Udezumou Uk is an experimental format inspired by the All Japan Arm Sumo Association with a number of ideas borrowed from elsewhere. The intention is for fast flowing matches with minimal interference from the refereee & plenty of chances for the pullers to develop their strategies & technique during the tournament to get their name engraved on the Yamamoto Cup.
