Guess Kiribayama's Aite - November 2022 edition

Recommended Posts

It still comes down to a tiebreak, doesn't it? If all parties concerned end at 10-5?

Technically, couldn't you or I catch them with two correct distinct guesses? Not that it's going to happen.

Yeah, yeah, right of course. I really need a reboot for my befuddled brain, thinking day 14 was over already. :-S

Maybe the smart play is to do something different from @Sumo Spiffy. I think it'll be Hoshoryu, but to keep the game interesting.

In the same spirit, and hoping they might pair up those two,

Since everyone with a shot at the lead has guessed, I'm gonna just say that I think:

  • Takayasu gets Abi.
  • If Kiri was 7-5, and especially if Hoshoryu had won to go 11-1 (and push Kiri out of any theoretical contending), Kiri would get Wakamotoharu. Wakamotoharu's most likely opponent seems to be Ryuden, which sucks, because I picked that as a match that wouldn't happen in Game 21. :'-(
  • With three 10-2s and three 9-3s, pairing them all up together is definitely possible. If they do so, breaking up Kiri and Hoshoryu, I concur with Nishikifuji as the next most likely option. But I think Kagayaki gets either Nishikifuji or Wakatakakage.

That's what I'm hoping for; especially since I had to avoid the other likeliest choices.

After two days of lulling us, the evil Kyokai shows that they still know how to throw curved balls. And *now* it really is a matter of Spiffy and Sakura. ;-)

Sumo Spiffy (K1w) 10-4
Reonito (Y1e) 8-6
Jakusotsu (S1e) 8-6

Are they trying to get Kiribayama force-promoted to sekiwake by feeding him cans?

Looking at the W/L matrix I don't even have confidence that they're going to do the kore yori sanyaku any more, so:

Day 15: Takarafuji

I just realized that I got all Ozeki and Sekiwake right for day 14...

Day 15 - Hoshoryu

I'm pretty sure getting this right (not this specific pick, any pick) requires predicting no fewer than four specific fights correctly—Wakatakakage/Hoku, Kiri/Onosho, Takayasu/Kagayaki, and Nishikifuji/Hiradoumi.

The real reason that they gave him Onosho is so that I can have another intra-team bout in Bench Sumo.

Well, I got the logic right, which gets me a self-administered pat on the back. I had Onosho on my bingo card for day 13, but not for day 14,
