Pick The Yusho Winners Game Natsu 2024

[Itachi]

This is the thread for the Pick The Yusho Winners (PTYW) game for Natsu 2024.

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 ) (* now including tsukedashi, if any, at these ranks)

Lower Makushita (Ms16-60) (* no longer including tsukedashi from the Upper Makushita ranks)

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

Good luck with your picks.

Special thanks to Oshirokita, the founder of this game.
