[sumo] [Spoiler]March Day 11 Makuuchi torikumi

[James Eaton]

Interesting.  Too bad they can't get away from their rigid rankings, even 
for the sake of making the tournament more interesting.  It'd be one thing 
if the wrestlers were bracketed or some other tournament format, but when 
you're making up the matches as you go along...

Another question: If Baruto wins Juryo, will he be advanced directly into 
makuuchi from his position at Juryo 11?
