Sumo Gaming World Championship Daily Updates

[Randomitsuki 2,813]

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...

[Randomitsuki 2,813]

Day 4 Masters:

1. Oyama 68.59

2. Susanoo 61.47

3. Frinkanohana 61.03

4. Andonishiki 34.26

5. Pandaazuma 30.81

Exciting race for the top. It's rare to have three players in 60+ points territory. Meanwhile, Pandaazuma has entered the Top 5, turning the decision about who becomes World Champion into quite a bore.

 

Day 4 World Championship:

1. Pandaazuma 267.03

2. Kaito 226.69

3. Susanoo 188.47

4. Oyama 146.79

5. ScreechingOwl 140.77

 

[Randomitsuki 2,813]

Hi there,

the graph is finally there! The reason for the Hoshitori Game hiccup was a player who somehow managed to pick an ineligible rikishi, thus interfering with the computation of the standings. Now that this is settled, we have (for now) complete coverage of all Superbanzuke games.

Just for completeness, here are the current Top 5 for Salarycap Sumo and the adjusted Top 5 for Oracle:

Salarycap Sumo:

1. Susanoo 540

2. Gusoyama 528

3. Oyama 522

4. Hippchek 510

5. Doreikishi 498

 

Sekitori Oracle:

1. Frinkanohana 621

1. Ruziklao 621

3. Beeftank 619

3. Wamahada 619

3. Kachikoshi 619

 

In the Kyushu Masters Series, the stellar November campaign for Frinkanohana continues, and he storms into the leading position (73.14). Oyama had a tough day and loses first place (45.92). Susanoo led through the first three days of the basho and now finds himself in third place (40.58). Kachikoshi is the only other player in 30+ points territory (32.00). Pandaazuma rounds out the Top 5 at 27.50 points.

 

The Panda is also poised to win his sixth World Champion title. Second place for Kaito is practically locked in. 2022 World Champion Susanoo is in a comfortable position for 3rd place but should keep up with his strong basho performance. From there on it gets quite volatile. Red hot Frinkanohana jumps into 4th place while ScreechingOwl completes the upper tier of the Top 10.

6th to 12th place are currently separated by less than 10 points, so obviously everything is possible there. Currently within the Top 10 are Bill (6th), reigning champion Oskahanada (7th), Kobashi (8th), 4-time World Champion Norizo (9th), and Bunbukuchagama (10th). Kitakachiyama and Oyama are close behind but out of the Top 10. 

I only create a new line in the graph when someone new enters the Top 10. That being said, we currently have two players who have always been out of the Top 10 but above 100 points. Hence, Kintamayama (109.57) and Flohru (102.57) are not on the chart.

 

I have no idea whether there will be an update tomorrow. I will be busy all day and might return to my computer way after midnight. I might even be in a state of small to moderate inebriation, so let's see...

That's my favourite topic to moderate.

[Oskanohana 233]

Everybody knows that this edition of the championship is rigged. I have the best picks (always have). There is some people whose graphs start way higher without any reason and they put me in the beginning there in the middle of all the people (but I love the people). They tried to get rid of me, but I will always come back. My guy Asanoyama (the only true champion) will be back in no time, that's a big reason why the standings don't look so good.

I love the pandas, they're a beautiful bear, truly beautiful, though they always need help with reproduction, which I don't have any problems with, but they're animals that are not fit to be title holders, they would lose the title if they were offered a bamboo stick. What's with bamboo and pandas, why don't they eat anything else? I prefer the polar bears, I love them in commercials.

There's going to be a big wave, in my favor. Again, germans are counting the points, if you think of a working and organized country, that's the last country you'd think of. They don't have the best people counting the points. They're coming with vans filled with points for my rivals, but I'm still going to win, because I'm a winner, I never get tired of winning.

I'm going now to Mar-a-lago to play a couple holes with my friend Elon and I expect the standings to change drastically in the next days or I'm going to sue everybody, starting with that Randomusky guy. Make Oscar Great Again.

Very Brief Update after Day 6:

Masters Standings: 

1. Frinkanohana 58.81

2. Oyama 57,25

3. Susanoo 48.13

4. Andonishiki 35.29

5. Andoreasu 35.08

 

And the World Championship graph.

[Randomitsuki 2,813]

Day 7 Standings:

My nightly update contained a relatively major oopsie - I assigned Oyama's jump to the lead of UDH to Ottotto. In fact, Oyama was in the Masters lead after Day 6 and also already in 5th place for the World Championship.

With that out of the way, Oyama improved even more today and now leads the Masters race with a confident 80.60 points. Frinkanohana (61.64) is the only other contender at the moment. Other players in the 30+ range are Pandaazuma (39.12), ScreechingOwl (36.33), Asapedroryu (36.02), and Andoreasu (32.10).

The Panda is doing Panda things, and that's why the gap between him and Kaito has become larger than ever. In fact, I think it is safe to say that the question of who gets the trophy has become a bore. There is a more exciting battle for third place. Currently, Oyama has the upper hand over ScreechingOwl and Susanoo (who had quite a disastrous day).

