Tachiai's Day 9 preview
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 9, the jonokuchi and jonidan yobidashi have 56 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 9 for Kenta, and 7 each for Hiroshi and Yuji. Apologies if I've guessed wrong, Shintaro fans!
Tournament leaders
- Makuuchi: M7 Takayasu (8-0), followed by O Mitakeumi, S Wakatakakage and M6 Kotonowaka at (7-1)
- Juryo: J13 Ryuden (8-0), followed by J1 Oho, J6 Midorifuji and J10 Kitanowaka (7-1)

For sandanme and below, check NSK's leaders list directly.
The schedulers are organising 4-0 bouts to pare down the number of outright leaders in lower divisions. For convenience, I've boldfaced any matches which involve current division leaders.
