21 Kyushu 19, The Results

[Asojima]

Welcome to the 21 game for Kyushu 19.  

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.

Normally, 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.

For Kyushu 19, the participation of the Yokozunas and Ozekis is once again questionable.  We have included a single match with rikishis HaKaTaTa which stand for Hakuho, Kakuryu, Takayasu and Takakeisho. The match will be the FIRST one, if any, that matches any of these four rikishi.  "A" will be the higher ranked wrestler and "B" will be the lower ranked. We have also included one Juryo match as a replacement for the two rikishi who are not included in the special match.

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, November 8.  No new entries or entry modifications will be accepted after the deadline.

Here are the 21 matches for Kyushu 19.  The numbers in parens are the the results of the most recent matches between the two.

Welcome to our two new players, Athenayama and Houmanumi.  Our most agreeable player this time is Tenshinhan, and Chishafuwaku is, once again, the most disagreeable. Will we get a match 1?? 

Let's get this thing going!

Note:  One typo corrected.  Thanks to Profomisakari.
