many members who formerly received PM's are now being flagged as not available for PM. I don't know if this is intentional or a forum glitch. If you are feeling lonely, check your profile to verify your PM/Email setup.
