Seki-Quad senshuraku Aki'12

[Vikanohara 171]

The Juryo division will get an interesting climax, but what to say of the Seki-Quad outcome with no less than 18 players still in contention !

10-4

TB 40 : Andoreasu

TB 38 : Vikanohara

TB 32 : ScreechingOwl

TB 31 : Flohru, Doitsuyama & Profomisakari

TB 30 : Taka

9-5 (9-4-1, 9-3-2)

TB 38 : Leonishiki

TB 35 : chocshoporyu

TB 34 : Kaiowaka

TB 33 : Jejima

TB 32 : Takanorappa

TB 31 : Zenjimoto & Kasamatsuri

TB 30 : Bill & Gusoyama

TB 28 : Hogashi

TB 27 : kuroimori

I just don't know how to play now.

Obviously, I still have Harumafuji left. I won't use him.

But as for Takayasu, I don't know. He's helping my TB score, but he could win.

And from the 8 others I've got left, 6 are reasonable choices to me.

Should I save my best TB options and try to get there with 4 of these 6 guys ?

I guess I will postpone my decision until after midnight CET. :-P

It's already an improvement over yesterday when we had 11 players in the lead and 17 one win behind. (Laughing...)

I know I don't like my chances. At first glance I count ONE reasonable likely winner, maybe just maybe two, so will have to get very lucky which of course would also have been the case even with some good choices avalable. So even more lucky than very lucky then!

I think that's going to be true for most players, thanks to all the early kyujos...I already had only 5 projected winners in my remaining Day 14 choices, and I hesitate to even look at today's options. We might well end up with only one or two of the 10-4 players picking up a win.

Vikanohara, sounds like you might actually have one of the better remaining slates. :-)

And I really have to bite my tongue about one particular thing (been biting all week, actually)...if anybody knows what I'm referring to, please don't say it. ;-)

I guess I know, but I have already used my Harumafuji. Still I think I am going to select Hakuho for final day regular bout, I have him left - based on the whole Mongolian club stuff. :-P

Edit: So two new yokozuna, am I right? :-)

I picked well, by lining up 3 of the 4 rikishi left in my team that eventually won (well, I'm not counting Harumafuji here). Only thing I could have done better was also picking Kitataiki instead of Aoiyama. But the latter was about my most certain choice for senshuraku, so that was never going to happen. So I would like to thank Kitaharima, Sadanofuji & Chiyotairyu.

Andoreasu managed to pick 3 winners as well (Toyohibiki, Takekaze & Oniarashi) and he even increased his TB lead, so this is the final top 10 :

11-4

TB 43 : Andoreasu

TB 39 : Vikanohara

TB 31 : ScreechingOwl

TB 29 : Doitsuyama

10-5

6 players
