Yarimotsu 548 Posted July 14 A fellow named MrLight has advertised his new ozumo statistics website on reddit. Seems to draw from multiple sources, hopefully some of which are accurate. Also has a limited implementation of AI for assistance with general queries, which I had a chuckle at. Overall it looks very well polished. Data seems to go back to the early 60s. https://sumostats.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asashosakari 18,954 Posted July 14 Sleek design and a few interesting features, but having poked around the site for the last few days, I'm having serious data integrity concerns going forward. Of the eight rikishi competing out of Nakamura-beya this basho, only two are actually assigned to the heya, the rest still show as Nishonoseki-beya members. (Due to a separate front end issue, it's currently impossible to filter the banzuke for Nakamura-beya to begin with.) Perhaps not so coincidentally, the two rikishi listed correctly for Nakamura-beya are those who changed their shikona for this banzuke. Similarly, three of the four rikishi who remained active after the closure of Michinoku-beya in March still show as members of that (non-existent) heya on the Natsu and Nagoya banzuke, only Kirishima was correctly moved. https://sumostats.com/heya appears intended to show active members of active heya, but all of the rikishi who have retired since January are still there, listed with their last ranking position whenever that happened to be. (Nakamura-beya is missing from the list of active heya here as well; it shows in the "Closed" section, with its two assigned active rikishi no less.) Match results up to Kyushu 2023 are shown bottom-to-top (first match of the day first), while Hatsu 2024 onward are listed top-to-bottom (musubi no ichiban first), as apparently that's how they're in the database due to being sourced differently. Rikishi who have changed their shikona are having their current one shown for all matches fought under the previous one; not sure if this one's a display or a data issue. The banzuke pages do show the correct shikona as appropriate for each tournament. If that's the result of just six months of maintaining the data independently from Sumo Reference, I'm less than hopeful that it won't snowball even further in the future. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Light 5 Posted July 14 I made this! To address the valid concerns of @Asashosakari; maintaining data integrity was not a serious concern for me when making the site due to 1. no one using the site other than me, 2. having sumodb as a solid reference to be able to correct mistakes later and 3. I am making a system to allow anyone to contribute edits to the database (after verification). At the moment, I am just testing out fun ideas and designs to try to effectively communicate the data. Thanks for pointing out those issues and I will try to correct them quickly. I definitely released the site too early but I would've have missed a lot of these things without someone pointing them out to me. I hope in a couple of months it will be more solid and inspire a little more confidence. I would love to hear more feedback and ideas. Apologises for the bugs/mistakes. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
