This is more common that one would expect. I have certainly won/lost that way dozens of times. Never been involved in the third TB though...random selection of the winner.

Rocks 1,809 Posted March 14, 2019 Finally got a win in Toto, by the skin of my teeth no less. That game is murder this basho. The rest are a mixed bag except for Chain where I exited early. I don't expect I am doing well in Hoshitori but I don't think I am very low either. Hopefully. As far as Oracle I picked too may KK again somehow but at least it looks like I picked mostly right for the MKs so far. @Pandaazuma that was pretty stunning going for a 5 for Mita. I don't think he would score only 5 even with 1 leg. But he is far from having a KK in the bag yet so it may not hurt you too much. Enho on the other hand is going to cost a lot of people points.

My impression from the pre-basho keiko reports was that he basically couldn't do sumo at all. Given that he has to fight all the top guys, I decided to risk the 5-10. Now of course I can see that he is about 70%. He will probably get 8 now, so my main aim is to get KK. Edited March 14, 2019 by Pandaazuma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only information I gleaned was that he *didn't*, but he's not known for being a stellar example of training so I just took it that he wanted to take it easy and had a good excuse. But I don't really read them very carefully since they have no bearing on my selections. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seven or less would not surprise me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pandaazuma 1,310 Posted March 16, 2019 Oracle day 7. Still a bit raggedy here but things should look a lot clearer by day 9. Leaders: Gurowake, DeRosa Norizo -3 Pandaazuma -5 Choshu-Yuki -7 Chishafuwaku -13 If anyone else is tracking their score against mine (and hence against the others in this list), feel free to add their current projection.

Pandaazuma 1,310 Posted March 20, 2019 Oracle Day 11: Leader: DeRosa Gurowake, Norizo -2 Chishafuwaku -8 Pandaazuma, Choshu-Yuki -10 Scott, you can work out your and Andoreasu's projections by comparing them to mine. Ando looks to be your main rival for the Green Mawashi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ganzohnesushi 528 Posted March 20, 2019 Just checked my score and compared it to Gurowake and Panda. Final projection sees myself 4 points behind Gurowake but 3 points ahead of Simon. This raises some hope for at least a few SB masters points. Calculations were made on a rather negative outcome for me, i.e. I might finish closer to Gurowake than to the Panda. Minimum 2 wins on the remaining 4 days each from Takakeisho, Mitakeumi and Sokokurai would be very nice, 3 or more wins by the two Sanyaku would be great.

Jakusotsu 6,052 Posted March 21, 2019 Is there any way to see how many perfect ties a player had in Sumo Game? Can't remember having many of those before, but I'm heading towards one (which I'm bound to lose). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is no dedicated stat, but if you go to the highest scoring days, most of the 10-10s in history will be there. Of course then you would have to count them individually.

Rocks 1,809 Posted March 21, 2019 Welp! A 14 in Bench and my first 10 ever in SG, both for KKs! Woohoo! Along with wins everywhere else except Odd where I was going for long shots anyway. I am loving Sumo life! Which means I am probably going to get crushed tonight. Oh well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taka 33 Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) In SG it will be interesting to see if Japanese players will be proven spectacularly right a little later today. I've only looked around in makunouchi, but most players from outside Japan have Kakuryu in their lineups and I'm guessing no one Tochinoshin (who has a lot at stake of course). However I noticed that both Norizo and Susanoo were confidently picking Tochinoshin, then checked to see if this was some kind of Japanese trend and found out that almost all other Japanese listed players Chankoyama, Natsunoyama, Hironoumi and Survivor were avoiding the bout. So not exactly picking Tochinoshin but not picking at first, second and maybe third glance good favorite in Kakuryu either. Fujiyama is the one exception going with Kakuryu like the gaijin! Interesting! And yes if I could I probably would pick Tochinoshin right now! Or at least avoid the bout (which did actually enter my mind a lil bit) Edited March 22, 2019 by Taka 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
