And I am sorry for that, I was too busy with the daily updates for the World Championship. Kyushu was a close affair that had to be settled via tomoe-sen. I declare chishafuwaku the winner of that basho as he ousted Papayasu on first bracket and Yarimotsu on third bracket. Belated congratulations! 🙂

Hullo, I have just finalized the Hatsu 2026 Superbanzuke. Bunbukuchagama is ranked Yokozuna for the first time in his career as long-time Yokozuna Pandaazuma dropped to O1w. That being said, enjoy the basho!

I just wanted to take a look at the Toto banzuke on https://sekitoto.sumogames.de/Banzuke.aspx. Any idea what happened there? Many ranks and players are missing.

Hi, and happy New Year! This is to invite you to participate in the Hatsu 2026 edition of Makushita Game. The banzuke is in Doitsuyama's inbox, and awaits upload some day. In case you don't know Makushita Game: it's a pre-basho game where you pick 15 Makushita rikishi from 15 categories of the Makushita banzuke. You can find everything else at https://makushita.sumogames.de/.

Well, why not... 1-5: Pandaazuma 6-10: Oskahanada 11-20: Norizo 21-40: Joaoiyama 41-80: Ganzohnesushi 81-120: Kamibaka 121-200: Effinojo 201-: Fia

Hi TochiYESshin, welcome to the forum! I am also relatively sure that nobody in that age has won the Green Mawashi in the past though of course there have been some winners that I do not know very much about. As to SCS, with four yusho you are now tied for the most wins in that game (together with Fujisan). I hope that you and your daughter will have many great gaming bashos together!

All right. I mustered my non-existent HTML skills to bring you the Final Standings of the 2025 Sumo Gaming World Championship. Thanks to all those who played this year. Consider returning next year for another exciting year of sumo gaming!!

Hiya, the 2025 Kyushu Masters are in the bag. Blackpink in your area. Never having won anything Superbanzuke-related, BlackPinkMawashi gives a new color to the Green Mawashi by winning the Kyushu Masters 2025. A yusho tie in Salarycap Sumo and 10 points in GTB provided the basis for winning with 43.50 Masters points, just a tad before Kaito. Kaito wins the shukun-sho (his fourth already) by finishing in second place, and having three games in double digits. Bunbukuchagama completes his set of sansho trophies for winning his first gino-sho. He grabs the Technique Prize for strong performance both in pre-basho games (e.g., 5 games in the points) and daily games (e.g., jun-yusho in Bench Makuuchi). Kitakachiyama wins his first ever kanto-sho for having eight different games in the points. Congratulations to all the winners!

To be on the safe side, I will double-check all Kyushu results before providing super-official standings. Kyushu Masters results should be up in a few days. In contrast, setting up the final World Championship page for 2025 will take quite a while longer due to workload involved. I will notify when that is ready. To not having you wait longer for additional tidbits, here are some semi-official standings about the Kyushu Masters and the World Championship: Masters Hakumadashi led after Day 14, but completely collapsed on senshuraku (from 10 projected Oracle points to 1.2 points; from 10 points in Toto to 3.63 points; from 10 points in Sumo Game to 5.43 points). With 21.26 points total, he dropped from 1st to 17th on senshuraku. The Green Mawashi becomes blackpink this time, as BlackPinkMawashi scored the most points (43.50), barely fending off Kaito (42.28 points). Shukun-sho: Kaito (for finishing in second place; and for having three games in double digits) Gino-sho: Bunbukuchagama (17.00 point in his worse gaming category) Kanto-sho: Kitakachiyama (8 games within the Top 10) World Championships 2025 World Champion: Kaito (167.45 points) 2025 Shukun-sho: Andoreasu (among four players with 4 game yusho over the year, he has the highest overall score) 2025 Gino-sho: Unkonoyama (76.50 points in the worse gaming category) 2025 Kanto-sho: Andoreasu (among two players with 29 Top 10 finishes, he has the highest overall score) 2025 Pre-Basho Games Champion: Flohru (113.00 points) 2025 Daily Games Champion: Kaito (103.45 points) 2025 Bench Champion: Bunbukuchagama 2025 Chaingang Champion: sagi 2025 Tippspiel Champions: Kaito and tainosen 2025 GTB Champions: Hisui and Duden 2025 Hoshitori Game Champion: Wamahada 2025 ISP Champion: Konya ga Yamada 2025 Juryo Game Champion: Andoreasu 2025 Norizo Cup Champion: Kunibiki 2025 Odd Sumo Champion: Kajiyanosho 2025 Ozumo Bingo Champion: reeeen 2025 Paper Oyakata Champion: tomo 2025 RotoSumo Champion: Kitakachiyama 2025 SCS Champion: TochiYESshin 2025 Sekitori-Oracle Champion: Wamahada 2025 Sekitori-Quadrumvirate Champion: Beeftank 2025 Sekitori-Toto Champion: Kachikoshi 2025 Sumo Game Champion: Kakushoyama 2025 TTT Champion: Kotononami 2025 UDH Champion: Papayasu Interesting, except for Hoshitori and Oracle (both won by Wamahada), every other game had a different champion!

