Itachi 396 Posted May 8 This is the thread for the Pick The Yusho Winners (PTYW) game for Natsu 2025, thanks to Athenayama! Until further notice, the game will run just as it has the last several times. This is a pre-basho game where each player selects a rikishi from each of 8 sections of the banzuke. The player earns points for each win, each kachikoshi, and each yusho earned by their team of 8 rikishi. The sections of the banzuke are these: Sanyaku (Y through K) Maegashira Juryo Upper Makushita (Ms1-15 ) (* now including tsukedashi, if any, at these ranks) Lower Makushita (Ms16-60) (* no longer including tsukedashi from the Upper Makushita ranks) Sandanme (plus tsukedashi if any) Jonidan Jonokuchi That's it! Simple to understand, difficult to master. The hallmarks of any engaging game. Please send your 8 selections to Athenayama before the beginning of action on Shonichi. Athenayama: xphbobo@yahoo.fr Good luck with your picks. Special thanks to Oshirokita, the founder of this game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
