Asashosakari 20,307 Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) 1 hour ago, Bumpkin said: Asashosakari; Can you explain Mz1, Mz2, etc? Do you pick these numbers or does the Kyokai? If so, what is the reasoning? It's my own scheme. They're numbered in the order that their profiles are added to the Kyokai site, i.e. Mz3 = 3752 Kobayashi, Mz10 = 3759 Chiyo. Returnees are listed at the front of the pile (Mz1, Mz2) because that's how they typically appear on the dohyo.

Akinomaki 41,864 Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) Maezumo on day 5 - the owner of that channel is amazing: each day so far at the basho and at least since day 3 from the start of the day till the end (maybe with a break in the middle - leaving one time is possible).

Asashosakari 20,307 Posted January 12, 2017 Day 5 results: Mz1 Tokuda (2-1) Mz4 Ichiyamamoto (3-0) Mz9 Kawakami (3-0) Mz3 Kobayashi (0-3) Mz2 Nishimura (1-2) Mz8 Shido (2-1) Mz7 Omura (2-1) Mz6 Yabuoka (1-2) Mz5 Harada (0-3) Mz10 Aizufuji (1-2) Mz1 Tokuda (3-1) Mz7 Omura (2-2) Kudos, they avoided the Omura-Shido repeat matchup that would have ensued by scheduling the bouts straight down the list. Standings: 3-win target achieved:#01 Mz4 Ichiyamamoto Nishonoseki 3-0 #02 Mz9 Kawakami Onoe 3-0 #03 Mz1 Tokuda Musashigawa 3-1 Still active:Mz7 Omura Michinoku 2-2 | Mz2 Nishimura Musashigawa 1-2 | Mz3 Kobayashi Tomozuna 0-3 Mz8 Shido Kise 2-1 | Mz6 Yabuoka Fujishima 1-2 | Mz5 Harada Shikoroyama 0-3 Mz10 Aizufuji Isegahama 1-2 Tomorrow ought to be the final day. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bumpkin 438 Posted January 13, 2017 I don't understand the logic of mae-zumo match-ups. What was gained by having Tokuda face Omura today? Once less bout for tomorrow, ok, but now there are 7 wrestlers remaining instead of 8. That's an odd number. BTW, what's so special about 3 wins? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, so long as you put them out of the way from the corridors and walkways (mostly in the box seats). When the audience starts filtering into the stadium, you are expected to take them down so as to not block other people's view of the dohyo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 41,864 Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) Maezumo on day 6 - can we get the channel owner to do this basho coverage every day every basho? - donations for the daily tickets? Edited January 13, 2017 by Akinomaki 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yubinhaad 11,984 Posted January 13, 2017 13 hours ago, Akinomaki said: Maezumo on day 6 The first bout had all the action - a mawashi matta, the slowest uwatenage in history, and Kimura Soichiro emulating Kimura Tamajiro and pointing his gunbai the wrong way (luckily for him, the shimpan rarely waste time with mono-ii in maezumo). Although he's not doing very well, it's nice to see a new deshi for Tomozuna-beya, the first one since mid-2013. I guess it's understandable that the heya lost some of its pulling power when Asakayama left to open his own heya, but I'd still like to see more recruits. I wonder if ex-Kyokutenho also plans to go independent at some point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asashosakari 20,307 Posted January 13, 2017 Rugby guy Harada hasn't looked half-bad in his bouts even though he only took his first win today, but I'm struggling to believe that he weighs 86 kg. Maybe my perceptions are warped by seeing too many heavier sumotori, though... Nishimura looked pretty much just as hopeless as in his first maezumo go-around, and I'm already lining up a persistence spot for him. Kobayashi looks like a guy who won't even stay long enough for three MK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please. I have no idea how such things are managed. It would be unfair to deprive Tomozuna of the ex-Oshima rikishi, so I thought he'd start recruiting for Oshima while still in Tomozuna, with the intent to bring them with him to Oshima when it can open its new facility. I don't see much evidence of that, so I am puzzled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Takagawa-gakuen high 3rd year from Yamaguchi-city: "I want to become a rikishi loved by the Yamaguchi and the Japanese people." His rugby club was 2nd this year in the Yamaguchi championships, in middle school he only did baseball: he is without sumo experience, but thinks that sumo like rugby is a contact sport and wants to make use of his height. Tatsutagawa-oyakata had a lecture at the high school this year and went to the rugby club to watch training, where Harada caught his eye. In September Harada visited Shikoroyama-beya and then decided to enter. Till the shindeshi kensa in January he plans to increase meals to 6 a day and to train his muscles. A followup on Harada, now (18, 183cm, 93kg - with the 6 meals), who just graduates from high school: "I'm aiming for high makushita within 5 years." S.-oyakata: "As a beginner, losing at first is OK (maezumo 1-3), if only you put real effort into it!" http://www.minato-yamaguchi.co.jp/yama/news/digest/2017/0304/6p.html 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
