Seven 8-4s and one 9-3, and none of them face each other except Hokuseiho and Tsurugisho. Wild.

Edit: There's also a big headscratch with how they lined up the contenders who pulled sanyaku opponents. Onosho got the top guy available, which makes sense. Kotonowaka gets Kinbozan and Nishkigi gets Mitakeumi... but then Tobizaru gets Takayasu?

Who did see Atamifuji v Abi coming? Sometimes I don't get what they're doing at all...

That was one of the few I got right.

My day 14 strategy didn't account for the one person who could slide ahead of me nailing the pick. (Injonokuchi...)

I've devised enough options to account for whatever Reo and Guro decide to do. I definitely don't like them all equally, but I have them.

I can foresee a few situations where.....

15 - Atamifuji 

might happen :-)

So may permutations depending on Day 14 results. Okay, not going to overthink it:

The question is: would any of them affect our boy? I am leaning toward "No".

Some would. It's more a matter of how many.

It's easy to overthink it. Sometimes the obvious option is the most reliable one.

Eh, I still think it was the right probability call, even though I had drawn out a path that led to Kinbozan and mulled it for a while. Process over outcome ;-)

I said "sometimes", not "always". :-D

I managed to recover the onside kick, now I need to hit with the Hail Mary.

Yup, that was one of the alternatives. I see two reasonably plausible choices left for Spiffy if he wants to go for glory ... well, maybe three

You two took the first two options I came up with. I only found one other that looked plausible in at least a handful of scenarios.
