It's that time again Sumo Fans! The Natsu Basho begins Sunday May 11th. Time to get those picks in.

If you've never watched sumo before or played along it's easy to get in on this. No skill or prior knowledge needed. If you're curious about sumo, join in and learn as you go.
Just make some picks, then just sit back and watch. Sometimes random picks are better than educated picks. Anything can happen during the basho.

And maybe someone can organize a watch party via Zoom, so the newer players can ask questions and learn as we go.

Dude, I'm 100% down for a watch party. Learned trying to follow this stuff on my own for a contest doesn't work out.
 
A couple more days to get your picks in. And if a Rikishi drops out by or on the first day, I'll allow a new selection.
