shimodahito Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 TORCH MATCH ON HATSU DAY 1! (ok...no surprise here as the wildcard pick is always the last rank & rikishi on the banzuke) RIKISHI HIGASHI vs SHIJIMA RANK JONOKUCHI 29 EAST vs JONOKUCHI 28 WEST Player(s) up for points: wildcard's rank pick was JONOKUCHI 29 EAST. wildcard's rikishi pick was HIGASHI. since he's got both the rank and rikishi, a loss = 2 points, but a win = 6 points and an opportunity for more points in the next torch match. btw, we have 26 players this year. 6 more than last year. thanks to everyone who provided a pick.

Profomisakari Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 (edited) Hi Shimodahito This post is a good an very usefull information about the moves of the torch in Hatsu basho. But I have a wish: Is it possible to post a table of all participants of the game with their game shikona and their picked Rikishi and rank for the torch on the end of KyuShu basho 2009. This would give the participants more information to follow the standings during the 6 bashos and could make the game more interesting and atractive. As you wrote you had 20 players I could find 8 players to have posted their favorite and rank. Later came two more players. But who are the others and what do they have picked? Thank you! Profomisakari Edited February 8, 2009 by Profomisakari
