There are still no volunteers to actively assist (or replace) Profomisakari in administering the 21 game.  SAD!!

Thanks to the Professor for catching my many typo errors.

So that you can get used to my tables, here is my fight summary again.
I know it's not as beautiful as Asojima's tables.
But you will have to live with that in the future.

It was important to me that Asojima confirmed my A - B - X numbers.
Thanks Jim!

In the future, Tameiki will probably do that.
He contacted me the day before yesterday and apologized
because he was not allowed to see a screen the whole time because of an eye intervention. 
Let's let him get well first.
Then he can support my work at the next basho.

The most agreements with the other players has Raeucherlax.
This means "Smoked Salmon" 
He has 305 single pick agreements, 
Unkonoyama as the worst matching has 211.

No game 21 bout on day 7, 8 and 9.

You can, if you want to do it.
But why do you want to do it?
We have no banzuke.
So you can play the next basho like nothing happened

The basho has started.
Day1 brought three 21 game bouts.
Only one player had all three correct: The great Asojima!
Congratulation Jim!
But the winner will not be determined until the end of the basho.
Behind Asojima we have six players with two point and seven with one.
Ten of our players hope tomorrow for their first point.

I am beginning to like the concept of letting someone else select the matches.  

[Profomisakari 613]

Day 6:
Today we had again three game 21 bouts and the first time one B result.
This made possible for Unkonoyama to get his first point.
But as ever leads Asojima with now 10 points.
The second place holds now our British window cleaner Fujisan with 8.
before a group of 6 players with 7 points.

Tomorrow we have  once more 1   two bouts.
Thanks Tameiki!

Day 6:
The A - results seem never to end. I think it is due to the bout selection.
In Asojima's day this all was better.
But for Asojima it's very very good.
He is as ever 3 points ahead before only three pursuers.
Tomorrow for the first time in the basho we won't have any game 21 bouts.

[Asojima 2,835]

When I made my first pass through the matches, I ended up with 14 A's and 7 B's.  I thought. " That's a lot of A's."  I went back through, and noticed that 3 of my B's were real coin flips, so that was when I decided to go all A's.  There is nothing different between the Professor's picks and the ones I would have made.  Actually, I made a set of picks as a backup, and most of them were the same as the ones that were used.  The A vs. B choice is strictly a matter of alphabetics.  It has nothing to do with strength vs. weakness.  This is simply a god-awful strange coincidence, but I am enjoying it.

Asojima has at least a 4 point lead. From the possible 7 matches left i only have 2 Bs, so i can only aim for a JY at this point.

You are right, You have from the open 7 bouts only two picks different to Asojima and so you cannot equalize his three points lead.

Ah! Now I understand, why you say, he has 4 points lead,
Yes, from the five 9 points people have two players a theoretical chance to equalize his lead of 4 points: 
Tochinofuji and me with each 4 of the 7 open bouts different to im picked.

But who says the torikumi makers to realize just these  bouts to set into the torikumis - 
and who shall pay the yaocho for these guys who must lose their bout.
I haven't this money.

And then perhaps we have the same points as the great old Jim, but he has the better TB!?
No, I think Asojima will win this game this basho.
We'll wait until the end, because I think there will be a few more fights going on Senshuraku.
But then he'll win. 
And then that is like a divine providence.
This will be our thank to him.

Day 13:
Again one game 21 bout. Onosho beat Takarafuji.
This is once more “A”. Asojima had it, and too Asapedroryu.
The pursuers group became reduced to 3 players because Tochinofuji and Profomisakari had bet on B.
But just these two and only they had until today a chance to equalize their four points behind Asojima.
Now that chance no longer exists.
I can proclaim:

     Asojima will be the winner.
     Our first congratulation, Jim! 
         

Only the ranking behind him can now still change.

Day 15 – Senshuraku:

The Final day brought us once more three game 21 bouts.

Two times won the “B” fighters.
The whole time until today did this only one rikishi.
These two came to late for the most players
and they could not stop Asojima’s great run.

Behind him, they and the X scores for the fights that didn't took place made some changes.
On the second place is now the Screeching Owl per TB1 before Asapedroryu

A  great   congratulation once more

for his superior victory, even if only 2 points ahead.

                    

A special thank to Tameiki for taking control of my results tables for the first time.
I think we will work well together in the near future.

Thanks to all players for participation.
You all and many many new players are invited for May to a new game 21.
