Good day all,
Getting caught up --

Start-of-Haru Rikishi: ATAMIFUJI
Start-of-Haru Rank: JONIDAN 48 WEST

The Haru Day 2 TORCH MATCH was a rematch of the Hatsu Tomoe-sen playoff match:

RIKISHI
ATAMIFUJI vs ARAUMA

RANK
JONIDAN 48 WEST vs JONIDAN 49 WEST

Player(s) up for points:
Oshirokita’s rikishi pick is ARAUMA
Terarno’s rikishi pick is ARAUMA
Wamahada’s rikishi pick is ARAUMA
a loss = 1 point, but a win = 3 points and an opportunity for more points in the next torch match

And just as in the Hatsu match, Atamifuji won.  The next matches were:

DAY 3: Jonidan 48 West Atamifuji (1-0) defeated Jonidan 49 West Reonmaru (1-0)
DAY 6: Jonidan 48 West Atamifuji (2-0) defeated Jonidan 51 East Chiyotaiko (2-0)