[Oskanohana 233]

I only see this graph when looking at Randomoussaka's post (I guess he's part greek, love the greeks, love the food, love the culture, love the sirtaki, but still he doesn't count properly). The counting continues to be rigged.

So I was talking to my lawyers on the phone and I took the phone down and I'm looking at the screen and I'm seeing this crazy thing that's going around and coming down and it looks like it's gonna crash and I said "Oh, no, hold on for a second, I wanna see this". I thought it was a space movie or something. I put the phone down, but this spaceship came down and I saw those engines firing and it looked like it was over, it was going to smash and then I saw the fire pour out from the left side and it put it straight and it came down so gently and it wrapped those arms around it and it held it. Just like you hold your baby at night.

Randomoussaka's gonna be sued and he's going to pay for it. Make Oscar Great Again.

[Randomitsuki 2,813]

You can actually see something in this graph? Hats off!

My eyesight is very good. It's the best. I have a friend who is an optometrist and he told me I had the best eyesight he had ever seen. 21/20. Terrific. My ears are also very good despite that bullet in what the media calls "an accident". I listen to things very good, believe me. That's why all those people come to my hearings. Randomoussaka, you're still gonna be sued bigly. It's gonna be a huge lawsuit, the biggest you have ever seen. Make Oscar Great Again.

Nakabi standings:

Bam - what an epic fight between Oyama and Frinkanohana for the Green Mawashi! The Frink had a sensational day on a sensational basho so far, and he now tops the standings with an incredible 103.96 projected point. And I guess that - if the basho were over now - Oyama would set a new record for the highest non-winning score ever (87.50). Six players hover between 30 and 40 points, gazing at the two stars on the November sky: Asapedroryu (37.37), ScreechingOwl (36.70), Susanoo (34.75), Hogashi (34.33), andonishiki (31.28), and Kachikoshi (30.67).

In the World Championship, lofty Frinkanohana steals 3rd place from Oyama. Susanoo stays in 5th while ScreechingOwl drops to 6th. Kitakachiyama, Norizo, Kobashi, and Bunbukuchagama round out the Top 10. President Osca is not amused and has asked Elon to hack the unhackable Superbanzuke website. :)

I'm failing to cling on to the top 10, so I'm looking for extra thrill in funky charts!

Standings after Day 9:

What a pity that so few people are going to read this, but we are currently witnessing a number of minor and major miracles. Case in point: according to my projections, Andoreasu currently leads the Oracle standings by 11 points - I have never witnessed such a leading margin before. Let's see whether he can defend this lead to the yusho. The major miracle this basho is of course Frinkanohana. He was at almost 104 points yesterday, and today he decided to defy the concept of regression to the middle, increasing his tally to 109.93. For comparison, it's like a person exactly standing at the North Pole and deciding to simply go further north... Outstanding! His main contender thus far (Oyama) plummeted in the standings, and lost almost 20 points today (68.92). Asapedroryu made some waves (48.30) while Gonzaburow (35.90), Andoreasu (33.33), Hogashi (32.43) and Kachikoshi (32.20) constitute the 30+ club.

In the Worlds, it was an off day for five of the six top players (the exception, again, being Frinkanohana).

Correct. No one cares about the top 10.
What ordinary people want to know is what the top 20 are doing

I could create a graph with all 400 players who are in the points. Complete coverage, complete chaos!!

[chishafuwaku 473]

Obviously I was joking.

Your work is greatly appreciated. 

My regret in this case is the fact that I am not in that FAMOUS TOP 10. 

[Randomitsuki 2,813]

As per popular request, the complete graph for the Top 256 players this year (that's the maximum). I must admit that it has a certain aesthetic appeal!

And here's the animated race! (link below)

[Randomitsuki 2,813]

Standings Day 10:

Finally, some regression to the middle has caught up with Frinkanohana, and still he leads with a brilliant 98.29 points. But Oyama has gained more traction and isn't too far behind in the Kyushu Masters standings (81.34). Asapedroryu might be on course for the highest-scoring 3rd place ever (65.88). These three stole so many points from the rest of you that only one other player features in the 30+ points territory (ScreechingOwl at 39.40).

In the World Championship, we have a battle for 4th place between ScreechingOwl and Oyama; a battle for 6th place between Norizo, Kitakachiyama, Susanoo, and Kobashi; an a battle for 10th place between Oskahanada, Bill, and Bunbukuchagama.

[Randomitsuki 2,813]

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).

[Randomitsuki 2,813]

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. 

 

[Kajiyanosho 38]

Here's the animated yet gelatinous Masters race.

It's more exciting at the bottom - it's not over until I can hope to score 100+ points on Odd on Senshuraku...

Well, at least I won Sumo Kaboom's bingo game and the associated jam. Poor Panda will have to buy his own jam. So who's the real winner?

At the moment, him. You're not helping the red wave sweep the nation. Weak candidate! Can't believe you'd get defeated by the english.

The case against RandoMissDaisy is being built with all the proof in this thread (he said he drinks when doing the counting, obvious grounds for annulment of this edition of the championship). Lock him up! Make Oscar Great Again.
