mt fuji 976 Posted March 1, 2023 I'm here to share my new website and invite everyone to play my version of Fantasy Sumo! I've been playing Fantasy Sumo with some friends and strangers on the internet since 2019. In the fall, I started learning how to code through a software engineering bootcamp, and I made this website as a final project. I've come a long way since I started playing, keeping scores in a Google Sheet and manually updating scores for every match Now that the new rankings are out and I've made some updates, the draft page is live and I would love to have as many players as possible! There's also a Database page that allows users to sort things like height & weight, yusho / kinboshi / sansho, and more. You can pretty easily see which wrestlers are all in the same heya, who has the most kanto-sho, who's the shortest... and there's another table with couple of years of (my) Fantasy Sumo scores you can use to help pick your squad. https://fantasysumo.net/ Hope you'll pick a team! Feel free to leave some constructive criticism about the site - I haven't made it look great on a tablet yet, and it's probably easier to draft on a computer than a phone... but it's a work in progress! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hidenotora 63 Posted March 1, 2023 Nice! I'll have a go and spread the word about the site. I like games that are easy to play like this, just set and forget. Since you can't change your guess I'll wait until closer to the time for my entry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can't change during the tournament, but there's a "DELETE TEAM" button on the account page if you feel the need to re-draft for whatever reason. Thanks for spreading the word!

Wamahada 49 Posted March 2, 2023 Will have a try, appreciate any creative members who run interesting games Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mt fuji 976 Posted March 10, 2023 I've been dealing with a troll over the past week - they figured out how to draft teams with racial slurs in them, and also figured out how to delete all of the teams in my database... but I think that's all taken care of now (I hope!). If you've drafted in the past 48 hours, your team should still exist, but you might need to draft again if not! Draft is open until right before Juryo starts!

Hidenotora 63 Posted March 12, 2023 Sorry to hear about the troll. I entered today, but I don't see myself with the rest of the entries yet; however if it can take up to 24 hours then I guess it just hasn't updated yet. My team is in my account page so I guess you have it. A few people's team name seems to be just their email; I can't imagine that was intentional, maybe some people wouldn't want their email being exposed like that? Something to look at maybe going forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yamashiro 1 Posted March 17, 2023 After Day 5, I see that Hoshoryu has 1 point. but his record is 2-3. Shouldn't he have 2? Am I not understanding the rules? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mt fuji 976 Posted May 10, 2023 (edited) Hey just wanted to bump this thread - the draft for this game is live and you can draft until a few hours before the action starts! https://fantasysumo.net/ On 16/03/2023 at 22:35, Yamashiro said: After Day 5, I see that Hoshoryu has 1 point. but his record is 2-3.

I'm still updating scores manually so it can take up to 24 hours for me to get around to updating the scores one day I'll have an API set up to do it for me!

Hidenotora 63 Posted July 6, 2023 Is this a totally new game, or is it a reboot of something you did previously? I'll be entering this time as well anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rokudenashi 290 Posted September 5 I've just signed up, nice site. Looking forward to playing It might have been mentioned elsewhere, but Hakuōhō's picture shows Nagamura from Kise-beya. I guess the URL should be changed from https://sumo.or.jp/img/sumo_data/rikishi/60x60/20230003.jpg to https://sumo.or.jp/img/sumo_data/rikishi/60x60/20230004.jpg - just one digit off.
