Sumo Prediction Game results for Aki are in! Sorry for the delay, it's been a busy week. Once again there was a free win so the average number of wins was up, but due to some unexpected results, was still about normal at 7.3. There were four players with 11 wins including the freebie so like the real basho, it came down to the tie-breaker playoff! Hakumadashi was the closest to the correct answer of 96 wins for Nishinoseki stable, and gets the yusho! Asset, Noy, and Jabbawalker get Jun-Yushos. The tie-breaker was much better this time, only resulting in 2 gold star correct answers from Hitouki and RaeucherLax. Some highlights from the questions: No one had faith in the Yokozuna, as only 3 people guessed correctly that there would only be one kinboshi Only Noy guessed that WTK would get a MK And for the most correct non-gimme answer, over 75% of players believed that Aonishiki would get a double digit result in Aki. Thank you to all who played! Win totals will hopefully be up next week.

Can someone explain to me why it is being called the Taihō era? Is it a kanji thing I don't get?

Nishikigi continues to be a clown

One more day to enter! PLEASE NOTE, NOW THAT NABATAME HAS GONE KYUJO, QUESTION 10 HAS BEEN MADE AN AUTOMATIC POINT FOR EVERYONE.

The results of the Sumo Prediction Game for Natsu 2025 are in! Congratulations to @e.9. for getting the yusho with an astounding 12 wins! There were 4 players with 11 wins, earning them a jun-yusho: Umiuefuji, chishafuwaku, Torafujii, and me, Gusoyama! Overall scores were significantly higher, with an average of 7.8 correct answers. This is largely due to three questions having over 85% success rates(Mitakeumi v. Kusano, ms winning v juryo, and Mita winning 3-5 in the last 7 days). Additionally, a full 10 players predicted that exactly half of the new rikishi would get a kachi-koshi. I will have to make the tiebreaker questions more difficult going forward. Thank you to all who played, results can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1B_c37D4rSX12ef3-scYxVKw9lxpNW6IjwpjpcDKqs24/edit?usp=sharing 

I am in. May the RNG be in my favor.
