Achiyama

Dear TUG Supporters and Gamers, The 2025 Haru TUG Banzuke was made as usual by Oshirokita. I express my continuous gratitude to him for helping me with the making of TUG Banzukes. Here is the Banzuke: Haru 2025 Banzuke TUG East Rank West Shikona (Hatsu 2025) Shikona (Hatsu 2025) Katunazuma Y1e, 12--3 Y1 Profomisakari Y1w, 10--5 Athenayama Y2e, 5--10 Y2 Achiyama O1e, 15--0 Y O1 Flohru O1w, 8--7 Wamahada S1w, 9--6 S1 Fashiriteta K2e, 12--3 S2 Jakusotsu K1e, 9--6 K1 SumoSpiffy M1w, 8--7 Jejima M5e, 14--1 JY K2 Papayasu M4w, 11--4 RaeucherLax M3e, 10--5 M1 Oshirokita M2w, 9--6 Joaoiyama M2e, 8--7 M2 Shimodahito M4e, 9--6 Gaijingai S1e, 5--10 M3 Pitinosato M1e, 6--9 Wakatake M1w, 6--9 M4 Philioyamfuji M8e, 8--7 Chishafuwaku S2w, KYUJO M5 Ziggyama M5w, 7--8 Benihana M6e, 7--8 M6 Bunbukuchagama M3w, 5--10 Akogyokuseki M6w, 6--9 M7 Holleshoryu M7w, 7--8 Kimyama M8w, 7--8 M8 Fujisan M9w, 5--10 Ippikiokami M10w, 5--10 M9 Rokudenashi M9e, 3--12 ScreechingOwl M7e, KYUJO M10 Andonishiki M10e, KYUJO2 BANZUKE-GAI

Here is the Kekka format, which will be used for making the 2025 Haru Banzuke. Here are the Kekka points (calculated by using the simple equation "Points*7.5/ Median"). Extra points were used for Banzuke purposes only (better differentiation). 2025 Hatsu Basho - Kekka format for Banzuke purposes: Gamer Kekka Achiyama 15 Jejima 14 Fashiriteta 12 Katunazuma 12 Papayasu 11 Profomisakari 10 RaeucherLax 10 Jakusotsu 9 Shimodahito 9 Wamahada 9 Oshirokita 9 Joaoiyama 8 Sumo Spiffy 8 Philioyamfuji 8 Flohru 8 Ziggyama 7 Holleshoryu 7 Benihana 7 Kimyama 7 Wakatake 6 Pitinosato 6 Akogyokuseki 6 Fujisan 5 Athenayama 5 Ippikiokami 5 Gaijingai 5 Bunbukuchagama 5 Rokudenashi 3

Oops! I'll post it right now! Done (See above!)

So, the first basho of 2025 - Hatsu Basho is in the books. I can formally announce the TUG Winners: Achiyama won the Yusho with 249 points. Congratulations! Jejima won the Jun-Yusho with 245 points. Congratulations! Fashiriteta made the podium with 130 points. Congratulations! I want to thank all supporters and fans of TUG, who participated during 2025 Hatsu Basho. Hope to see you all next basho during 2025 Haru Basho in March! Newcomers will be very, very welcome as always! Keep recruiting NEW TUG Gamers!!! Unfortunately, no New Gamers (with an exception of IPPIKIOKAMI (Thank you!) have registered to play (try) The Underdog Game (TUG) during the last few bashos. Also, I've noticed fading of the interest of some great, persistent fans and supporters of TUG, who continue their silence until they reach Banzuke-Gai status, which makes me sad! I'd be delighted to welcome more new Gamers to TUG Community!!! All the Best! Achiyama, TUG Rijicho

Hi Oshirokita-zeki, Thank you for your alert and FAIR play. You are right: 1.) I checked your picks submitted with Survey Monkey. Your main pick was Gonoyama. 2.) I checked again the winners on Day 7. Gonoyama had lost. I have no idea how the 9 points showed on the "Scoring on Day 7" Table. All the Best, Achiyama, TUG Rijicho
