Kensho Standings (Aki 2012)

Disclaimer: I translate this information from the Nikkan Sports Webpage. It should not be considered official. Nikkan is known to make mistakes in their kensho counts from time to time, but they usually get around to correcting them. Also, Nikkan only posts the top 10 everyday, so I have no idea how many kensho someone not on that list has.

Thanks. I was getting curious as to how much each match was worth and how many envelopes there were. Guess I could count the banners before the match but...

Okay, so this chart includes the previous day's winnings as well?

Right, that's the way the data is presented on the Nikkan Sports Webpage. Actually, why do I write this, it's in the big red flashing (ok, not) text in the intro to this thread...
