Game 21 for Natsu Basho 2021

[Profomisakari 846]

Welcome to the game 21 for Natsu 21.

This is the seocond basho without Asojima as administrator.
Now I am not alone as administrator. Tameiki is in the boat.
In the future he will do the bout selection and many things more.

Currently , he is developing a new form of submitting picks that can help us better avoid mistakes. If everything works, we will run the game in this new form in July.

Today you will get the bout selection from me again in the old form, the selection comes from Tameiki. He had created them based on his GTB bet for us as exercise data set. I have only two bouts changed.

And I hope you can live with the alfabetical row!

For new players: The game is a simple pre-basho game in which you are given 21 matchups that may occur in this basho. You have to decide whether each match will occur, and, if so, who will win it.

This time again 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.  If one of the rikishi for a match is not listed on any torikumi 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 (tiebreaker 1). If these tiebreaker values are equal, the entrant with the earliest time of entry will be the leader (tiebreaker 2).

Entry deadline is 2 days before shonichi at 11:00 AM (JST) on    Friday, May 7.  

No new entries or entry modifications will be accepted after the deadline. This deadline I have changed from Asojimas former proclamation.

A note: If it becomes known before the deadline that a rikishi will not start, you don't have to change your pick again. According to our rules, a fight will be rated correctly for everyone (1 point) if one or both fighters were not in the torikumi on any of the 15 days.

Here are the 21 matches for Natsu 21.

I was taught when in doubt to Charlie out. I don't think "C" is valid answer here.
Can I get a half point bonus for correct kimarite?  (no? didn't think so).
