2025 Makushita March Madness
Welcome to the Makushita yusho race! The format will be familiar to fans of USA college basketball or other single-elimination tournaments. At the start of the basho, the 120 or so third-division rikishi are paired up in rank order. The winners continue in the yusho bracket. Each round unfolds over two days, with the 7-0 champion usually crowned on Day 13.
