Kintamayama 41,274 Posted March 18 (edited) Well, Chaingang has gone off the wall too. 30 players remain after day 7, which is crazy, like you telling me Midorifuji is leading the yusho race alone.. Oh.. wait..ermm.. This basho there are three rikishi you can more or less bank on- Asanoyama, Ichinojou and Ochiai, and others you can dance around with. Anyhow, kudos to the players. I still think we'll be done by day 10 as this can't go on forever, but very cool. Edited March 20 by Kintamayama Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Athenayama 524 Posted March 22 (edited) Considering the H2H, I had picked Mitakeumi first but something told me not to.... then changed my pick to Abi. Phew ! ! Edited March 22 by Athenayama Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking forward to some whining! ;) Not from me When the mono-ii was called I hoped they would apply the "dead body" rule. I had picked Atami in a 50/50 decision between him and Abi. My own fault to pick Atamifuji. Ganzohnesushi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got a little lucky in Bench; my opponent did pick Mitakeumi. I got burned looking at the head-to-head several bashos ago, so I'm on top of Tamawashi beating his ass recently. It's a nice advantage over some people once every two months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sumo Spiffy 277 Posted March 23 And only now, going into day 13 with four of us left, do I look at the tiebreaker rules. It's OK; if I had taken that into consideration yesterday, I'd have picked Churanoumi and been out. But now I have to try and hex you all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
