(Looking for a different day? Try the master list!)

Compiled from: NSK's postings for makuuchi, juryo, makushita, sandanme, jonidan and jonokuchi; NSK's absence list; NSK's leaders list and NSK's Day 11 program in Japanese.

Tournament leaders

For convenience, I've bolded any matches which involve current division leaders below. Every tournament leader for every division is bouting on day 11.

Makuuchi commentators: former komusubi Kyokudozan and Tanaka Daiki

New feature: who's that shimpan?

Thanks to the maintainer of this page for providing these images! Click the name of the shimpan to see what they look like. (You may need to middle-click open it in a new window. Links are being weird.)

Shimpan shifts

One of the members of the returning shift gets replaced with a member of the "afternoon group".

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 11, the jonokuchi and jonidan yobidashi have 56 matches to cover between them. 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!
