I did not think that was the sanyaku matchup they'd do.

 

What else were they going to do? It was the lowest remaining matchup by rank that wasn't potentially being held for day 15.

I don't quite understand them doing Kirishima-Onosato that early instead of Kotozakura-Daieisho...

Day 11 - Oshoma

Recently they've been burning through the lowest komusubi's sanyaku matchups ASAP, so I went with Hoshoryu/Hiradoumi. If they didn't do that, I figured they might do a Kirishima matchup since he had so many left. But it looks like this new rotation at the top of the sanyaku is pretty locked in now.

Your post doesn't appear to be on the forum, scrolling back.  That's why--no one else knows about it.  
I'm quite pleased with three from three, even if one was a total gimme.  

Gonoyama seems a really odd choice--why not go down one more for Wakatakakage?

Kotozakura has to face his remaining san'yaku opponents in descending order from day 11. They're clearly sticking to a formula, but it would for sure have made sense not to have this high-profile bout so early!

I appreciate that this won't be a very satisfactory answer, but did the post appear in the thread? There is a proviso in the rules (on page 1) that covers the times when the forum is down for a long time.....

7. If the sumo forum goes down for a long period of time, you may still make your picks to Jejima or Jakusotsu at the 'obvious' gmail addresses or by any other method. 

However, that is not great, as you need the sumo forum to be up, to be able to read it.

Maybe, I should highlight that rule for future bashos?

Since I personally know @Profomisakari to be one of the most honest persons in the world, I'd like to make his pick count if @Jejima agrees.

Fine by me :-) - (but not to be treated as a precedent ;-))

Please excuse me for complaining so much.
Of course is it not important if my Abi tip is valid.
But when I submitted it, the forum was still intact.
I went to bed and when I woke up, the Torikumi was there.
And I was happy about the good, correct tip.

Much later I noticed that the English forum was down and my tip was gone.
It would have been too late to send an email then.

Hence my disappointment.

Here is my tip for day 11:
Day 11 - Oshoma

I'm down to let Profo keep this one. I thought the whole day was going to be a wash; I don't want one person to get left out.
