Game 21 Haru Basho 2021

[Profomisakari 646]

Welcome to the game 21 for Haru 21.

This is the first basho without Asojima as administrator. As it seems I must do the administration as alone.

As I wrote with the final results of Hatsu basho, we had found a partner for the administration in the person of the player Tameiki. He got my evaluation Excel, played with it a little and told me that he didn't see any problems. But since this time, I got no answer to my emails, so I don’t know, if he still is available as a partner.

Hi Tameiki! If you are sick, I wish you a speedy recovery. Even if you are prevented from doing anything else, I hope that you can take part in the administration again later.

The game is a simple pre-basho game in which you are given 21 matchups that may occur in this basho. You have 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.  For Haru, the two yokozuna are still questionable, so we have included two matches for Kagayaki and on for the first of Juryo Tokushoryo.  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.  If one of the rikishi for a match is not listed on any torikumi 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 (tiebreaker 1). If these tiebreaker values are equal, the entrant with the earliest time of entry will be the leader (tiebreaker 2).

Entry deadline is 2 days before shonichi at 11:00 AM (JST) on Friday, March 12.  No new entries or entry modifications will be accepted after the deadline. This deadline I have changed from Asojimas proclamation.

Here are the 21 matches for Hatsu 21.
