Ok, so this is one way I’m thinking about approaching my daily updates – have the final 2 or 3 matches of the day up and then update on earlier matches with the winners and losers and updating records and where rikishi are in the hunt for the Cup, etc.
Let me know what you think. It’s a work in progress, so we’ll view how this first week goes.
