Some educated guesses: Pretty sure about Andrasoyama and Andrasoyamawaka being the same person. Pretty sure about Saruwatari (and II) being the same person although I don't know whether he deliberately wants to see the two careers separately. Fatakiyama is not Fata, I'd say. EDIT: Ok, if it's the only gap in his career, then I'll retract my hunch... Fay and Kotonowaka_Fay can be confirmed as being the same lady. I don't think that Seb and Sebunshu are identical. And I'm with Jakusotsu that Vincentohana and Vincentoryu are different people.

Hello, now this was fast - all games have made their final standings public, so I could create the final standings of the Haru 2025 Masters Series. Here is the basho report: The Haru Masters were as stormy as the dohyo events, with lots of unforeseen results. This also shows off in the winner's parade. For example, Wamahada never even won a Masters sansho, but stars aligned nicely for him, granting him three game yusho (Hoshitori Game, Norizo Cup, RotoSumo) and his first ever Green Mawashi with 53.25 points. Until the Hoshitori results were in, it looked like a low-scoring 42 points Green Mawashi for Beeftank. While this did not pan out, Beeftank won his first ever game yusho (Quad) and his first-ever Masters sansho (gino-sho, as he also was strong in the pre-basho scene (10 points in Norizo Cup). The shukun-sho also goes to someone who has not featured in Masters reports yet: reeeen (with finishing three games in double digits). The only really familiar face in the report is that of ScreechingOwl. With eight finishes in the Top 10, he receives his third career kanto-sho. Congratulation to all the winners! Other news: Lots of first-time yusho winners in individual games: CaptSmarta$$ won his first game yusho ever (ISP), same as Isokiho (GTB). Wamahada's three yusho (Hoshitori Game, Norizo Cup, RotoSumo) were first-time yusho in those games, same as for Miruto (Paper Oyakata), Kobashi (Juryo Game), Kachikoshi (Toto), Hisui (Oracle), Kakushoyama (Odd), and Beeftank (Quad). However, game veterans also had their share. Gonzaburow already secured an 8th UDH title and now is the sole record holder in this game. Flohru was already having the most Bench Makuuchi yusho in history (7), but extended his record with an 8th title. And Achiyama joins a list of three other players (Susanoo, Ganzohnesushi, Kitakachiyama) with the largest number of TTT yusho (4). Other repeat offenders (without setting records yet) were Kitakachiyama (5th Sumo Game Makuuchi yusho), Choshu-yuki (5th Chaingang yusho), and Asashosakari (3rd SCS yusho). Also updated: the World Championship Standings. As a sign of the low predictability of sumo this year so far, the current Top 10 feature only two players who managed a Top-10 finish in 2024. With his Green Mawashi, Wamahada takes over the lead for the year, but he has seasoned top gamer Susanoo right on his heelds. It's nice to see some great up-and-comers in the Top 10 (Oortael, Beeftank, Bunbukuchagama, Hisui).

You can PM me, and I will send you an e-mail address (just did so with Beeftank/Spiffy).

This is a lime cordial invitation to play Makushita Game. Again. Or anew. Or for the first time ever. We even have a banzuke ready in time, so you can follow the standings, probably before the shonichi action on Sunday is over. Rejoice, sumo aficionados! https://makushita.sumogames.de

No mystery. Doitsuyama has updated the standings. :)

I have no access to the data that are displayed on the Website. However, the error is resolved in my spreadsheets.

Here are the Final Standings for Haru Basho (accommodating for the Oshoryu-Toseiryu SumoDB glitch): Ganzohnesushi wins this edition with relative ease over Terukaze and Oskanohana. Congrats!! In the upper ranks (down to M4), the KK/MK line runs between Kamibaka and Konya ga Yamada. Which means that both Yokozuna Andoreasu and Ozeki Flohru clear their MK performances from last basho. In the lower ranks, the KK/MK line runs between Wamahada and Torafujii. Kanto-sho: Ganzohnesushi (67 wins) Shukun-sho: Athenyama (for picking Oshoryu, Enho, Kawazoe, Mita, and Kyokukaiyu) Gino-sho: Doreikishi (21.17 points; e.g. 6 points for Tendozan) Thanks for playing!! :)

So desu ne... Here you can find the most recent Haru 2025 edition of the Superbanzuke. Enjoy! :)

Hi there, I can't see the banzuke. Could you please upload it? Thanks a ton!

