21 Har-Har 16, The Results.

[Asojima]

Welcome to the 21 game for Haru 16.

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 yearly Haru basho is now the Har-Har basho in which I get to use any screwball method I wish to select the matches. Predictability need not be a factor, but The Professor sez that I have to keep the number of probable X matches below 50%.

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. Acceptable submissions must contain a separate line for each match.

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, March 11. No new entries or entry modifications will be accepted after the deadline.

Here are the 21 matches for Haru 16. The numbers in parens are the the results of the most recent matches between the two.

The matches are a boustrophedonic listing of my (usually terrible) GTB picks.

Note: My GTB picks were much worse than normal. :-S
