Guess Kisenosato's Aite (Myogiryu III) - July 2012

[kuroimori]

I will

take

Take-

kaze

for

Day 14

[Profomisakari]

I would give him

Gagamaru for day 14

Profomisakari

[Andonishiki]

last basho he had wakakoyu on day 14

why not again ?

Wakakoyu

[Andonishiki]

gomen nasai... need to change my mind after having thought a bit...

day 14: homasho

[Chisaiyama]

I'm from Kansas, not Missouri but I grew up on the banks of the Missouri River so I suppose some of that infamous stubboness rubbed off on me. I'll stick with

Day 13: Goeido

Ok, to put it straight for stubbornness' sake: Myogiryu can't meet Goeido - they're both from Sakaigawa-beya.

I get blind sided like that all the time dammit. Despite the similarity in shikona I use to try to insist on putting Kisenosato up against Wkanosato also. Thanks, for future reference I will put this one on a virtual sticky on my windows desktop.

[Chisaiyama]

Well, now that I can truly and sincerely NOT pick Goeido, I too think it will be

Day 14: Takekaze

[Asashosakari]

Bah, let's try Shohozan again.

[shimodahito]

14.takakaze

[Kotoviki]

And it is Homasho day 14!

Let me think about senshuraku! Hope I don't miss the deadline....

[Oshirokita]

I should probably wait for the results of day 13, but I'll guess

Day 15 Takekaze

[Profomisakari]

Last trial:

Day 15 Gagamaru

Profomisakari

[Jakusotsu]

Day 15 - Shohozan

[Jakusotsu]

After 14 days in the books, the sansho are already decided (apart from Oshirokita who might grab an additional one).

Shukun-sho (most consecutive correct picks, 3 minimum)

Depending on Oshirokita's performance on senshuraku, we have either two or three players assembling the bare minimum length of streaks, which are:

Asashosakari (days 7-9)

Profomisakari (days 11-13)

Oshirokita (days 13-?)

Kanto-sho (shortest long streak of incorrect predictions, maximum 4)

Three players kept their longest streaks of wrongness down to 2 while nobody else qualified.

Andonishiki (days 3-4, 6-7, 9-10)

Jakusotsu (days 6-7, 9-10, 14-?)

Profomisakari (days 6-7, 9-10, 14-?)

Gino-sho (3 pts for single correct picker, 2 pts for two correct pickers, 1 pt for three correct pickers)

Although there are still points to earn on senshuraku, nobody can catch the leader who hit unique bullseyes on days 7 and 9. The only other points are shared by the three Homasho pickers.

Asashosakari 6

Andonishiki 1

Kotoviki 1

Oshirokita 1

[XiaoTan]

Shohozan for me as well

[kuroimori]

last but not least this basho

Shohozan on senshuraku

[Kotoviki]

Shohozan for me for Senshuraku as well please

[Andonishiki]

day 15: Shohozan

thanks for gyojiing and all other admin !

[Asashosakari]

I'm sure it's going to be Shohozan now after I picked him unsuccessfully three times, but why waste a shot at a yusho: Day 15 Takekaze.

(7-8 after 7-2 would suck though. Wonder what injury I'm going to claim in my post-basho interview...)

[Chisaiyama]

Day 15: Shohozan

[shimodahito]

is it too late to jump on the shohozan band wagon?

[Jakusotsu]

Day 15:

1 Gagamaru

1 Kyokutenho

7 Shohozan

2 Takekaze

Asashosakari (8-7)

Profomisakari (8-7)

Andonishiki (7-8)

Jakusotsu (7-8)

Oshirokita (7-8)

kuroimori (6-8-1)

Jejima (5-10)

XiaoTan (4-11)

Chisaiyama (3-12)

Kotoviki (3-8-4)

shimodahito (2-13)

Anjoboshi (0-0-15)

Holleshoryu (0-0-15)

Yaochoyama (Kosho)

Myogiryu's aites: 1. Kisenosato, 2. Harumafuji, 3. Kakuryu, 4. Tochiozan, 5. Hakuho, 6. Toyonoshima, 7. Aminishiki, 8. Baruto, 9. Aoiyama, 10. Tochinoshin, 11. Kotoshogiku, 12. Kotooshu, 13. Aran, 14. Homasho, 15. Takekaze

I have no idea how the yusho kettei-sen is to be decided, so I'll just finalize the sansho:

Shukun-sho (most consecutive correct picks, 3 minimum)

Asashosakari (days 7-9)

Profomisakari (days 11-13)

Oshirokita (days 13-15)

Kanto-sho (shortest long streak of incorrect predictions, maximum 4)

Andonishiki (days 3-4, 6-7, 9-10)

Jakusotsu (days 6-7, 9-10)

Profomisakari (days 6-7, 9-10)

Gino-sho (3 pts for single correct picker, 2 pts for two correct pickers, 1 pt for three correct pickers)

Asashosakari 8

Oshirokita 3

Andonishiki 1

Kotoviki 1

[Asashosakari]

3. Tie-breakers to decide the Yusho.... We look at the result of the day 15 prediction, then day 14, and so on back to day 1. If still a tie, then the highest ranked on the banzuke can claim the Yusho.

Andonishiki (7-8) S1 Jejima (5-10)

My worst result ever!
