They will pick up 25 END-OF-YEAR TORCH points. But first, here's the Kyushu summary -- a chance to check my math before the END-OF-YEAR TORCH points are tallied. 58 points were shared among 15 participants, with Ganzohnesushi keeping his very close lead.

shimodahito Posted November 22, 2015 Author Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) The 2015 TORCH prize is ready to be sent to the winner.With the final TORCH MATCH POINTS complete (see previous post), it’s now time to award the end-of-year FINAL TORCH POINTS. To recap the rules for end-of-year TORCH POINTS, 25 points are awarded if you picked the FINAL TORCH position. Additional points are awarded to the next 10 closest picks. (10 points to the closest pick, down to 1 point for the 10th closest pick) We’ll start with the END-OF-YEAR TORCH POINTS for RANK. Shitamachi made the correct TORCH RANK pick at JURYO 6 WEST for 25 points; but 3 players were only one position off the mark and each get 10 points. In all, 23 players earned FINAL TORCH RANK points.FINAL TORCH RANK: JURYO 6 WEST:MAEGASHIRA 11 EAST..MAEGASHIRA 11 WEST..MAEGASHIRA 12 EAST..MAEGASHIRA 12 WEST..MAEGASHIRA 13 EAST..MAEGASHIRA 13 WEST..MAEGASHIRA 14 EAST..MAEGASHIRA 14 WEST..MAEGASHIRA 15 EAST..MAEGASHIRA 15 WEST..MAEGASHIRA.16 EAST..JURYO 1 EAST........JURYO 1 WEST........JURYO 2 EAST........JURYO 2 WEST........JURYO 3 EAST........(7 points: Chisaiyama)JURYO 3 WEST........JURYO 4 EAST........(8 points: Sukubidubidu & Umigame)JURYO 4 WEST........JURYO 5 EAST........JURYO.5 WEST........JURYO 6 EAST........(10 points: Yubinhaad)FINAL TORCH RANK: JURYO 6 WEST........(25 points: Shitamachi)JURYO 7 EAST........(10 points: Daughter of Sukubidubidu & nomadwolf)JURYO 7 WEST........JURYO 8 EAST........(9 points: chishafuwaku)JURYO 8 WEST........JURYO 9 EAST........(8 points: Fatakiyama & Jejima)JURYO 9 WEST........JURYO 10 EAST.......(7 points: Ganzohnesushi)JURYO 10 WEST.......(6 points: Hitotsuboshi & Profomisakari)JURYO 11 EAST.......(5 points: Mmikasazuma & yorikiried by fate)JURYO 11 WEST.......JURYO 12 EAST.......JURYO 12 WEST.......JURYO 13 EAST.......(4 points: Toratorii & Tsubame)JURYO 13 WEST.......(3 points: Achiyama & Shokikogi)JURYO 14 EAST.......JURYO 14 WEST.......MAKUSHITA 1 EAST....MAKUSHITA 1 WEST....MAKUSHITA 2 EAST....(2 points: Furanohana)MAKUSHITA 2 WEST....MAKUSHITA 3 EAST....MAKUSHITA 3 WEST....(1 point: Kintamayama & Oshirokita & ronnie)The FINAL TORCH RANK points put Shitamachi into the lead with 32 points, and Ganzohnesushi & Yubinhaad tied for second with 23 points.Next, the END-OF-YEAR TORCH POINTS for RIKISHI.

Also, this year matched the 2011 TORCH with 3 players hitting the 25 TORCH point bullseye (2012 had one bullseye). J6W Onosho certainly was the underdog in the final match and if he lost, the point standings would look very different. Shin-deshi Shitamachi and other newcomers made strong debuts. Profomisakari still holds the record of 59 points.Thanks for participating and I hope you all can update your pick or, if a new player, submit a pick for next year. You can send your TORCHBEARER 2016 picks to me now, or wait until the Hatsu banzuke is released. An invite (with rules for new players) will be out soon. Pick one rank and one rikishi where you think the TORCH will be at the end of the year. This sumo game has a prize. New players are always welcome.Again, thanks.-shimodahito Edited November 22, 2015 by shimodahito 1
Jejima Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 I am very honoured to win the TORCH. I feel that all of my hard work in preparation for this game has finally paid off. Next year, I will be doing my best to win this award again.
