First: This is just my impression/interpretation of my gut feeling (and
I have enough gut to qualify) on a guess at what this means.

	I believe that "up to par with the Yokozuna standard" means in the
Yusho hunt at least until day 14.  Also, I'd say that he'd need at least
more than ten wins.  i.e. 11-4 minimum but probably closer to 12-3

K-jo, the mind reader
