Tournament leaders

For convenience, I've bolded any matches which involve current division leaders below.

Makuuchi commentators: TBD

Who's that shimpan (ringside judge)?

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 it to open the link in a new window.)

Shimpan groups

Shimpan shifts

Our blankie boys have seven shifts to cover every day, and each shimpan group that's not scheduled to open the day's matches has to come back for a second shift later on. One shimpan in any returning shift gets replaced with a member of the "afternoon group". The member of the afternoon group is usually in head shimpan (shomei) position, facing away from us. The seating order doesn't always match the program order though.

When's my favourite yobidashi (usher/singer) up?

On day 13, there are 119 matches in total; forty less than the previous day. Short days have a compressed schedule which I haven't analysed before. :)

Yobidashi from Soichi onwards (juryo and makuuchi yobidashi) are included on the program, so we know when they'll show up. Juryo yobidashi soichi shows up for bout 67: Makushita #59 Hokutoryu (3-3) vs Sandanme #2 Rao (3-3).

On Day 13, there's 66 matches covered by yobidashi ranked from jonokuchi to makushita. I haven't looked at a schedule like this yet so I don't know how many matches each they're going to call.
