Poor tournament so far, near dead last in all pre-basho games. Head slightly above water in Sumo Game and TTT with 4-3 records.

Mixed bag of a basho. Good Roto: 2nd place Bench: 10-5, KCC Semi-Finals Meh Juryo Game: 33rd/62 ISP: 7-8 Bad Sumo Game: 6-9 despite my best scoring effort in some time Chain: Out on Day 3 Awful TTT: 2-13 Salary Cap: 56/57, but has not been updated for day 15, so I could easily be last.

My system doesn't perform quite as well as yours Panda, but I definitely feel your pain in SG. This is my best scoring basho since returning to sumo gaming, and I'm 3-7 against poor opposition scoring. Very unfortunate. What luck I have had in dailies this basho has been spent in Bench. I'm 7-3, still alive in the KCC, despite being very very low in MCP standings. I'm literally in last place in SalaryCap, 55th in Juryo Game, so aside from possible points from Roto, pre-basho games are also poor.

Pretty poor basho for me as of day 5. Only bright spot is that I'm currently in 13th overall in Roto. Close to .500 in all dailies, except for TTT which I'm 0-5. Lost in Chain on day 3. I'm next to last or close enough in the rest of my pre-basho games.

Excited to finally be watching sumo again. Here is a brief summary of day 1 for the beya. I didn't have the time to manually complete all the fields that Simon usually does, so I only pulled what I could scrape from the banzuke page. Good luck everyone!

Welcome, here is a link to the games included in the SB Masters Series. http://99998271.com/sb/intro.html

I've only been playing games on and off for ~3 of the last 7 years, so it's a small sample size. Two lucky bashos this year in Chain heavily tip the scales.

Pre Basho GTB: 6-9 74th, never do well in this game. Can't fight the urge to rank where I want, instead of where I think they will actually be placed. Juryo Game: 61/68, typical dreadful pre-basho performance. Roto: 25/79, started slow but ended up with a respectable placing thanks to Mitakeumi and Aoiyama. SalaryCap: Mid-pack through 14 days, unremarkable. Daily TTT: 8th place, tied with many many people, so I'll get a small amount of Masters points. Sumo Game: 8-7 with a horrendous day 15 (4 points). Chain Gang: Tied for 6th place, so I think I'll manage some Masters points here. ISP: 11-4, not good enough to get any Masters points unfortunately. Bench: 8-7 consecutive losses to end the basho, a but disappointed despite the kachi koshi.

Joint 6th place in Chain which is nice. I'm between 4-6 and 6-4 in all daily games so nothing exciting to report. Pre-basho games are going poorly. Similar to Panda, I'm just hoping that 8th win comes along in SG and Bench.

Fairly poor basho performance from myself so far. Hoping to do a bit better going into the weekend. Good: Alive in Chain, doing well in Roto Meh: 3-2 in Bench and TTT, 2-3 in ISP Bad: 1-4 in Sumo Game Ugly: All other pre-basho games I entered

It's actually one of the only things I somehow consistently do well on. While I may not necessarily pick many winners, I have an edge ordering them I guess. I'm 50/71 (70%) in tie-breakers so far in my career in SG. I think I'll need refine how I pick my bouts after this basho as my overall score is consistently low. Take a deep dive into how my overall picks differ from the top scoring guys and hopefully learn something.

I feel your pain with the pre-basho games. I'm currently 74/75 in Juryo game, and 83/88 in Roto. Getting my kachi-koshi in SG and ISP takes a little bit of the sting away.

Loses in every daily game, I will gambarize and improve tomorrow.

Slightly embarrassing on my part, no excuse to not fully read the rules of the game. Congrats to Gaijingai

Lottery is an understatement, I miss the bashos of years past where 2-3 bouts felt >85% certain. It's almost impossible to compare ones performance in games to past basho. That being said, I'm happy with my results in daily games this basho, but not necessarily my performance. 4-1 in SG and ISP. I'm still alive in Chain Gain (top 3!). 0-5 in TTT, which is disappointing because that's a game I "somewhat" regularly (2-6 bashos) scored masters points in when I was active back in 2015. Pre-bashos are a disaster as always.

Doing as well on day 3 as I can reasonable hope. 2-1 in SG, and ISP. Still alive in Chain Gang. TTT isn't going too great, but I'm hoping I can do better the next few days. Pre-basho games are a disaster as always.

I missed the entry for Bench, so I'm starting off the decade great

1-5 - Pandaazuma 6-10 - ScreechingOwl 11-20 - Gurowake 21-40 - Bill 41-80 - Tenshinhan 81-120 - Suwihuto 121-200 - Takanorappa 201+ - Domichi

Terrible basho 76/81 in Roto Out on Day 1 in Chaingang 5-10 in Bench 7-8 in SG T47 in ISP (9-6) is my only consolation Almost forgot, 36th in GTB which was cool (9-6) See you all next year!

Managed to avoid a full collapse in SG somehow. Sitting at 5-6 after a 1-5 start. Bench is unrecoverable at this point at 3-8. ISP: 8-3, tied for 23rd overall. Moved up three positions in Roto to 77th (from 80th). I'll take what I can get, just trying to stay out of last at this point.

Day 5 Update: It's not great edition Bench 1-4 (Goeido and Kakuryu hurt me here) SG 1-4 (Every Basho I get worse and worse ) ISP 4-1(Basho is not a total failure so far) Chain, out on day 1 Roto 80/81

6 points in SG over two days. I've apparently forgotten how sumo works.

Excited for the basho to begin. I'm hoping for a KK in SG (hoping to be back in Juryo by the end of 2020) and Bench, and just to avoid embarrassing myself in the pre-basho games.

Given your performance over the past year, I'm sure you'll be starting 2020 from Juryo!

Mixed bag for me this basho. Pre Basho: GTB: 4-11 Fantasy Sumo: No idea, but not good considering I had Hakuho and probably Ichinojo Roto: Poor showing with a 66th place finish Daily: ISP: Just squeaked through with an 8-7 Bench: Not a terrible 7-8 record considering I had Hak and Ichi here as well. Sumo Game: Worst basho of my career and I lucked into a 10-5 record. I'm very fortunate to be carried with a very high tiebreaker win rate of 70.5% (43/71 so far), which netted me 4 of my wins this basho.
