Yes, I think it is time to say a big THANK YOU to Susanoo for all his efforts around Norizo Cup. Life for us non-Japanese gamers/speakers has become much more comfortable since Susanoo has taken over the translation duties. The repeated disappearance of entries indeed is annoying. As Panda already has mentioned double check before the basho starts is highly recommended. My name was already twice on the entry list one or two days before the basho and a couple of hours before the start it has disappeared. Must be some kind of a black hole, a real mystery to me.

A so/so basho has come to an end. Wasted a few opportunities for more SB masters points, e.g.three losses in a row in SG after looking good at 8-4. Pre-basho picks worked much better than the dailies with good results in POG (9th, 11-4), Oracle (4th, 12-3) and NorizoCup (5th, 11-4). Grabbed another 1.5 points in JG and did surprisingly well in Odd (8th) for another 3 points. Summa summarum 21,5 points so far plus x from UDH where I expect a top 10 finish (was 2nd after day 6). Not that bad but also not really good. Much space for improvement in Aki. Ganzohnesushi

Sorry Simon, but I don't buy this. For me this thesis comes totally out of the blue. With the same impudence I could claim that Hakuho under normal circumstances would have finished 12-3, Kakuryu 11-4, Abi definitely 8-7 and Kotonowaka of course 9-6. So all these withdrawals hit me the hardest. I'm 100% sure this cost me my 4th Oracle Yusho Ganzohnesushi

Winning this easily? Really? Sounds a bit arrogant. As reigning SB Yokozuna I would expect a bit more respect from you for the other combatants. And believe me, other players were affected by these kyujos in the same way. You better watch out for Derosa and especially Oshirokita who is my hottest candidate for the Yusho as of now. I might be finishing somewhere beween #3 and #8 or so. Ganzohnesushi

Usually I check the standings (almost) every Day. But not yesterday... Ganzohnesushi

For me these 11 days felt like a trip on a rollercoaster. Some days my picks were fine while on others it was pure disaster. Instability is the only consistency I can rely on. At least I see chances to grab a few SB masters points in the one or the other game, but I'm far away from any Yusho. Ganzohnesushi

Perhaps predicting 30 kachi koshi for 42 Makuuchi Rikishi is a little bit too optimistic... Ganzohnesushi

Just woke up during the night and tried to enter my picks in Toto. Worked fine for me. Now back to bed... Ganzohnesushi

It is not fixed. Problem occurs again... I assume there will be many players still trying in vain to make their picks. If Doitsuyama (or someone else) is not able to work on entries sent by PM I hope Day 8 simply will be excluded from the standings. Ganzohnesushi

Funny, on Day 5 I won in all daily games (except Chain where I took the exit already on Day 3) only to lose in every single game today. This extreme definitvely never has happened before. Ganzohnesushi

Haidouzo took kosho already in March in all games where I'm working on the Banzuke, i.e. it will be 0-0-15 for him in all these games (ISP, SalaryCap and Odd Sumo). Perhaps he can enter at least Odd Sumo within the next few days. Spending (or wasting) 15 Ante is doable in only 5 days. And with 15 Ante left he might finish 5-10 or so... Ganzohnesushi

Seems my brain dosn't work anymore. Had to get up at 2:45 a.m. this morning and I'm completely tired now... Ganzohnesushi

Thanks a lot, Sir! Ganzohnesushi

Are you serious? Both have picked a loser on Day 3 and they are out. Or should I mention that my default Pick Terunofuji won while I picked Mitoryu... It's game over. Period. Ganzohnesushi

Dear Susanoo-san, the results page still shows the Haru results. Any idea when we can have a view on the current Nagoya results? Ganzohnesushi
