East v West (Haru '08)

[Bealzbob]

Once again the rules are very simple. For each rung of the makuuchi & juryo banzuke, you must pick the rikishi (from the 2 rikishi at that rank) who you think will get the highest amount of wins in the upcoming basho.

An example

For the M1 rank we have

M1E Asasekiryu & M1W Kakuryu

You must decide who will win more bouts.

M2E Aminishiki & M2W Miyabiyama

Who will win more bouts

M3E Tokitenku & M3W Toyonoshima

Who will win more bouts

and so on and so forth.

There are 35 distinct ranks from yokozuna (1), ozeki 1 (2), ozeki 2 (3) through to juryo 14 (35).

If you think the EAST rikishi will win at that rank then please enter the number 1.

If you think the WEST rikishi will win then please enter the number 2.

If you think it will be a draw (identical records) then please enter the number 3.

If a rikishi is ever absent or an east/west banzuke slot is ever absent then clearly the other slot will win at that rank.

You get 1 point for each correct answer or 2 points for guessing a tie. This is due to the difficulty of guessing a tie.

Entrants can respond to this thread in the following format (use it as a template if you like. I've added the banzuke rank to the output to make it easier to follow, but you don't need that in your answer)

1. 1 (Y) 1 here means you think Hakuho will beat Asashoryu's record

2. 2 (O1) 2 here means you think Kotomitsuki will beat Kotooshu's record

3. 2 (O2)

4. 3 (S) 3 here means you think Ama & the 'geeku will win the same amount of bouts etc etc

An interesting tactic Flohru (Clapping wildly...)

[Flohru]

Most of the "3"s are actually consistent with my Seki-Oracle picks, but indeed with some others I hope to capitalize on the double point rule. Nonetheless I have a feeling that the intesting tactic might not be a successful in the end. (Laughing...)
