Dang! Just when I was about to get ready to make my entry.

Just a simple equation: Wacky Aki Basho = Gonzaburow Green Mawashi

Wow! It took a Whacky Aki Basho to claim the Yusho in picking the Yushoees. Quite surprising to me as I thought I'd be dead in the water having picked Shodai (6-9) and Yago - as in "Ya Go straight back to Makushita?" (7-8). A big thank you to Itachi, who keeps providing this treasure among the pre-basho games! I can only recommend those who might just check the scores to join on in! It is the only game where you can pick 15 year old greenhorns in Jonokuchi as well as the GOAT (aka. Dai-Yokozuna Hakuho).

Flohru's skills in this game are simply amazing! Using the force he definitely does!

I should tally 24.2 Master points, with an unbelievably narrow yusho in Tippspiel, a shared 3rd place in Sumo Game and a 7th place in Odd Sumo. Not much hope to earn points in the games where the final results are not yet up. This "Whacky Aki Basho" required wily picking.

I second Gurowake's approach and would like to suggest that this discussion could have completely avoided if Sadanoumi would simply have benn deactivated from the entry selection page (like kyujo rikishi are marked in Sekitori Oracle). This is a game, it should be fun and extensive study of the rulebook just to participate is definitely not fun. Just my two cents, and by the way, I am also one of those who picked Sadanoumi. I was surprised that he was still available in the entry form but I didn't have the time and musings to check if that pick would be in accordance with the rules.

Happy very belated birthday!

Happy belated b-day! (...just before e-day in d-land)

Major news for you only I guess, he is a regular guest commentator for quite some time.

D15 - 7 sec.

Well done! Yusho omedetou!

D15 - Chiyonokuni

There seems to be a big fat bug in the SG Day 13 scoring. From a first look it seems as if losing rikishi are counted as winners and vice versa

and Harumafuji saved me in convincing fashion!

Wow! Welcome to another edition of "Sumo Gaming Upset Day"! My score today in SG will be 2 or 3 - it all depends on Haraumafuji - and if I get 3 points, I will win my match. Amazing!
