I arranged them by a bunch of other criteria while I was at it, but as I've found so often in Sumo, the stats aren't worth that much. All it takes is one belt stalemate or a couple of henkas to shift a guy from one extreme to the other. Maybe it would be more enlightening with a very long term data set or an algorithm to ignore outliers or summink, but I suspect even then it would largely confirm the obvious, where it confirmed anything coherent at all. Maybe others can find more elucidation than I. I suppose this one suggests that midrankers are less inclined to go life-and-death than guys who may have something to gain or lose.

According to the Kyokai site, Tanji's new Shikona in full is Taiga Koji. 大賀 孝治. Cheers.

A Yoridashi, apparently..... A belt grip Gaburi Yori or something, I guess. You grip him close and shove him out with your body, as opposed to using any outright manhandling or lifting with your arms....

Oyama is still listed at Azumazeki on the Kabu list, rather than Hakkaku. It's been a while now, so thought I'd mention it, lest he gets overlooked next update.

So, as I am always looking for ways to express my ever increasing Sumo obsession, and my various madcap projects such as fight notation system and statistically useful pseudo-Kimarite having been put on hiatus due to a bout of sanity, perhaps I could be made useful as regards Sumodb's one major flaw. That being, to paraphrase everybody, ever; "Sumodb is great but the heights and weights are useless" Which is odd, because its easy work compared to pretty much everything else that must go into maintaining the site. The heights and weights are all right there on the website ready to go - hell, I have all the Sekitori stats from Aki on a spreadsheet right in front of me, and could add them in 20 minutes. So if you could do with a data entry dogsbody, to add this stuff, I volunteer. Or I can send the pitiful amount of data to someone who already has access, whatever. But lets get the height/weight stuff up to date for the last Basho at least, t'is but a few minutes work. Cheers

LOL. Hey, it wasn't the easiest one for a newbie. How you guys got anything right below M4 is deeply mysterious to me at this point...

Hi. I entered this game for the last basho as Kotomaru, and sure enough my name is there under the list of entries. I don't see myself anywhere else though - on the overall scoreboard, or basho scoreboard or whatever, despite new players apparently being added already. Just wondering if I have slipped through the cracks or am too impatient to see the extent of my failure, and it will update in time. Cheers
