[sumo] [sumo game] TORCH 2021 round up part iii

[kj bauman]

Next, the END-OF-YEAR TORCH POINTS for RIKISHI.  There was no 25-point awardee as no one picked the correct final TORCH RIKISHI, ICHIYAMAMOTO.  But credit goes to all players earning points as the tougher skill of this game is picking a rikishi.  In all, 18 players earned FINAL TORCH RIKISHI points with Cydrome just one-off from the bullseye.  Kudos to the full bucket of players, Aled ap Tomos & Cydrome & Gurowake & itchyknee & Jesinofuji & Kitanoedo & rhyen & Shitamachi & Sukubidubidu & Suwihuto who had ended with rank AND rikishi points, showcasing the skill in this game.  Last year, only one player did so.

   Thanks for participating and I hope you all can update your pick or, if a new player, submit a pick for next year. You can send your TORCHBEARER 2022 picks to me now, or wait until the Hatsu banzuke is released.  An invite (with rules for new players) will be out soon.  Pick one rank and one rikishi where you think the TORCH will be at the end of the year.  This sumo game has a prize.  New players are always welcome.

Again, thanks.
