Asojima 2,855 Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) Welcome to the 21 game for November 20. The game is a simple pre-basho game in which you are given 21 matchups that may occur in the next basho. Your job is to decide whether each match will occur, and, if so, who will win it. Normally, each of the 42 makuuchi rikishi will be found in one and only one match. It looks like Kakuryu may not participate in the basho, so we have given Chiyotairyu two matches. 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 “A” and “B”. For each match, enter the match number and either A or B for your selected winner. If you do not think the match will occur, enter an “X”. For example: 1. A 2. X 3. B ... The winner is the entry with the most correct answers. (X counts.) If one of the rikishi for a match does not appear on the dohyo for the entire basho, that match will be counted as correct for all entries. An entry other than A, B or X will be counted as incorrect. If two or more entrants have the same number of correct picks, the one having the FEWEST other entrants making each of those correct picks will be the leader. If the agreement counts are equal, the entrant with the earliest time of entry will be the leader. Entry deadline is 2 days before shonichi at 05:00 AM (JST) on Friday, November 6. No new entries or entry modifications will be accepted after the deadline. Here are the 21 matches for November 20. The numbers in parens are the the results of the most recent matches between the two. 21 Nov. 20 A B 1 Ye Hakuho (0-0) Ke Terunofuji 2 O1w Asanoyama (3-1) O1e Takakeisho 3 Se Mitakeumi (2-2) O2e Shodai 4 Sw Takanosho (0-1) Kw Takayasu 5 M1e Kiribayama (0-0) M1w Wakatakakage 6 M2w Daieisho (2-1) M2e Onosho 7 M4e Hokutofuji (2-1) M3e Kagayaki 8 M5e Myogiryu (3-1) M3w Okinoumi 9 Mw Kotoshoho (2-2) M4w Tobizaru 10 M7w Endo (2-1) M6e Takarafuji 11 M6w Tamawashi (1-0) M8w Terutsuyoshi 12 M8e Aoiyama (0-0) M7e Tochinoshin 13 M10w Meisei (0-0) M9e Tokushoryu 14 M9w Kotoeko (1-1) M10e Ryuden 15 M11w Enho (0-2) M11e Sadanoumi 16 M12w Kaisei (0-0) M12e Yutakayama 17 M13e Hoshoryu (1-0) M15e Chiyotairyu 18 M14e Chiyonokuni (0-0) M13w Ichinojo 19 M15e Chiyotairyu (1-0) M14w Kotonowaka 20 M15w Kotoyuki (0-1) M17e Shimanoumi 21 M16w Akua (0-1) M16e Chiyoshoma Each match must appear on a separate line in your entry.
