Day 12-15 the Yokozuna has to fight the 4 Ozekis so that only leaves him Day 10 or 11 for the 2 Sekiwake's and since Kotoshogiku has got the 7-1 record I think they will give him the first shot on Day 10 therefore I will beat this dead horse one more time and go with Day 10: Baruto

I'll join the Estonian bandwagon: Day 9: Baruto

I agree with his numbers at this point it definitely should be an Ozeki. Day 8: Baruto

Day 7: Baruto

I keep track of my scores on a daily basis and I can tell you that, for me at least, all of those days are bogus. It shows 51, 132, 69 & 69 for the 1st 4 days when in reality I scored 75, 57, 96 & 78 for those 4 days. Gusoyama's normal pattern would not have these scores updated until after Day 5 or 6 so I'm wondering if he has a hacker on his hands.

I'll go along with the flow: Day 6: Toyonoshima

Day 5: Toyonoshima

I think I will stick with Day 4: Tamawashi

Day 3: Tamawashi

Day 1: Yoshikaze Day 2: Aran

1. A 2. B 3. B 4. A 5. A 6. A 7. A 8. A 9. B 10. A 11. A 12. B 13. B 14. B 15. B 16. A 17. B 18. B 19. A 20. B 21. A

It's just totally ironic that the most exciting basho in, I can't remember how long, is being played out to a half-full stadium with only one or two sold out days so far! Whenever Kaio retires, they should drop the Kyushu basho entirely and give Osaka two or add a 4th for Tokyo as Fukuoka just can't be a money maker for the Kyokai, but that's fodder for another thread. It just doesn't make sense not to give a potential Yusho winner a shot against the expected Yusho winner so I will go with: Day 15: Goeido

Very tough choices for Day 14 & 15 for sure. I agree that with Toyo in the Yusho hunt in a big way after beating Bart, another Ozeki or Sanyaku would be the choice for him. I believe it will be either Yoshikaze, Tokusegawa or Tamawashi, but which one? Ideally it should be Tamawashi but Yoshi is a great choice too. After flipping a coin it came out Day 14: Tamawashi

Day 13: Aminishiki

I too believe it will be one of the (to quote Hiro Morito) "wily bedouins" Aminishiki or Kotoshogiku, but which one? I think Day 12: Aminishiki

Climbing aboard the Komosubi bandwagon: Day 11: Tochinoshin

Day 10: Aminishiki

I think the torikumi makers want to build up his confidence a bit hence the Asasekiryu pick for Day 8 and he also has a very good reocrd against Amischneaky so I will guess Day 9: Aminishiki

Day 8: Aran

The odds are Takanohana has an english speaking aide reading this forum to try our patience but what the heck I'll go along for the ride once more: Day 7: Kakuryu

Unbelievably predictable this time around, how long willl it continue? Day 6: Kakuryu

Hopefully there is room for one more on the wagon: Day 5: Kotooshu

There appear to be several mini-bandwagons for Day 4, but I will repeat my Day 3 choice and hitch my star to the: Day 3: Kaio, bandwagon.

Being one of the myriad of co-leaders after Day 1 & 2, I will make an early Day 3 pick: Day 3: Kaio

I'm late, I'm late, I hope I'm not too late! 1. A 2. A 3. B 4. X 5. A 6. B 7. A 8. A 9. B 10. A 11. X 12. A 13. B 14. B 15. A 16. A 17. A 18. B 19. B 20. B 21. B
