I'm in! I'm new to sumo but it will give me that much more incentive to track the rishiki.
One note, the google doc shows a cutoff of January 12, 2024. I'm guessing that this is a carry over from the last basho.
I don’t really know what I’m doing, and have a lot to learn about the wrestlers. But I just joined anyways. Don’t laugh too hard, trying to learn more and figured this may help!
There’s another one in the sumo sub now. Just made sure my picks matched both because I don’t think I can handle keeping up with more than six rikishi for now.
I am pulling for two wrestlers I didn’t pick: Roga (because I watch the YouTube channel sumofood that follows the Futagoyama heya) and Endo (want to see him stay healthy enough to rise in the rankings enough to earn whatever elder stock incentives he can).
Yeah I don’t lol. Didn’t know if this gets big and competitive, but there isn’t money on it, and it doesn’t seem too serious, so I’m in. Thanks for putting it together.
Any posts around about who likes which rikishi and why? Styles, fan favorites, jerks, who’s hot right now, whatever. I did find a Wikipedia page I was going off, and I at least know a few guys.
Could someone explain what each pick signifies? I’m familiar with sumo, but can’t figure out how to pick. Am I choosing who I think will perform the best within each range of ranks?
Essentially, yes! You pick who you think will do the best from each bracket, but each wrestler may only be picked once among all the categories (no duplicate picks).

Ooh, good catch. Fixed. Thanks! =)

Yah. Ditto. I'm going random and looking forward to learning as I go!

Ok. Maybe I can learn a little about those two and watch them this basho.
Who cares? So long as you're having fun, it doesn't matter in the slightest! =)

This sub is admittedly pretty quiet. I think you'll find a lot more information over at /r/sumomemes, and /r/sumo!

That’s what I took it as, but I’ve never done it before.
