Any programmers on the forums? I'm trying to scrape daily win-loss information for top division bouts, but my two main sources (sumo.or.jp and sumodb) use images to record wins and losses. Is there anywhere I can find the results as ones and zeroes or text (w, l, etc)? Or is there a way for me to scrape image info into google sheets? I'd be glad for any advice!

Google sheets doesn't support VBA, but does support JavaScript, so I guess I'll have to learn Javascript. Thanks again to both of you for the help!

The simple style might be just what I'm looking for! I'm using google sheets, but the scraping protocol is similar enough to excel. Up until now, I've used regular expressions to find what I want. How are you doing it so that it also scrapes the Rikishi number?

Python is a few steps beyond my current ability, but I thank you for the offer!

If it's not against forum rules, please do!

What's the new system that you're using?

Could anyone please explain to me why in all the projections for the March 2021 Banzuke, Shodai is ranked higher than Asanoyama? They both ended 11-4, but Asanoyama won their head-to-head. Why doesn't that make him the highest ranked Ozeki for March 2021?

Excellent answers! But what would happen these days (keeping in mind the 1997 rule change) in my hypothetical scenario, where neither A nor B in a 3-man playoff take the Yusho, but the lower ranked wrestler beats the higher ranked wrestler?

Is that because one of them won the tourney and the other didn't? If it's a 3 man playoff of A (East Sekiwake), B (West Sekiwake), and C (Komusubi, for the sake of argument), and C beats both A and B, but B beat A, do the rankings of B and A change, considering neither won the Yusho?

Greetings all, with a couple of friends I created a set of rules for a Fantasy Sumo League. I've attached them here, with the hopes that you guys can point out any glaring errors. We keep track of the results by spreadsheet and already have one Basho in the books. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MOtX9giT3P6bUBNlyqHYC5LSrDJsSQz5UatvuD6M2f4/edit?usp=sharing If there's any interest I can share the spreadsheet we used to keep track, but I don't think that's relevant at the moment to the initial document. What do you think?
