Brackets announced for Sendai Girls junior tournament


Sendai Girls has announced the brackets for the opening round of their junior tournament Apr. 20 at Zepp Sendai. A.Sachiko Sendai vs Mio Shirat (Maheken) B.Misaki Ohata (Ibuki) vs Ayako Sato (Ito) C.Hiren vs Arisa Nakajima (JWP) D.Ryo Mizunami vs Minori Makiba (Ice Ribbon) E.Tyrannosaurus Okuda vs Hanako Kobayashi (Ito) F.DASH Chisako vs Kana (Freelance) G.Mayuca Niizeki (JWP) vs Io Shirai (Maheken) H.Hiroyo Matsumoto (Ibuki) vs Mika Mizunuma (Maheken). The quarter finals will be May 23. Winner of A vs Winner of B, Winner of C vs Winner of D, Winner of E vs Winner of F, Winner of G vs Winner of H. The semi finals and finals will be June 27. Winner of AB vs Winner CD, Winner of EF vs Winner of GH and then the final.




So who's gonna win this thing? I'm usually lousy at predicting these things but the obvious favourites based on the brackets are Tyrannosaurus Okuda, Arisa Nakajima & Hiroyo Matsumoto. The first bracket is a bit of a wild card. Some might think Ayako Sato is due for a push but I wonder how much politicking Mariko Yoshida has done to push Misaki Ohata. Upsets are possible too. Kana is one who might pull off a surprise in the quarter finals. Also, many fans are asking if Sendai is going to turn Hiren heel. I don't know. Her round one matchup against Nakajima would indicate no but you never know. I still believe they won't turn her heel or even acknowledge her role in OZ Academy. I hope I'm wrong as they'd miss an opportunity to give her a personality.
