Haha, I had 40 bulls eyes compared to Asashosakari‘s Nagoya Banzuke ——> Yusho with 80 points Ganzohnesushi

Hi Simon small correction on your Sumo game comment: " It was heartbreak for Yumezukuri, who has played Sumo Game since 2001 and has never won a yusho in any division." This statement is not true as Yumezukuri has won Juryo Yusho in Natsu'14... Ganzohnesushi

This is really ironical. Won my SG Bout vs. Andoreasu 7-6, but would have lost vs. Yumezukuri 7-8... Usually stuff like this doesn't turn out to be in my favour. That's really a nice compensation for all the bad luck I had over the years in this game. However, as I have gained the most points among all players I feel this is somehow deserved. It doesn't happen too often, that the player with the most points grabs the Yusho. And the icing on the cake is that totally unexpected Yusho in S4. After exactly 10 years my 2nd Yusho in this great game. Funny enough - my Seki-Toto score is 5-10 though only 9 players have collected more points... So its a Yusho in the two games I like most among them all. In addition I collected a friction of points in GTB, CG and TTT --> 32,31 in total. Ganzohnesushi

Yesssssssssssssssss! After Endo's win for Yumezukuri I needed wins from Asanoyama, Meisei, Mitakeumi and Kakuryu for my own and Trender's win. Brilliant. TB is 105 - 103 in my favour. No 9th Jun-Yusho. Its Yusho Ganzohnesushi

Already won my Bout vs. Andoreasu. Trender needs Mitakeumi and Kakuryu to beat Yumezukuri.... a nailbiter Ganzohnesushi

Takanohana and Akebono. The thrilling Bouts they had in the 90's (24-24). Ganzohnesushi

Looking at the matchups that was my guess too. However, Trender is a hard nut for Yumezukuri and I'm confident he will do his best. What will be really annoying is if I lose vs. Andoreasu with a score that would have beaten Yumezukuri. I know my usual luck in these situations... But all I can think of is winning! Ganzohnesushi

Yes, I AM gutted. Would have liked to have it in my own hands. Obviously the Torikumi maker thought, Trender (aka Derosa) would win against me. In that case the final Bout between Yumezukuri and Trender would have been perfect but I was following my own script Nevertheless, my 9th Jun-Yusho is in the bag unless Senshuraku offers me the sweetness of a Yusho. TB currently is in my favour (98 vs. 95). I have a slightly better chance for the Yusho in S4 as I'm the sole leader at 12-2 but at least two of the 4 chasing guys at 11-3 will easily beat me in a TB. So I need to eke out another lucky win on Senshuraku. Difficult, when your remaining Rikishi are rather underdogs in tomorrows Bouts. Let's see what the Day brings. Ganzohnesushi

This is funny somehow. 17 players have expected a much better performance by the Ozeki and are now rewarded with 20 points for their no-show. Unbelievable lucky guys. Ganzohnesushi

Had sent a gentle reminder e-mail to Doitsuyama already yesterday.... Worked well last basho but now...? Ganzohnesushi

Today I had the rare occurrence of meeting the same aite in Bench and SG. Luck was on my side in both games today as I could beat Susanoo in a 7-7 TB in SG and with a nice 12-9 in BS. With Shin going kyujo and Kaisei being severely injured most of my pre-basho games will go South. Among the dailies a few games look promising. SG (5-1), S4 (5-1), TTT (4-2) and DST (currently 4th) will hopefully add a few SB masters points to my tally. Exit in Chain on Day 4 was good enough for 0,88 points and from GTB I already had 0,6 points. Ganzohnesushi

I guess only 41 players survived and even 45 took the exit. Ganzohnesushi