Thanks for the data. I don't know whether you applied the full yusho tiebreakers as they were originally set up by Gusoyama: The player with the fewest rikishi in their entry The player who spent the least amount of money on their entry The player with the highest total scoring rikishi If two players have identical entries, a rocks-paper-scissors match will ensue BlackPinkMawashi and TochiYESshin both scored 2247 points in the end. They had different line-ups, both with six rikishi, but I am not sure where and whether I can recover information about the money spent. Should I assign a double yusho then for the Superbanzuke, or will you declare a winner on tie-breaks?

Thanks a ton! I have amended the graph and now consider the standings as almost official! Flohru did increase in Hoshitori Game in the end, but not enough to get away with the Championship. Congrats to Kaito! After finishing in 2nd place in 2023 and 2024, he finally made it!

Hi there. Unfortunately (and as announced yesterday) I have no time today. Unfortunately, Hoshitori Game is stuck at Day 14, and I would not have the extra time of one hour or so to compute final results manually. Therefore, standings below are highly provisional. It's quite likely that Kaito has won the Championship! From what I gather, Flohru could only win if he got the yusho in Hoshitori Game. Again, apologies for the briefness of this, more detailed info will be issued in the upcoming days! PROVISIONAL CHART

Prospects for tomorrow: My projection now has Flohru winning the Championship. He has six games in the points. With wins in both ISP and Toto, Flohru could make a decisive step towards his second Championship title (befittlingly, 20 years after his first). But then there is Oracle. In my projections (which suggests that all rikishi get half a win on senshuraku) he would come out on top, with 2 points over 2nd place, 4 points over 3rd place, and 5 points over 4th place. That is quite a cushion, and so I project 13.5 points for him in Oracle. Then again, if several bouts will go against his direction, his virtual lead might evaporate rather quickly. And then there are multiple other reasons why the race is still wide open. Yes, there is the outside chance of one or several players making a kamikaze Odd Sumo bet on senshuraku and getting through with it. The likelihood for that is quite low, and the likelihood that one of the contestants manages to get that marvelous bet is even lower. The only one who really should be a little tight about Odd Sumo is Kaito as he might lose his precious 12 points. Other reasons for the current state of unpredictability is that we have no clue who is going to win the Makuuchi yusho (and jun-yusho). This affects two games. Case in point: Salarycap Sumo. The only thing that is sure is that Aonishiki will at least get a jun-yusho, and so I have alreaday included 20 bonus points for the inofficial SCS standings. For the two Yokozuna, everything is possible from winning the yusho to not even getting the jun-yusho. This could be crucial for Kaito who has Onosato as 10-pointer and Aonishiki as 9-pointer (he is currently trailing the Top 10 by a meager 12 SCS points). Another game where the yusho matters is Hoshitori Game (implications for Flohru who has Onosato on 13, Aonishiki on 12, and Hoshoryu on 11). And then there are games where several contestants are in or near the points (Tippspiel, Juryo Game). Bottom line: I will not place bets, and I will not even try to calculate odds at this stage. And one more thing is uncertain, and that is my level of being occupied tomorrow. There is a small chance (maybe 25%) that I have plenty of time to give you some detailed information. It is more likely that I have very little time, but at least I hope to give you (provisional) standings without commentary tomorrow. Maybe someone is willing to compute Hoshitori Game final standings tomorrow and post them in this thread? They are often not properly updated by the game itself, one would have to check for maybe the top 20 or 30 players and assign the bonus points for yusho and sansho. Anyway, good luck to the glorious Top 5 who gave us an incredibly entertaining show!

Day 14: There is only one thing for sure: this is a Championship race for the ages. I had the feeling that Pandaazuma is in the driver's seat. As I wrote yesterday, going 4-2 or better in three crucial games would have turned him into a clear favorite. The first of these six "bouts" were happening today, and in ISP, Toto, and TTT the Panda went 0-3! That added up to a net loss of 7.42 points for the day, and he dropped from 2nd to 4th. That could be good news for leader Kaito. He even had crucial wins in Bench and TTT that made up for lost points in Tipspiel and Quad. Last year's runner-up had a net gain of 0.59 points today. Enough for the title? Au contraire! I would not say "out of nowhere" but at least out of left field comes Flohru! Most crucially, Flohru won in Toto and doubled his score in that game (now 10 points). He also went to the top of my Oracle standings (though on Day 14 my standings and the official standings are both only mediocre predictors of final outcomes). Flohru gains 11.3 points for the day and suddenly moves to 1st place, even with a 4.23 leading margin (that appears to be huge given recent standards...). That turns Flohru into the 5th different leading player this basho! In-cre-di-ble!!! Unkonoyama won in Bench and another win on senshuraku could pay off big time. For now, Unkonoyama takes third place while the Panda drops to 4th, as mentioned above. Andoreasu was pegged for 10 Oracle points yesterday but was kicked out of the Top 10 today. He drops to 5th but in a crazy basho like that I would not completely write him off (at least not until I do a more thorough analysis later today). Oh, the Kyushu Masters race is also quite interesting, with two players just barely over 40 points. For the moment, Hakumadashi and BlackPinkMawashi lead the standings.

As for the prospects, it pretty much depends on how Pandaazuma will perform in daily games with a defined W/L records. He is at 10-3 in ISP (tied for 5th, one win behind the leader), 9-4 in Toto (tied for 2nd, one behind the leader and high in potential tie-breaker scores), and 8-5 in TTT (tied for 4th, one win behind the leader). So, six daily performances left. I think that if he goes 4-2 or better in these three games, he is most likely to win the Championship. But we'll see.
