Provided that Achiga is only single cour, a season 3 of Saki is basically guaranteed. Achiga (the manga) will be set to wrap up in approximately three chapters with [mod edit: let's leave this for the manga thread] If the anime sticks to the one episode per chapter adaptation pacing, they will precisely cover the entire Achiga sidestory leaving us with another huge cliffhanger to be resolved, with the outcome of the final national's arc of the main Saki story.

Episode one covered an entire 90 pages of content from chapter 1 of the manga sidestory, but not all chapters of the manga are that long (although quite a few are). I am hopeful that for at least the shorter chapters the anime will add more fleshed out details and extra content (still a bit disappointing, given the extremely fast pace of Achiga-hen in general though).

In any case, the material in Achiga-hen is extremely relevant to future developments in the main Saki series. It might be called a "sidestory", but any Saki fan would be a complete fool if they decided to miss it.
