Sumo Spiffy 521 Posted July 15 9 hours ago, Jejima said: So, why was Shonannoumi the 'correct' pick for day 3? I wish to learn! Another way of looking at it, in this particular case, is that until Takayasu went kyujo, we knew Ura would be the third maegashira in line of those not getting sanyaku matchups. Therefore, the first two would get matched up, and Ura would get the one after that. He only starts getting pulled into higher rank matchups if the two ahead of him already fought each other. So, he'd have gotten Tobizaru if the two leftover were Gonoyama and Tobi, but since it was (supposed to be) Takayasu and Tobi, Ura would have had the next guy down. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Profomisakari 819 Posted July 15 (edited) Now I have set my Intrasanyaku pairings (which I hold for the best), and my old thought said to me: Ura's partner for day 4 should be Shonnanoumi. BTW Yesterday I didn't know that Takayasu goes kyujo. But I find it fine that this is a game among the life. and not all is predictable. So it is a game!

Jejima 1,299 Posted July 15 Careful calculation and I get..... 4. Shonannoumi (why are so many predicting Atamifuji?) (I am feeling like England in the Euros... bumbling along, not playing as well as others, yet still being in the mix for the championship!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing y'all have different sanyaku matchups than the rest of us. If you have an ozeki in the intra-sanyaku matchups, then Shonannoumi makes sense. If you don't, Atamifuji becomes much more likely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gurowake 3,872 Posted July 15 I'll just assume that everyone that got that right was successful in predicting Takayasu's kyujo. I don't want to know if you just lucked into it. 4. Atamifuji 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sumo Spiffy 521 Posted July 16 I'm genuinely torn between Meisei and Takakeisho. There's a logical method to play the whole basho out nice and clean, and then there's what they've done recently, and I can't decide which way I think they'll go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sumo Spiffy 521 Posted July 17 Since I didn't get a chance to come back until now, and obviously I can see everyone's picks, I gave Yuria the options and let her choose for me. 5. Takakeisho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jakusotsu 5,721 Posted July 17 (edited) Now my flabber is gasted - why does the M2 bout happen before the M4 bout? Mitakeumi would have been my choice for Takakeisho. Nice call by the leaders!
