WAKATAKE 2,256 Posted July 4 Welcome to JWS (Juryo Win Streak) Nagoya 2022! Last basho we had an exciting game that came down to a day 15 comeback, with player Tameiki earning a record tying 4th yusho in the game. Player Benihana also turned out good consistent performances over the last three basho and was rewarded with being the 5th player promoted to our games' ozeki rank! Hoping we can see many players during this summer frenzy. The goal of the game is to pick one juryo rikishi that you think will win for the day and try to get the longest streak possible. I am actually in the middle of revamping the rules to make it less confusing and to clear the issue regarding default picks. These new rules should be posted within the next day or so. In the meantime, I invite all to take the survey below to let me know your plans for competing in the game for Nagoya 2022. I can't wait to see you all soon for this always exciting game!

WAKATAKE 2,256 Posted July 9 New/Revamped Rules: 1. Pick one Juryo rikishi from the 28 ranked on the banzuke that you think will win for the day2.

However, you cannot pick their makuuchi or makushita opponents4. You can play by submitting picks via the Survey Monkey link, posting here in this thread, by PM, or by email 5.

Anyone is allowed to play, whether you are a forum member or not. Participation includes any method via rule 410.

The score is then rounded up to the next whole number to determine the KK line. Day 1 link will be posted after the torikumi has been announced. Looking forward to playing with everyone this basho!
