Guess Ura's Aite - September 2024 edition

Recommended Posts

I didn't think they'd start feeding the top maegashira to the sanyaku already given the leader had a two-win cushion.  I guess they're just used to automatically doing it once the maegashira get KKs?

The other option I considered is Atamifuji, but I think there are more ways they could get wild with his matchup. 5-6 vs. lower-ranked 7-4 is one of those options that they could easily skip past, but also it would look sensible enough if they did it.

FWIW, I've got Daieisho and Hiradoumi swapping Nishikigi and Takayasu, Oho v. Wakamotoharu, and Shodai v. Wakatakakage.

Extra complication: this would be a pretty good time to wait on releasing the schedule until after the results are in.

Is there any doubt they will? I'm sure we've already seen the last kaobure.

After much reflection and filling out a full Makuuchi schedule (other than who the Juryo abductee will be), I have landed on....

Did they wait last night? I wasn't up.

I'm utterly split between Atami and Waka Deux. Do they go in order or do they go Waka/Ura because they're both KK? Best I can figure, whoever doesn't get Ura gets Churanoumi, and Waka/Chura seems like less of a reach.

Of course, if they wait to do the schedule and Waka Prime loses, this probably all goes in the trash.
