Well, somehow my picking system (which can't be seen as a system at all) at least provides me with a nice TB win quota so far. Had three TB's in 9 days and won them all. Otherwise I'd be toast as my picks are sub-par in Hatsu. And no, with my really bad picking I don't have even a slight chance for more. If I can make it "8" I'll be happy. 9 ore more wins would be a surprise and not really deserved unless I'll find a crystal ball for the remaining 6 days. Ganzohnesushi

I did not critizise your selections, I just expressed my view as your ISP Banzuke maker. From that perspective I hate such 165-12 distributions. But you are absolutely right, picking Bouts like Shimanoumi - Kiribayama on a daily basis is BORING. How about Endo vs. Mitakeumi tomorrow? Expecting a split somewhere between 65/35 and 55/45 in Endo's favour. Ganzohnesushi

In former years the pick distribution was visible directly on the web page. Unfortunately this feature isn't available anymore. I don't have direct access to this information either but from time to time a fairy godmother provides me with that stuff. Ganzohnesushi

Well, as your ISP Banzuke maker I must admit that I don't like lop-sided Bouts such as Endo vs. Enho, regardless who wins in the end. When too many players pick the same Rikishi they will more or less finish with similar scores which makes my work much harder. It is a horror when you have 85%+ of Makuuchi and Juryo ranked players finish with scores between 10-5 and 5-10. Ideally a 50/50 split between the selected Rikishi should be the aim every day. This would more or less guarantee a Gaussian distribution curve in the end with results for 85%+ of the above mentioned players from 13-2 to 2-13. From that perspective my Bout of the day should have been Myogiryu vs. Takayasu. Toto distribution for this Bout was 40-2-39. Brilliant. Ganzohnesushi

Same here. Lost all games except Quad. But I'm not glad at all At least I don't need to scroll down in most games to find my name. Simply press the "end" button... Ganzohnesushi

Thanks a lot. Looking at the current standings I should have better been quiet and taken a kosho... Ganzohnesushi

Can't find "Yamashade" in the standings.... Just checked my mails to find the confirmation from 11th Jan. 19:11 h cet. Ganzohnesushi

So do I An old-fashioned guy like me misses the colours. Too much white, looks like an aseptic clinic... Nevertheless thanks a lot for all the hard work, Jürgen. Really nice to have the archives back. Ganzohnesushi

8 losses in the dailies today. Crap! Only Chain showed some silver lining. Ganzohnesushi

Believe me, once you have reached the 50 it will become worse... Just a few more months... Ganzohnesushi
