Waiting to hear from @Tetsuba, @Chijanofuji and @Terarno.

[Jejima 1,443]

Let the games begin!

First up, Mae-zumo.

Let's randomise the names....

1. bettega (mz)
2. Kajiyanosho (mz)
3. Joputosu (mz)

And let's assign some Jonokuchi rikishi for them.....

 

Edited August 30, 2024 by Jejima

[Jejima 1,443]

bettega will start his Sekitori Sweepstake career with Jk1e Hara.

Hara might be the highest ranked rikishi in Jonokuchi, but has never had a KK - yet.

[Jejima 1,443]

Kajiyanosho has drawn Jk11e Sadanojo.

Hmmm, looking at Sadanojo's recent records, he seems to be a 'one-and-done' rikishi, in that he only fights one bout per basho. My guess is that he may well be withdrawn at the start of the basho, and Kajiyanosho will need a replacement.... but we will see.

[Jejima 1,443]

Joputosu will be represented by Jk3w Tsuru.

Oh. Tsuru has skipped the past two basho. Joputosu might need a replacement too.... Stay tuned!

[Jejima 1,443]

That completes the mae-zumo draw for now. However, if any other new player would like to take part, just say so, before Sunday 8th September, and I will draw a Jonokuchi rikishi for you.  

[Jejima 1,443]

Onto Juryo..... 

There are 13 active players this time. Randomise them!

1. J6W Andreas21
2. J1E Chanko Thief
3. J3W Kaba
4. J7E Kachikoshi
5. J6E Taikoubana
6. J5W nelimw
7. J3E Kaiowaka
8. J4E Hoshotakamoto
9. J1W Katooshu
10. J4W Getayukata
11. J7W Iwadanuki
12. J2W Sakura
13. J5E Athenayama

[Jejima 1,443]

J6W Andreas21 will be championed by M15w Takarafuji.

Takarafuji was once a Sekiwake.... eight years ago!

[Jejima 1,443]

J1E Chanko Thief will be hoping for a little something from K1w Hiradoumi.

Hiradoumi is the first rikishi in Ozumo history to record a double digit KK (as he did last basho) at the rank of K1W, and not get any promotion at all! Hiradoumi is on a 5 basho KK streak - so could be a good draw?

[Jejima 1,443]

J3W Kaba (my youngest son) has been assigned J14w Oshoumi.

Oshoumi has had three previous bashos in Juryo, and has a 19-26 record in that division.

[Jejima 1,443]

J7E Kachikoshi gets M3e Mitakeumi.

Since his demotion from Ozeki two years ago, Mitakeumi has never had an MK in the joi-jin ranks. 

[Jejima 1,443]

J6E Taikoubana will hope for good things from J12e Daiseizan.

This is Chinese Daiseizan's first basho as a sekitori. But he starts in good form, as he won the Makushita yusho in July.