Oh, I see. Yes, I had a typo in the Excel file that I've sent to Doitsuyama. Holleshoryu should be M9w, but I mistyped M6w, thus creating a double M6.

Hiya, my complete lack of experience about all things HTML is in full display again. Yesterday, I uploaded an updated index.html to the Superbanzuke server, but ever since I did that, the usual link (http://99998271.com/sb/) gives me an empty page. Only when I add index.html, the page is properly displayed (http://99998271.com/sb/index.html). 1) For now, please use the second link to see the page 2) If anyone has a clue what happened here, send me a PM 3) There are other issues with uploading files to the SB server via FTP. For instance, using WinSCP I have to upload each file twice as there is a timeout in between. Again, any help via PM would be most appreciated. Thank you. And sorry for being such a muppet.

Yep, all's good. It was just as Kachikoshi described... which still leaves the other issue why the upload doesn't work as smoothly as it used to be.

Hullo. I have just compiled and uploaded the results of the Hatsu 2025 Superbanzuke Masters. The first basho of 2025 is in the bags, and it led to the ninth career Green Mawashi of Japanese gaming legend Susanoo. He won yusho in Chaingang and Hoshitori Game, and added lots of other points for a total of close to 60 Masters points. Oortael won his first career shukun-sho (and second sansho overall) for finishing second overall (52.00 points), but also for getting a yusho in Sekitori-Quad and Turn the Tide. Andonishiki seems to have specialized in gino-sho. He already grabbed his third career Technique Prize for strong performances in pre-basho games (e.g., jun-yusho in RotoSumo) and daily games (e.g., jun-yusho tie in Bench Sumo). Asashosakari is one of very few players who won more Green Mawashi (2) than Masters sansho (1). However, this basho he equalized that statistic by winning his first career kanto-sho (Top 10 finishes in six games). Congratulation to all the winners!

No standings for Makushita Game, unfortunately. I am just doing the banzuke and send it to you-know-who-yama. Unfortunately, he did not respond to my reminders, so we have quite a backlog of unresolved tasks (GTB rankings for Kyushu and Hatsu; Hoshitori Game rankings and standings for Hatsu; Juryo Game banzuke for Hatsu; Makushita Game banzuke and standings for Hatsu).

Hiya, I kept waiting for six basho days, but unfortunately Doitsuyama didn't respond to my requests to upload game-related information. Therefore, the brand-new Hatsu 2025 Superbanzuke Ranking is built on the other 18 games' Hatsu rankings (they are all available to me) plus the Kyushu ratings for Hoshitori Game (with a 20% demerit). Find where you stand and if you stand at http://99998271.com/sb/sb202501.html (permalink)

Adding to that WOOOOW!!, Asashosakari becomes the first ever player in sumo gaming history to win 10 yushos in any one of the Superbanzuke games.

