Under some circumstances, you may be allowed to avoid being matched up against a bench rikishi from the same heya as yourself - except in the case of a Yusho play-off. To be allowed this exception, the bench rikishi concerned must ask this favour from Jejima (jejima@gmail.com), stating the reason why they want to be excused being matched against each other. In general, they will only be allowed this exception if they are from the same family, or if it involves loved ones.
