21 Haru 14, The Results

[Asojima 2,874]

Welcome to the 21 game for Haru 14.
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.
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.
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, March 7. No new entries or entry modifications will be accepted after the deadline.
Here are the 21 matches for Haru 14. The numbers in parens are the the results of the most recent matches between the two.

Thanks for the matches! But what's the point with the column "record"? According to the text it should list "the most recent matches between the two", but that can't be true as e.g. in the Aminishiki-Takekaze case matches from 2004 are included, while in the Tochinowaka-Takayasu case matches from 2011 are excluded... The way that column is handled right now you could simply safe yourself some work and delete it I think.

Normally, I limit the most recent matches to about one year, but every now and then I come across a pair with a long history of matches with almost alternating wins. Ami/Takekaze and Hakuho/Harumafuji are examples. When I see one of these, I include the matches for a longer period just for the fun of it.

A very interesting spread on the picks for this basho. We should have some fun as the basho progresses. Only 1 X pick!!!
Screeching Owl has the most picks in agreement with the other entrants, but there are about 8 others nipping at his knickers for the top spot. Wamahada grabbed the most disagreeable honors, but not by much.
Let's get this thing going!!! Edited March 9, 2014 by Asojima
