21 Nagoya 10

[Asojima]

Welcome to the 21 game for Nagoya 10.

The game is a simple pre-basho game in which you are given 21 matchups that may occur in the next basho. Your job is to decide whether each match will occur, and, if so, who will win it.

Normally each of the 42 makuuchi rikishi will be found in one and only one match. Since we will have only 35 makuuchi competing this basho, I am including 2 matches for Tosayutaka and 3 Juryo matches to get a total of 21 matches. The matchups are selected on the basis of closeness in rank and the closeness in win-loss records. The intent is to select 21 of the least predictable matches.

Entries are submitted as posts in this topic. Each match will have two rikishi labeled

New entrant Andonishiki has the most entries in common with the other entrants, and Shimodahito and Barang are tied with the most outrageous picks. Shimo is also the only one who thinks Aminishiki will take Kisenosato. I agree with him, but I didn't have the guts to make the pick.

Let's get this thing rolling!!