Hi there, I have updated Superbanzuke stuff. Now you have access to the Kyushu Masters results here (permalink). Gonzaburow won a second career Green Mawashi (the first one was in Aki 2017) without a single game yusho. However, double digits in Roto Sumo, Sekitori Oracle, and Salarycap Sumo laid the foundation for a strong 63.83 points finish and were enough to keep contestants Frinkanohana (56.72) and Oyama (54.05) at bay. Asapedroryu receives the shukun-sho (his first sansho ever) for double yusho in Roto Sumo and UDH. Kachikoshi also grabbed his first sansho ever (gino-sho) for strong performance in daily games (jun-yusho in Toto) and pre-basho games (jun-yusho in Juryo Game and UDH). I was surprised to find out that veteran Frinkanohana had more Green Mawashi (2) than sansho in his career. However, with his first kanto-sho (8 Top 10 finishes) he equalized his tally. Congratulations to all the winners! Aaaand... we have the Final Standings of the 2024 World Championship here. Pandaazuma cleared the scene by getting his sixth World Champion title, his fifth shukun-sho, sixth gino-sho, eighth kanto-sho, second Daily Championship, and sixth pre-basho Championship. The only other player to feature in the super-categories is Kaito (tied for shukun-sho). And these are the 2024 World Champions in individual games (number of respective titles in brackets): Bench Sumo: Pitinosato (3) Chaingang: Gusoyama (1) Tippspiel: Terarno (2) Guess the Banzuke: Kobashi (1) Hoshitori Game: Pandaazuma (3) ISP: Oyama (1) Juryo Game: Asashosakari (1) and Achiyama (1) Norizo Cup: kawazi (1) Odd Sumo: Norizo (2) Ozumo Bingo Game: Wamahada (1) Paper Oyakata Game: puripuri (1) RotoSumo: Konya ga Yamada (1) Salarycap Sumo: Yarimotsu (1) Sekitori Oracle: Pandaazuma (3) Sekitori Quadrumvirate: ScreechingOwl (2) Sekitori-Toto: Kaito (1) Sumo Game: Kirinoumi (1) Turn the Tide: Kaito (1) Upside Down Hoshitori: Kaito (1)

Woohoo. Why not sweeten your November and play https://makushita.sumogames.de? Playing it may offer an opportunity to brag about it, thus increasing your chance of mating success (if you are after such things) by an as yet unknown percentage. In any case, playing Makushita Game will guarantee you a place on the next Makushita Game banzuke - on a Web page, presumably forever. So consider giving it a try!

Very very belated Final Standings (I'm sorry...): Chishafuwaku won the November 2024 edition of the Makushita Game in front of Asapedroryu. For players in the range Y to M4, you have to subtract 1.5 points to your win points tally and round up half-points. That being said, the KK/MK line runs between Andrasoyama and Yokozuna Oskanohana. For players in the range M5 and lower, you have to add 0.5 points to your win points tally and round down half-points. The crucial line runs between Kaiowaka and Zannah. Shukun-sho: Goes to Joputosu in one of the most protracted decisions ever. It took him nine(!) tie-breakers to defeat Bunbukuchugama. Joputosu picked 6-1 Tochimaru, Ishizaki, Okaryu, Dewataikai, 5-2 Kiryoku, Tochimusashi, Seihakuho, and 4-3 Takakento before his 4-3 Haruyama was superior to Bunbu's 3-4 Kumanoryu in ninth bracket. Kanto-sho: Chishafuwaku (66 wins) Gino-sho: Ketsukai (14.12 points; e.g. 4 points for Kotodaigo, 2 points for Hogasho)

Hi there, following a good old tradition I was intent on offering you daily updates on the Sumo Gaming World Championship. However, this would require that we have daily standings from all games, or that I have a way to get these daily standings even if they aren't posted. Alas, Hoshitori Game has not even produced any results this basho. Just to prove to myself that spending 1-2 hours per day on the results was not in vain, I will give you provisional results for the first three days of the basho (obviously without Hoshitori Game...) Day 1 Masters: 1. Susanoo 70.55 2. Oskahanada 39.03 3. Kaiowaka 31.20 4. Kachikoshi 29.02 5. aburo 28.50 Day 2 Masters: 1. Susanoo 69.32 2. Achiyama 43.60 3. ScreechingOwl 35.15 4. Oskahanada 34.20 5. Asashosakari 31.35 Day 3 Masters: 1. Susanoo 59.70 2. ScreechingOwl 46.76 3. Frinkanohana 45.77 4. Kachikoshi 33.08 5. aburo 30.00 Day 1 WC: 1. Pandaazuma 244.58 2. Kaito 219.18 3. Susanoo 197.55 4. Oskahanada 150.52 5. Norizo 149.03 Day 2 WC: 1. Pandaazuma 253.72 2. Kaito 220.13 3. Susanoo 196.32 4. ScreechingOwl 155.88 5. Norizo 151.61 Day 3 WC: 1. Pandaazuma 262.91 2. Kaito 223.77 3. Susanoo 186.76 4. ScreechingOwl 167.49 5. Kobashi 135.92 The graph will follow once all games have their standings available...

