Good day all, 
  I was somehow disconnected from this mail group and thought it was dead.
  The TORCH 2020 journey is still alive.  Last basho, this was the path:

On Day 2 of Kyushu, Ms4E Bushozan took the TORCH from Ms4W Terasawa.
On Day 3 we had:

RIKISHI
BUSHOZAN vs KITAHARIMA
RANK
MAKUSHITA 4 EAST vs MAKUSHITA 3 EAST

Player(s) up for points:
Konrad’s rank pick is MAKUSHITA 4 EAST
Daughter of Sukubidubidu’s rank pick is MAKUSHITA 3 EAST
a loss = 1 point, but a win = 3 points and an opportunity for more points in the next torch match
  
And Ms3E Kitaharima won that one... so our player points tally is... 

Standings:
4 points – Fatakiyama
4 points – Konrad
3 points -- Daughter of Sukubidubidu
1 point – Bugman
1 point – Hitotsubushi
1 point – Jason
1 point – Mutsu’odeki
1 point – Ryafuji
1 point – Shokikogi
