21 Hatsu 09

[Asojima 2,874]

Welcome to the 21 game for Hatsu 09.

The game is a simple pre-basho game in which you are given 21 matchups that may occur in the next basho. You job is to decide whether each match will occur, and , if so, who will win it.

Each of the 42 makuuchi rikishi will be found in one and only one match. The matchups are selected on the basis of closeness in rank and the closeness in win-loss records. The intent is to select 21 of the least predictable matches.

Entries are submitted as posts in this topic. Each match will have two rikishi labeled

Wow still another game I haven't heard of before that I can't wait to try! I started out a few years ago with just FS over at SumoTalk and now this makes about a dozen (and I realize that makes me a piker compared to some others). Anyway here is my first attempt at the 21 game.

The countdown for the final 48 hours until the deadline has started. Get them in now! If you are waiting for kyujo announcements, it doesn't matter. If someone goes kyujo, everyone is a winner.
