Pick The Yusho Winners Kyushu 2019

[Itachi]

This is the thread for the Pick The Yusho Winners (PTYW) game for Kyushu 2019.

Please note the change in email address at the end of this post. I can still receive your messages at my shaw address but I'm transitioning to the gmail one.

Until further notice, the game will run just as it has the last several times. I will compile the results and post them as best as I can on this thread.

This is a pre-basho game where each player selects a rikishi from each of 8 sections of the banzuke. The player earns points for each win, each kachikoshi, and each yusho earned by their team of 8 rikishi. The sections of the banzuke are these:

Sanyaku (Y through K)

Maegashira

Juryo

Upper Makushita (Ms1-15 ) (not including any tsukedashi of any rank)

Lower Makushita (Ms16-60 plus tsukedashi if any - including Ms 10 or 15)

Sandanme (plus tsukedashi if any)

Jonidan

Jonokuchi


That's it! Simple to understand, difficult to master. The hallmarks of any engaging game.

Please send your 8 selections to me before the beginning of action on Shonichi.

Itachi: matsuorussellj@gmail.com or by pm here at the forum

As a reminder, I am only a temporary caretaker of this game until Oshirokita can address the reconstruction of his system. All banzuke, website, and records updates will be on hold until then but the game itself and results postings will continue here on this thread.

Good luck with your picks.

Profomisakari was the only one to select a kyujo rikishi.

As usual, the drone Mukashi provides the replacement. In this case, Mitakeumi replaces kyujo Kakuryu.

[Itachi]

Here are the detailed results for the basho just ended.

Thanks to everyone for continuing to play the game and welcome, Athenayama!

 

[Athenayama]

Possibly the worst beginner in PTYW history? LOL
Anyway, I enjoyed it and I will try to be better and more challenging in 2020.
Congrats to Itachi, the winner !!

If I am not mistaken, the Itachi era is now longer than the Oshirokita era.. Time for another big thank you!
