Pick The Yusho Winners Kyushu 2017

[Itachi 330]

This is the thread for the Pick The Yusho Winners (PTYW) game for Kyushu 2017.

Until further notice, the game will run just as it has the last several times. I will compile the results and post them as best as I can on this thread.

This is a pre-basho game where each player selects a rikishi from each of 8 sections of the banzuke. The player earns points for each win, each kachikoshi, and each yusho earned by their team of 8 rikishi. The sections of the banzuke are these:

Sanyaku (Y through K)

Maegashira

Juryo

Upper Makushita (Ms1-15 ) (not including any tsukedashi of any rank)

Lower Makushita (Ms16-60 plus tsukedashi if any - including Ms 10 or 15)

Sandanme (plus tsukedashi if any)

Jonidan

Jonokuchi


That's it! Simple to understand, difficult to master. The hallmarks of any engaging game.

Please send your 8 selections to me before the beginning of action on Shonichi.

As a reminder, I am only a temporary caretaker of this game until Oshirokita can address the reconstruction of his system. All banzuke, website, and records updates will be on hold until then but the game itself and results postings will continue here on this thread.

Good luck with your picks.

Bumping the topic - still time to get your picks in - a few hours at least!

Big congratulations to the game inventor, Oshirokita for achieving the best score for the Kyushu basho!

It is the first time he has won the yusho since I began compiling the results for his game.

A Jun-Yusho for me? Great!

And congratulations to the winner, Oshirokita!
