Hi all! Here are the possible 'milestones' for Bench Sumo players for the Aki (September) basho 2019 - TWENTY YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!! A big shout-out to Takanorappa and his Bench Sumo stat page that made this email possible. All the good stuff can be found here --> <http://www.takanorappa.com/ichimons.htm> There are five parts.... 1. The players at a new career high rank. 2. The number of active bashos (multiples of 10) - *if* the player turns up in September (it's the 20th anniversary - everyone should be there!). 3. Players who have a chance (even if very remote) of going to a new 'multiple of 100' career wins in September. 4. The current #20 leaderboard for the *all-time* total number of wins. 5. The current #20 leaderboard for the highest win percentage for *active* players. Enjoy!

I have thrown a zabuton in the past, when I was in my 20s. It was fun. Not sure that I would do so now - I am in my 40s.

Anybody know what Takanoyama is doing these days? I remember being introduced to him at a Junior World Championship (where he got Bronze in one of the weight divisions, I think), before he joined Ozumo.

Hi everyone! Here are the updated standings for the Zentoryu Quality of Sumo Award for 2019 after the July 2019 basho. This is the combined results of the ZQoSA from September 2018 to July 2019. It reads like this..... Current ZQoSA position - (Change from after May 2019) - Rank on the July 2019 banzuke - shikona - Total ZQoSA points from the previous 6 bashos - (points gain from after July 2019, basically July 2019 minus July 2018). There are no changes among the top four positions. Rubensan is the only new entry to the top ten, coming in at joint number 6. Konosato also makes a big move up the standings - but land up just outside the top 10. Over-and-out! Jejima Sanyaku level 1. (=) O1E Flohru 519 (-2) 2. (=) O2E Bill 474 (+8) 3.

I am sending this by smartphone from a village in the Philippines. So little comment, as I am also trying to keep my two boys out of mischief. The banzuke was made by Flohru (who did most of the work this time), Kaiomitsuki and Jejima, with the usual crew watching. Norizo has been repromoted to Ozeki, 'the easy way'. There are some ridiculous amounts of good luck in places, and bad luck in others. Well here it is! Enjoy!
