Kotozakura-Kirishima is the correct intra-sanyaku match for today if they want to do the traditional top four round-robin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They could have done Onosato-WTK on day 10 and Kotozakura-Kirishima on day 11 to do away with the Komusubi as quickly as possible. I'm quite sure they would have done so if the records of those involved were the other way round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kotozakura as the lowest ranked Ozeki is tagged to complete as many of his Sanyaku matchups before the top two get involved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm quite sure they would have done so if the records of those involved were the other way round. If they had done this, they would have had to put Onosato and Kotozakura together on day 12, breaking the round robin. Otherwise, the only non-top-four matches remaining for day twelve would both involve Kirishima. They've done that early 2 vs. 3 match a few times fairly recently, so it was definitely possible, but now they can go Onosato/Waka Prime on day twelve and keep the round robin for four guys doing quite well.

Day 10: Onosato - Wakatakakage Day 11: Hoshoryu - Takayasu, Kotozakura - Kirishima Day 12: Hoshoryu - Kirishima, Onosato - Daieisho Day 13: Hoshoryu - Daieisho, Onosato - Kotozakura Day 14: Hoshoryu - Kotozakura, Onosato - Kirishima Day 15: Hoshoryu - Onosato, Kotozakura - Daieisho, Kirishima - Takayasu Works perfectly fine, or what am I missing?

Onosato/Daieisho is also part of the round robin. Yeah, they could have done this instead of Onosato/Koto, but I mentioned Onosato/Koto because they've done the 2 v. 3 match early more than 2 v. 4.

Sumo Spiffy 621 Posted May 19 21 minutes ago, Jakusotsu said: So you're saying Onosato-Kirishima needs to happen earlier because of that? Interesting, never thought of it that way... My understanding is that the round robin is set up as #1-#4 matching against each other on the last three days, unless something happens to break one or more of those matchups. Since the san'yaku is small, that accounts for both intra-san'yaku matchups on 13 and 14, and two of the three on 15. Kirishima is #5, so apart from his day 15 vs. Takayasu (whether or not it actually happens), his san'yaku schedule should be done by day 12. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
