Jakusotsu

Final results: Ura decided to pull the plug which leads to the earliest final results ever. Spiffy remains in the lead unchallenged and takes the yusho in this rather unusual edition of the game - congratulations!

Yup, only Kotonishiki didn't and Tamawashi didn't hasn't yet. fixed

...which is rather amazing considering the 20 Yusho or Jun-Yusho winners ranked below.

I'm also trying to make sense of Sir Golden Balls, but fail miserably.

Whirlwind?

Win/Loss on day 13, it seems.

Switching to "whatever" mode... Day 15 - Shodai

Three players won the lottery. Oshirokita is the only one left to challenge Spiffy for the yusho.

So a Maegashira yusho is already booked, unless they go wild with the torikumi.

Takerufuji not official yet as of 3:30pm. Edit: official now at 4:00pm

I'd *really* like to know what goes wrong with that guy! Day 14 also had the same wrong team as day 13, but in different order. All the other days including day 15 were correct. Thanks for letting us know in time - fixed.

Seven wrong spellings in Tipspiel alone yesterday...

If only someone told Tosanoumi...

Perhaps they got fed up with that deteriorating platform like many others.

No, he didn't. He was backpedaling yet again until he finally got into the groove.

Too much liquid is bad for someone without kidneys.

Stubborn... Day 14 - Mitakeumi

Is the yusho decided already?

Nope. Injuries don't have any impact on the banzuke, only results.

You mean the real world extra time, of course. No extra time in the game.

Although Achiyama had more W slots available, Pitinosato manages to win 2:0 in normal time and advances to the big final - congratulations!

The torikumi is showing Kaio again! Er, wait a minute...

Tamawashi agrees.
