21 Nagoya 15, The Results.

[Asojima]

Welcome to the 21 game for Nagoya 15.

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.

Each of the 42 makuuchi rikishi will be found in one and only one match. 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 A and B. For each match, enter the match number and either A or B for your selected winner. If you do not think the match will occur, enter an X.

For example:

1. A

2. X

3. B

...

The winner is the entry with the most correct answers. (X counts.) If one of the rikishi for a match does not appear on the dohyo for the entire basho, that match will be counted as correct for all entries. An entry other than A, B or X will be counted as incorrect. If two or more entrants have the same number of correct picks, the one having the FEWEST other entrants making each of those correct picks will be the leader. If the agreement counts are equal, the entrant with the earliest time of entry will be the leader.

Entry deadline is 2 days before shonichi at 05:00 AM (JST) on Friday, July 10. No new entries or entry modifications will be accepted after the deadline.

Here are the 21 matches for Nagoya 15. The numbers in parens are the the results of the most recent matches between the two.

Asojima likes this.

I do not like this.

Yes, you show humor with this notation of your tips.

But I do not see, why the humor has go at our expense and we should do your work.

My request: Please take the time and write every single pick in the correct order as "A" or "B" and I promise you, that we recognize your old input time.

In fact we had a reason for the new spelling of the fight pairings.

With friendly greetings

So only one pick different than Jejima?

Hmmm..., sounds like an invitation to copy&paste your entry with one little manual correction.

Looks like you just did the work for him anyway. ;-)

[Profomisakari]

How can he know this one pick difference?

If you *really* need for me to enter all the As and Bs for each bout, please let me know which bout you voted on differently, to make it easier for me.

Many thanks in advance,

[Profomisakari]

Yes, he thought it.

And it's great, that you find it out.

This can be the begin of a great career.

Profo

[Tenshinhan]

Nah, the great career has already begun.

You did the work to find out that there is only one difference between your picks but it is too much work to create Jejimas entry? I found that very strange.

[Profomisakari]

You too?

[Asojima]

OK, folks. Let's put this issue to bed.

Profomisakari and I manually transfer about 25 entries per basho to spreadsheets to do our placement calculations. Over the last year, we have been getting occasional submissions in creative, sometimes confusing, formats. These become time consuming for us and have often lead to typo errors in the spreadsheets. We have tried PM's to individuals to encourage standardized entries. Most of the PM's were successful.

Henceforth, entries which are not in the suggested vertical format with one entry per line will be rejected.

'Nuff said.
