Salary Cap Results

[Yokotanoharry 1]

Just wondering.

[Yokotanoharry 1]

I'm not getting ANY SC scores. Can't imagine I'm only one. Did I miss a post someplace?

[XiaoTan 93]

I remember in a different post Gusoyama was saying that he is stretched a bit this time and will not be able to update the results frequently.

So I guess we just have to be patient.

[Gusoyama 104]

yes. Time has been short in the extreme this basho. I am hoping to update them today, at least the earlier days. I apologize.

[Gusoyama 104]

results are in!(and accurate, I think)

Looks like those who picked Dejima, Kisenosato, and Tokitenku high in their list are doing pretty well so far, with all the ginboshi going around. And if Dejima keeps it up, who knows, maybe he gets a special prize, though I'm not sure because of his previous status as an Ozeki.

Right now, the high score belongs to Jesinofuji, with the following potent lineup:

Selection 1(10x pts) = Hakuho

Selection 2(9x pts) = Chiyotaikai

Selection 3(8x pts) = Kisenosato

Selection 4(7x pts) = Tokitenku

Selection 5(6x pts) = Baruto

Selection 6(5x pts) = Hokutoriki

Selection 7(4x pts) = Wakanoho

[Washuyama 662]

I probably would be doing a little better if I'd read the rules a little closer... Seems 10 rikishi are NOT required... :-)

[Gusoyama 104]

At least you're doing better than me, and I've been playing this game longer than anyone. :-)

Hi

I think there is a mistake in the Salarycap results for day 10 : the points for Hakuho's KK were obviously not counted

thanks

[Gusoyama 104]

No KK results were counted, yesterday. I fixed that for today, and put up day 11 scores.

results for salary cap usually are more erratic than most of the other games....for me it is too much to check all the results for 10 days in one try......i hope we will have daily postings of the results next basho....

[Gusoyama 104]

I don't use an auto-grabber, so that's why results are more erratic for SCS than other games. I could probably hook one up, and that would make everyone's life easier, but I still don't have the knack of how to do that yet. At the end of every basho, I check the results on the site with the results on the customized sumo results page and goo sumo to make sure they match.

if anyone wants to write me a PHP results grabber, feel free. Make sure it includes ginboshi, kinboshi, kk, special prizes, and yusho/jun-yusho bonuses.

edited to add: I hope we have daily updates next basho as well. that would mean my time had freed up some.

your efforts are really appriciated....it's very nice of you to run the game even with a full schedule.....

maybe you should ask for help from other members of this forum to at least calculate and post daily results here in the forum based on the guesses saved in your database/excelfile/whatever.....

[Jakusotsu 6,389]

I can't really see what the fuzz about daily results for a pre-basho game is all about, but that's only me of course.

you gave us your view about this quite some times before and i guess it really is only you......

i agree with you in some parts, but as pointed out before......salary cup is calsulated by hand and not the usual resultsgrabber and therefore it is easier to check the correctness if you have only one day to compare than 10....

Then I'm #2. Daily results are nice, but hardly essential for a pre-basho game.

Why did you compare all 10 days, instead of just the total? If that hadn't matched your own numbers, you could still check the individual results afterwards.

[Ganzohnesushi 546]

Daily game or pre-basho game... where is the difference in getting a daily intermediate result? I don't see any diffence at all. For me it is always nice to see the daily standings. Somehow it is more exciting to know that you are close to the KK/MK-line or still in the Yusho race after day 10, 11 or 12 than simply getting the final result on Senshuraku.

Hence I appreciate the work of all the guys providing us with daily results/standings.

Is it possible to have the win/loss records for your game?

Sorry for asking if you are buzy these days. :-P

[Gusoyama 104]

coming soon! I had finished the win/loss record, then it all got lost when my USB drive went bad. Been disheartened to start over. Will do so tonight.

Results are in! Win/Losses were very difficult to calculate this basho, as I had to subtract 150 instead of 250 to get any kind of meaningful results. However, even adjusted, 2 out of the 3 divisions had at least one 15-0 records! The Mighty Makuuchians were lead by Frinkanohana, who had a basho-high 2798 points, only 65 points lower than the maximum 2863. Jesinofuji followed and also got a 15-0, only 56 points behind Frinkanohana. In Juryo, sumo superpower Susanoo beat out Yokotanoharry and captured the yusho with 2685 points. The drama, however, was in Makushita, where Meyeryu and Sashohikufuhen battled it out to the final day, finishing with the same total of 2729, even though they had differently positioned lineups. Since they had the same lineup, the first two tiebreaker rules are passed, which leads us to the third tiebreaker rule, which states that the player with the highest total scoring rikishi wins. Both players have Hakuho on the 10 spot, so we go to the 9 spot. There we find Baruto and Chiyotaikai for Meyeryu and Sashohikufuhen respectively. Baruto scored 77 points to Chiyotaikai's 62, so that means Meyeryu gets the playoff extra point, and the yusho!

The wins/losses can be found in the usual place.

Best team possible:

Points: 2863

Selection 1(10x pts) = Hakuho

Selection 2(9x pts) = Baruto

Selection 3(8x pts) = Chiyotaikai

Selection 4(7x pts) = Tokitenku

Selection 5(6x pts) = Kisenosato

Selection 6(5x pts) = Roho

Selection 7(4x pts) = Wakakirin

Here's the breakdown per division:

Makuuchi

(Sigh...) Frinkanohana 2798 points

Lineup:

Selection 1(10x pts) = Hakuho

Selection 2(9x pts) = Ama

Selection 3(8x pts) = Chiyotaikai

Selection 4(7x pts) = Baruto

Selection 5(6x pts) = Kotoshogiku

Selection 6(5x pts) = Wakanoho

Selection 7(4x pts) = Wakakirin

Juryo

;-) Susanoo 2685 points

Lineup:

Selection 1(10x pts) = Hakuho

Selection 2(9x pts) = Baruto

Selection 3(8x pts) = Kisenosato

Selection 4(7x pts) = Tokitenku

Selection 5(6x pts) = Kokkai

Selection 6(5x pts) = Roho

Selection 7(4x pts) = Hokutoriki

Selection 8(3x pts) = Wakakirin

Makushita

(Yusho winner...) Meyeryu 2729(+1)

Lineup:

Selection 1(10x pts) = Hakuho

Selection 2(9x pts) = Baruto

Selection 3(8x pts) = Roho

Selection 4(7x pts) = Chiyotaikai

Selection 5(6x pts) = Ama

Selection 6(5x pts) = Kokkai

Selection 7(4x pts) = Wakanoho

[Kotononami 86]

2253 points in makuuchi = 5-10

2253 points in makushita would have done a 9-6.

Great difference in level of results between divisions on this tournament.

Thanks for the results Gusoyama-san.
