A note on yobidashi and scheduling

Yobidashi from Soichi onwards (juryo and makuuchi yobidashi) are included on the program, so we know when they'll show up. Makushita yobidashi seem to consistently get four bouts each and sandanme yobidashi seem to consistently get five bouts each. Figuring out when those guys appear is just a matter of counting.

However, jonokuchi and jonidan yobidashi schedules vary from day to day. On Day 8, the jonokuchi and jonidan yobidashi have 57 matches to cover between them. Based on what I've seen so far, I'm guessing they'll give 11 matches each to Takeru, Shintaro and Yuma, leaving 10 for Kenta, and 7 each for Hiroshi and Yuji. Apologies if I've guessed wrong, Shintaro fans!
