I don't want to sound harsh, especially to those players who dropped out, but I'm kinda pleased to see the Sanyaku resembling a "real" banzuke for a change.

It was a nailbiter right to the end. As Haidouzo's tie-breaker points were abysmally low compared to the leader Ganzohnesushi's, he had to hope for a stumble of the latter, but that didn't happen. So the cup goes to my dear, beer-loving friend - Prost!

Yusho:

M1e Ganzohnesushi (12-3) (Yusho winner...)

Kanto-sho:

ms3w Korinokoishi (18)

Gino-sho:

M2e Randomitsuki (13-13)

Shukun-sho:

J5w Senkoho (4.007)

Congrats to all winners!

Thank you for playing, see ya in July.

Yessss. Finally I could make it. Winning the Yusho in this very special game means a lot to me. I was cycling along the Lake Constance when I got the message that my picks for Senshuraku went through.

I remember when Klaus and me some ten years ago were sitting in a nice Nuremberg beer garden when he first mentioned his idea of such a game. As he was not fully convinced whether this game would be a success it took another four or five years 'til he finally decided to go "online". And what a success this was. Meanwhile TTT has achieved a regular participation of 70 Rikishi, more than some established SB games.

Now I hope I can repeat my result in Nagoya Basho.