Final Standings: After Day 14 I announced an exciting senshuraku, and we were given an exciting finish, both on the real and the virtual dohyo. For large parts of the basho, an epic battle between Frinkanohana and Oyama ensued, with the latter having the upper hand in the second half of the basho. But Oyama did not have a good Day 15. Not only did he lose his final Bench bout (loss of 3.1 Masters points), he also dropped significantly in the standings of Hoshitori Game (minus 5 points) and Paper Oyakata Game (minus 3 points). Across all games, he lost more than 13 points on senshuraku and ended up with 54.05 Masters points. Frinkanohana also did not have the best of days and continued a downward trend (with losses on each day since Day 9). On senshuraku, the Frink lost 3 points in Bench, and 2.6 points in Toto with losses in each. However, on the plus side he showed a 2.5 point increase in the Oracle standings. All this added up to a net loss of 3.31 points for the day. His final tally thus was 56.72 points, so he managed to overtake Oyama again. And still, Frinkanohana will not receive the Green Mawashi. After Day 14, I mentioned two dark horses in the Masters race. While Kachikoshi lost quite a lot on senshuraku, it was Gonzaburow who crashed the party scene! On senshuraku, the Japanese veteran gained 5.5 points in Juryo Game, 4.5 points in Norizo Cup, 3 points in Toto, and 2.5 points in Hoshitori Game. He could even afford to lose a bit in Sumo Game and Salarycap Sumo for a net gain of 8.98 points on senshuraku. And so he ends up with 63.83 points, grabbing the Masters title. Congratulations! Other players of note: Kachikoshi (41.50), Kobashi (38.57), Pandaazuma (37.86), Asapedroryu (35.74), ScreechingOwl (33.61), Andoreasu (31.43). In the World Championship, Pandaazuma ended the basho on a high note and grabs his sixth title. Congrats, you greedy son-of-a-mother! Kaito never really woke up this basho and finished Kyushu with less than 5 points. ScreechingOwl defended 3rd place in the World Championship. Two players had a rather splendid senshuraku and this moved them into the upper half of the Top 10: Norizo gained 7 points on the final day and finishes 4th for the year while Kobashi will be happy with 5th overall (a gain of 11+ points on senshuraku). With the sudden surge of Norizo and Kobashi, Kitakachiyama finished in 6th place overall (down from 4th). Bill continued with his points rally that stretched over the last three days and gained him 27 points in total (8 points on senshuraku) to move from 10th to 7th place for the year. Susanoo finished on a low note (after an excellent start into the basho), lost 8 points on senshuraku and dropped from 7th to 8th overall. The two unsung Kyushu heroes Frinkanohana and Oyama did not win the Green Mawashi but at least managed to stay in the Top 10 (Frinkanohana dropping from 8th to 9th, and Oyama with a dramatic drop from 5th to 10th). Other players in triple digits: 11. Oskahanada (124.95), 12. Gonzaburow (120.53), 13. Bunbukuchagama (119.20), 14. Kakushoyama (110.92), 15. Kajiyanosho (109.29), 16. Kintamayama (105.97), and 17. Asashosakari (105.55). chishafuwaku dropped out of the 100-club on senshuraku; and Konya ga Yamada who sported a 99.99 points score after Day 14, ended up with 99.79 points… Thanks for playing, and see you again next year! More stats about the Masters, and the full year will follow by the end of the week!

