[Sokkenaiyama]

Day 3 - Aran (subject to change)

Edit: no change, Aran it is.

[Yaochoyama]

Day3 - Kotoshougiku

[Maguroyama]

Day 3 - Aran

[XiaoTan]

Day 3 Aran Neko

[Harry]

Stick with Aran I guess.

[Jakusotsu]

No clue what I'm doing here, so I just say

Day 3 - Aran

(In a state of confusion...)

[Profomisakari]

Day 4 Yoshikaze

Profomisakari

[Kofuji]

Day 4 - Yoshikaze

[Oshirokita]

well, to keep on the same horse until he comes in:

Day 4 Kotoshogiku

[Jejima]

On day 3, Kisenosato will meet M4W Aran, which some people predicted correctly.

Sokkenaiyama is still undefeated (a record for this game, perhaps?), and so is invited to make an early day 3 pick. He has a whole host of players on his tail though....

Oshirokita (S1E 1-2) S Sokkenaiyama (S1W 3-0)

Harry (K1E 2-1) K Yaochoyama (K1W 2-1)

Holleshoryu (M1E 0-3) M1 Jejima (M1W 2-1)

Maguroyama (M2E 2-1) M2 ilovetochinoshin (M2W 1-2)

Profomisakari (M3E 1-2) M3 XiaoTan (M3W 2-1)

Chisaiyama (M4E 0-1-2) M4 Kofuji (M4W 2-1)

Jakusotsu (M5E 2-1) M5

Maezumo

Hidariashiyama (mz 1-1-1)

Kisenosato's aites: 1. M3W Toyonoshima, 2. M5E Tochinonada, 3. M4W Aran

[Jejima]

Day 4 Tamanoshima (Showing respect...)

[Sokkenaiyama]

Day 4 - Kotoshogiku

It's suspicious there's actual logic in the torikumi this time around. It seems about time for the torikumi makers to go out and do something completely weird and unexpected. I see Jezz is already acting on that assumption.

[Hidariashiyama]

So since I missed Day 3, I thought I would put in Day 4.

Day 4 - Takekaze

[Holleshoryu]

day 4 yoshikaze again ...

[Chisaiyama]

I don't believe I had Aran for day 3 and then 2nd guessed myself out of a win. This basho is not boding well for me in any of my games so far!

Day 4 - Yoshikaze

[Jakusotsu]

Going with the flow...

Day 4 - Yoshikaze

[XiaoTan]

Day 4 - Kotoshogiku (or maybe not)

[Maguroyama]

I predict we're in for the first surprise of the basho - day 4 Chiyohakuho

[Yaochoyama]

Nothing can hurt your chances in this game like leaving for vacation, and such is my fate this day (Shaking head...). My picks for Days 4 and 5:

Day 4 - Kotoshogiku

Day 5 - Yoshikaze, then Chiyohakuho

I'm not sure if I can get access for Days 6 and 7, so I'd like to make provisional picks for those two days. If you don't hear from me, please give me the top available dog in this pecking order:

Kotoshogiku

Yoshikaze

Chiyohakuho

Baruto

I should be fine from Day 8 on.

[Harry]

Day 4 Kotoshogiku

[Jejima]

On day 4, Kisenosato will meet M6W Chiyohakuho, which only Maguroyama predicted correctly. (Showing respect...)

The Great Gruesome Sea Beast now joins Sokkenaiyama as a joint leader, so these two are invited to make an early day 5 pick.

Oshirokita (S1E 1-3) S Sokkenaiyama (S1W 3-1)

Harry (K1E 2-2) K Yaochoyama (K1W 2-2)

Holleshoryu (M1E 0-4) M1 Jejima (M1W 2-2)

Maguroyama (M2E 3-1) M2 ilovetochinoshin (M2W 1-2-1)

Profomisakari (M3E 1-3) M3 XiaoTan (M3W 2-2)

Chisaiyama (M4E 0-2-2) M4 Kofuji (M4W 2-2)

Jakusotsu (M5E 2-2) M5

Maezumo

Hidariashiyama (mz 1-2-1)

Kisenosato's aites: 1. M3W Toyonoshima, 2. M5E Tochinonada, 3. M4W Aran, 4. 6W Chiyohakuho

[Jejima]

Day 5 Kotomitsuki (Showing respect...)

[Harry]

My day 4 pick may have been a bit late so I'll keep it as day 5, Kotoshogiku

[Kofuji]

Day 5 ... my crystal ball said Yoshikaze was a better bet for day 5 but didn't give anything better for Day 4 ... Yoshikaze it is ...

[Chisaiyama]

I too will stick with my day 4 pick:

Day 5 - Yoshikaze
