[sumo] [sumo game] it's called a nonet that is riding the TORCH.

 Kodaiyama,
Actually, while the possibility of a tie exists, the following data indicates that unless Kyokukaiyu maintains his unbeaten streak through the entire year and somehow ends up in Sanyaku, the title will probably come down to the ending Torch rank picks.

| Kintamayama | Kyokukaiyu | J03W |
| Hakuhonofan | Kyokukaiyu | J05W |
| Ripe | Kyokukaiyu | J06W |
| Torideyama | Kyokukaiyu                   | J07E |
| Athenayama | Kyokukaiyu | J10W |
| Bunbukuchagama | Kyokukaiyu             | J11W |
| Yarimotsu | Kyokukaiyu                 | J12W |
| Andreas21 | Kyokukaiyu             | Ms13W |
| Kaito | Kyokukaiyu | Ms35E
 |


And of course if he loses tomorrow and never gets the torch again, the nimble nine would only have 25 points.  That could be very interesting if someone with 0 points hits either the ending rikishi or rank pick.
Hopefully, I have made it a little more interesting.  And to think it is only March.

 Looks like the game is going to finish in a tie.  Not very interesting when everyone picks the same rikishi.  Good luck all.

I couldn’t remember so I looked it up -- nonet, today in a TORCH MATCH on Day 11:

RIKISHI
KYOKUKAIYU vs TOCHIMARU

RANK
JONIDAN 32 WEST vs JONIDAN 47 EAST

Player(s) up for points:
Andreas21’s rikishi pick is KYOKUKAIYU
Athenayama’s rikishi pick is KYOKUKAIYU
Bunbukuchagama’s rikishi pick is KYOKUKAIYU
Hakuhonofan’s rikishi pick is KYOKUKAIYU
Kaito's rikishi pick is KYOKUKAIYU
Kintamayama’s rikishi pick is KYOKUKAIYU
Ripe’s rikishi pick is KYOKUKAIYU
Torideyama’s rikishi pick is KYOKUKAIYU
Yarimotsu’s rikishi pick is KYOKUKAIYU
a loss = 1 point, but a win = 3 points and an opportunity for more points in the next torch match

standings:
all nine above with twenty four points each.