Standings Day 14: In the Masters, we are having an extremely exciting senshuraku. Currently, I would not be a betting man as to who will get the Green Mawashi. Frinkanohana dominated for long stretches of the basho, but Oyama was quite close behind him and even took the lead over the last days. Today, both again lost some points, and as we have two players who improved quite a lot today, we are in for a 4-player decision tomorrow. Going into senshuraku, Oyama (67.30) has the best prospects, but Frinkanohana is not too far behind (60.03), and I would also not write off Gonzaburow (54.85) and Kachikoshi (50.38). Other honorable mentions go to ScreechingOwl (36.75), Asapedroryu (33.10), Hogashi (32.20), and Andoreasu (31.25). Most players on the WC chart are stuck for days and show only little up- or downward movement each day. The only exception today was Bill who gained another 12 points. Pandaazuma will collect another trophy, Kaito will finish second. ScreechingOwl is in a good position to end up in 3rd place. Kitakachiyama overtook Oyama for 4th place. In 6th and 7th place we have the Japanese legends duo of Norizo and Susanoo, and they both have exactly 142.38 points! Frinkanohana drops to 8th, barely keeping Kobashi at bay. Bill cements 10th place. In full disclosure, there are a couple of uncharted players above 100 points: Gonzaburow moved up to 12th place (111.55), Kintamayama is 15th (109.97), Kakushoyama is 17th (107.46), and chishafuwaku is 18th (100.43). And I just noted while writing this that Konya ga Yamada currently has 99.99 points. Will he finish in triple digits? I do not know how my day tomorrow will develop. There is a distinct possibility that I will be away from the computer all day. In that case, you would not read from me again until Monday. Then again, I expect that some games will not have official standings before Monday anyway. If someone wants to do me a great favor, it would be to check the Hoshitori Game standings. They are often meant to show Day 15 standings, but miss some bonus points. Thanks to the person who would be willing to take up that task!!

Day 13: The races are shaping up. In Oracle, Andoreasu still sports a 5-point lead. In SCS, Oyama was first until yesterday, but without picking any Ozeki he was shifted out of the Top 10 (I have already added some bonus points, different than Golynohana would do). In the Masters, Oyama lost about 22.5 points today. However, Frinkanohana could not really capitalize on this as he also lost more than 16 points today. Oyama now has a small lead over Frinkanohana (70.70 vs. 64.54). Other players north of 30 points are Kachikoshi (41.75), Asapedroryu (38.89), Gonzaburow (37.44), ScreechingOwl (35.94), and Fujisan (30.50). With the downfall of the two Masters masters, ScreechingOwl moves up to 3rd place in the World Championship standings while Oyama drops to 4th. Frinkanohana lost fewer points but fell deeper (from 4th to 7th), giving Norizo and Kitakachiyama a 1-place upward move, respectively. Susanoo overtook Kobashi for 8th, and Bill overtook Oskahanada and Bunbukuchagama to move up to 10th.

Standings Day 12: There's something gelatinous about the standings. Either you had a knack for particular games and feature way above the rest, or you were dawdling way out of the Masters points. As a consequence, the hectic shift in standings is something we have hardly witnessed at Kyushu Basho. For the Masters, it is still a pretty hot race between Oyama (93.25) and Frinkanohana (80.93). Asapedroryu is a very distant 3rd (40.00), with Kachikoshi (39.67), Gonzaburow (35.22), ScreechingOwl (34.05), and Hogashi (33.25) leaving some imprints on the Masters standings. The World Championship are almost frozen - the most spectacular change is a loss of close to 7 Masters points for Oskahanada. As a consequence, there are not many movements in the coveted ranks: Kobashi overtook Susanoo for 8th place, and Bunbukuchagama overtook Oskanohana for 10th place.

Standings Day 11: The epic battle between Frinkanohana and Oyama for the Green Mawashi is THE recurring news item this basho. Frinkanohana lost more than 14 points today while Oyama improved by more than 11 points. As a consequence, Oyama (92.67) now leads the Masters standings over Frinkanohana (84.19). This is going to be exciting! Asapedroryu lost a lot of points today but remains in 3rd place (48.40). Notable others are ScreechingOwl (39.21), Flohru (31.94), Hogashi (31.67), and Kachikoshi (30.00). Hardly anything to report in the Worlds as most players on the chart roughly kept their points score. The only exception is the aforementioned good news/bad news combo for Oyama/Frink which also led to them trading places on the chart (Oyama up from 4th to 3rd).
