Pick The Yusho Winners Haru 2018

[Itachi 337]

This is the thread for the Pick The Yusho Winners (PTYW) game for Haru 2018.

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.

Itachi: nmatsuo@shaw.ca or by pm here at the forum

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.

There is still time to enter until the first rikishi has their tachiai!

These results may be late but I've prepared the detailed results for each team again for the first time in many basho.

Since I finished first (my first time as administrator), I wanted to show everyone's full lineup.

I only found one yusho winner but my rikishi earned enough wins and kachikoshi to overcome that.

Congratulations to Flohru for finding the most yusho winners.

Several players were tied with me for most kachikoshi but no one matched me for overall wins.

Thanks for playing, I look forward to competing with you next basho!

Congratulations, Itachi, a well-deserved first yusho! I am pretty happy with the jun-yusho given the fact that neither one of my Makushita picks even managed a kk...
