Jejima Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 (edited) Hi everyone! Please select in order of preference from the following three rikishi to be this basho's would-be 'Kisenosato'... K1E Takakeisho M1W Ichinojo M2E Yoshikaze Edited January 5, 2018 by Jejima
WAKATAKE Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 I'm going for the big man in the mix this time, followed by the veteran and then the youngster.
Tenshinhan Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 Same as Gurowake... 1) Takakeisho 2) Ichinojo 3) Yoshikaze
Jejima Posted January 5, 2018 Author Posted January 5, 2018 Looks like Ichinojo is the clear winner.... I'll set up the game accordingly.
Jejima Posted January 5, 2018 Author Posted January 5, 2018 Announcing the January 2018 edition of Guess Kisenosato's Aite.... But for M1W Ichinojo.... All you have to do is guess M1W Ichinojo's opponent each day, before the torikumi comes out. If you guess correctly, you get a shiroboshi. This is surprisingly more fun (or frustrating) and challenging than it should be. It also gets you to think a bit more about the 'inner-workings' of sumo. Here is the current banzuke:- Jakusotsu (Y1W 7-8) Y1 Kuroimori (Y1E 6-7-2) Gurowake (O1E 9-6) YO1 O1 Gernobono (O1W 8-7)McBugger (S1W 6-6-3) S1 Sakura (K1W 7-8) Andonishiki (O2E 3-8-4) S2 Ryoshishokunin (K1E 6-9) K1 Tenshinhan (M1E 7-8)Jejima (M1W 6-8-1) M1 chishafuwaku (S1E 4-11) orandashoho (M2E 5-10) M2 Profomisakari (M2W 5-10)The Kyokai (M3W 5-10) M3 shimodahito (M3E 4-9-2)WAKATAKE (M4E 4-9-2) M4 Comments: Comments:Gernobono will be considered for promotion to Yokozuna with a Yusho (or very good Jun-Yusho) this basho. Andonishiki will return to Ozeki the 'easy way' if he manages an Ozeki Quality result this basho. The rules are as follows:- 1. Guess M1W Ichinojo's opponents on each day of the basho. 2. Entries need to be in before 11:30 am Japan time on the previous day, except for the days 1 and 2 entries which need to be in before 11:30 am Japan time on the Friday prior to the start of the basho. If it turns out that the daily toriukumi is printed before these times, then any entry proved to have come afterwards is not allowed for that day (so enter early to be safe). 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. 4. If M1W Ichinojo goes kyujo during the basho, we switch to M1E Hokutofuji (M2E Yoshikaze, then M2W Kotoshogiku kept further in reserve, if needed due to a mass spate of kyujos) for the days after his fusensho loss (I.e. we can still guess who gets the freebie). For the immediate day afterwards, (unless it is known very soon after the event), everyone will get a 'kyujo'. 5. Players that are leading the Yusho race (especially in the final few days of the basho), are requested / expected to get their picks in very early (before all the other players, if possible) - in order to avoid suspicions of 'tactical picking'. Special prizes (many thanks to Yaochoyama): 1. Outstanding performance (shukun-sho) - the one who correctly picks the aite the most consecutive days. You have to have a minimum of three to win this prize. 2. Fighting spirit (kanto-sho) - the one who limits their incorrect aite picks to the shortest number of consecutive days (literally the one whose longest losing streak is the shortest). Any losing streak of 5 or more days would disqualify you from this prize. 3. Technique (gino-sho) - the one who is best at making correct picks when no one, or hardly anyone else does. A point system is used as follows and you need at least 3 points to claim this prize: 3 points if you're the only win to make the correct pick 2 points if you're one of two to make the correct pick 1 point if you're one of three to make the correct pick New players () are cordially invited to this game - it is an official second league © game!
Jakusotsu Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 Placeholder entry before the inevitable kyujo notes are in: Day 1 - Goeido Day 2 - Hakuho
Profomisakari Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 My train goes to another direction: 1 Mitakeumi 2 Tamawashi
orandashoho Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) Day 1 -- Kakuryu (if Kakuryu goes kyujo --> Goeido) Day 2 -- Hakuho (Subject to change resulting from kyujo announcements) Edited January 11, 2018 by orandashoho
Jejima Posted January 11, 2018 Author Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) Presuming that Kakuryu will go kyujo..... (so I may change my picks later if it looks like he is going to definitely enter....) 1 - Takayasu 2 - Kisenosato (I see I am pretty much on my own...) 1. Goeido 2. Kisenosato Edited January 11, 2018 by Jejima Looks like Kakuryu will show up to play...
