Hatsu Basho 2012 - Day 14
| |
Going into the final day of the tournament, all the yusho hunt in all three divisions are wide open. In Makunouchi, Sekiwake Hokuro and EM4 Kogaratsu have been battling it out for several days now and remain deadlocked at 11-3. A win by one and a loss by the other would give the winner the title. A win by both would force a playoff with Hokuro having a slight advantage in points 104-102. However, a loss by both and a win by WM8 Sumio who is one match off the pace would make it a three way playoff giving Sumio a chance for a come from behind yusho. Sumio at this stage has 102 points. | | In Juryo, the yusho scenario is a little more complicated with four participants vying for the hardware. At 11-3 we have EJ2 Mariohana and WJ3 Kinkaizan while at 10-3 it is WJ1 Kaiomitsuki and WJ3 Kiriazuma. Mariohana will be paired off with Kaiomitsuki on senshuraku and Kinkaizan will match up against Kiriazuma. Depending on the outcome of these two matches, we could have a sole leader at the end of the day or possibly a four way playoff. In terms of total points going into the final day, Kiriazuma is in the best position with 107, Kinkaizan is next with 104 while Mariohana and Kaiomitsuki are both sitting on 101. | | In Makushita, Em13 Yeditoshi, Wm13 Yotsich, Em15 Hokuromitsu, Em17 Hakase and Em21 Kamakiri are the players to watch on the final day with all having an 11-3 tournament record. A first glance the title hunt looks complicated, but it hinges on the head to head match between Hakase and Yotsich. The victor would improve to 12-3 and either take the yusho as the sole survivor or automatically be involved in a playoff should any or all of the other three win their last match. In terms of points going into senshuraku, Yotsich is most dominate at 105.

Hatsu Basho 2012 - Day 13
| |
Going into the final weekend of the Hatsu Basho 2012 the Emperor's Cup has already been decided after a shocking meltdown by Hakuho handed the title to Baruto. So much for having a final day to determine the outcome of the tournament! | | In Sumo Game, however, we still have plenty of action as all three divisions are still competitive. In Makunouchi, Sekiwake Hokuro and EM4 Kogaratsu are still duking it out for the yusho at 11-2. Hokuro with his eleven wins has now put himself in good position for bump up to Ozeki should he win his remaining two matches, giving him the required 31 victories in three consecutive tournaments. | | In Juryo, leader WJ13 Kinkaizan found himself on the losing side of things on day 13 to fall to 10-3 allowing EJ12 Mariohana to catch him on the leader board. In Makushita, Wm13 Yotsich also had a kuroboshi on the day to turn the division into a free for all with six participants jamming up the 1st place position at 10-3.

Hatsu Basho 2012 - Day 12
| |
The Hatsu Basho got even more interesting on day twelve as Hakuho got 'bum rushed' off the clay by Harumafuji to lose his second match in three days. As a result, Baruto now has a two match lead over the Yokozuna and finds himself in the position to win his first upper division title. | | In Makunouchi action, EM4 Kogaratsu lost his second match of the tournament to fall to 10-2 allowing his nearest competitor Sekiwake Hokuro to even things up for a share of the lead. Sadly, Yokozuna candidate Doitsuyama fell to 8-4 denying him a chance for promotion yet again. Ozeki Randomitsuki also had a tough loss on day 12 to fall to 4-8 and will be kadoban come March. In Juryo, WJ13 Kinkaizan, despite losing on the day, remained in first place as the sole leader. In Makushita, Wm13 Yotsich broke up a three way tie for the top spot to improve to 10-2 and become the person to beat down the home stretch.
