[sumo] [sumo game] TORCH 2021 -- the final basho -- day 1 has 12 picks!

[kj bauman]

Good day all,
Aki recap: Juryo 12 West Hokuseiho & the TORCH were under quarantine.

So the TORCH for Kyushu Basho:
   Start-of-Kyushu Rikishi: HOKUSEIHO
   Start-of-Kyushu Rank: JURYO 12 WEST

Day 1’s TORCH MATCH features THREE rikishi pickers and NINE rank pickers!!!  Gansekiiwa will be a guaranteed 4 pointer today with opposing rank/rikishi picks.  Me thinks this is going to be a high point final basho of TORCHBEARER 2021; and with no clear leader, anyone in the Juryo-range has a chance to take home the prize.
