Guess Kisenosato's Aite (Myogiryu II) - May 2012

[Oshirokita]

haven't had a chance to look at things, but Day 10 Aran if not already done

[Jakusotsu]

Day 11 - Gagamaru

[XiaoTan]

May they stick to the top down approach - Homasho on Day 11??

[Asashosakari]

Day 10:

The run of twin scores continues, today with Asashosakari and Holleshoryu who correctly picked sekiwake Toyonoshima as the aite. The former is the new sole yusho leader and this being the last third of the basho already I suppose I'm inviting myself to make an early pick for tomorrow.

2 Toyonoshima

1 Goeido

6 Aminishiki

1 Aran

2 Gagamaru

Yaochoyama (3-6-1) Y1 Asashosakari (7-3)

Profomisakari (3-7) O1

Kuroimori (4-6) S1 Andonishiki (6-4)

Jakusotsu (4-6) S2 Jejima (6-4)

Oshirokita (3-6-1) K1 Holleshoryu (4-6)

Shimodahito (2-8) M1 XiaoTan (5-5)

Anjoboshi (0-0-10) M2 Chisaiyama (3-7)

Gernobono (0-0-10) M3 Kotoviki (2-3-5)

ScreechingOwl (0-0-10) M4

Myogiryu's aites: 1. O3E Kotooshu, 2. O3W Kakuryu, 3. O1W Baruto, 4. YE Hakuho, 5. O2E Kisenosato, 6. O1E Harumafuji, 7. O2W Kotoshogiku, 8. M4E Tochiozan, 9. M5E Okinoumi, 10. SE Toyonoshima

[Asashosakari]

Sansho watch:

Andonishiki already has one hand on the shukun-sho thanks to his 6-day winning streak (Days 2 to 7). The only way he'll miss out on it is if Asashosakari somehow remains uncontradicted through senshuraku, which would constitute a 7-day streak (Days 9 to 15). Absent that, the only thing that can happen is today's winners Asashosakari and Holleshoryu sharing in the prize with six-days streaks (requiring Days 9-14 and 10-15 respectively).

The kanto-sho standings currently look as follows:

1 Asashosakari

2+ Kuroimori

3 Holleshoryu

3/1+ Jakusotsu

3/2+ Yaochoyama

3+ Andonishiki

3+ Chisaiyama

3+ Jejima

3+ Oshirokita

3+ Profomisakari

3+ XiaoTan

4/3+ Shimodahito

And the gino-sho standings are:

7 Asashosakari

3 Jejima

2 Andonishiki

2 Holleshoryu

2 Jakusotsu

2 Kuroimori

2 Yaochoyama

1 Shimodahito

1 XiaoTan

[Kotoviki]

Before I fall asleep......

Edited May 15, 2012 by Oshirokita

[Oshirokita]
