21 Kyushu 13, The Results

[Asojima 2,874]

Welcome to the 21 game for Kyushu 13.

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 would be found in one and only one match; however, Aran has retired, and Aminishiki looks to be very questionable for Kyu 13. We have, therefore, added one Juryo match to replace these 2 rikishi. 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.

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 13. The numbers in parens are the the results of the most recent matches between the two.

Achiyama has the most picks in agreement with all other players, but he only leads the All A pair of Jejima and Takanorappa by 1. These 2 only lead Flohru by 1. Pandaazuma is by far the most disagreeable player that we have. We have a larger than normal number of X's (23), but, based on the pre-basho reports, I suspect we will have a bunch of dead rikishi scattered around the dohyo on shenshuraku.

Let's get this thing going!!

Can T'rappa win the basho? Or would I win in a tie-breaker?
