21 Aki 17, The Results

[Asojima 2,872]

Welcome to the 21 game for Aki 17.  

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.

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. 

NOTE: For Aki, participation is questionable for all 4 yokozuna, Terunofuji and Endo.  To compensate, we have added a generic yokozuna match which will be the FIRST (if any) match between any two yokozuna.  Rikishi A will be the higher ranked yokozuna and B will be the lower ranked.  Matches for the other 2 yokozuna, Terunofuji and Endo are being replaced with two Juryo 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, September 8.  No new entries or entry modifications will be accepted after the deadline.

Here are the 21 matches for Aki 17.  The numbers in parens are the the results of the most recent matches between the two.

20	J2e	Aminishiki	(0-0)	J1e	Sokokurai
21	J2w	Azumaryu	(2-1)	J3e	Daiamami

Each match must appear on a separate line in your entry.  Use shift-enter to avoid double-spacing.
Note:  If 3 or more of the yokozuna sit out the entire basho, all entries for Match 1 will be judged to be correct.
