onepaperkid Posted November 8, 2017 Posted November 8, 2017 I watch every Sumo tournament on TV Japan. and have been following Sumo since 1969 (when I was living in Japan). I now have a small group of Sumo fans in my city in Western, New York State and I hold Sumo viewing parties during each tournament. I use "Sumo Reference" frequently to prepare information (it has better and more information that the Sumo Kyokai site). It is a lot of work to put together something in English to help my group understand the NHK Sumo broadcasts (none of my group, except myself and my wife, understand Japanese. So, I always copy out the tournament banzuke in English from Sumo Reference (http://sumodb.sumogames.de/) onto 11 X 17 paper for them to use anf the daily taisen from the Sumu Kyokai website. It's easier for me to explain to them what's going on during the matches. I speak good Japanese and read at the high school level and keep up a sort of running commentary during the matches. I issue a daily report commenting on the matches to my small group of fans and add bits of Sumo trivia. Using the Sumo Reference makes it easier for me to prepare enough information for the group to get a feel for each of the sekitori. But Sumo Reference has not update their banzuke for the Kyusho Basho 2017. I e-mailed Alexander Nitschke and asked if he was going to update the site but received no reply to date. Does anyone have any information regarding the status of that website?
Gaijingai Posted November 8, 2017 Posted November 8, 2017 I use www.cibersumo.com for banzuke and past results information. Make sure you hit the England flag on the upper right for the English version of the site. :) TYhe banzuke and past banzukes and results are on the upper left side. In between there is a sumo game. I play it.
Gaijingai Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 after seeing enough 6 nations on TV, I should have!
Akinomaki Posted November 17, 2017 Posted November 17, 2017 So, is it then the English flag - or only the "English"-flag ?
Yamanashi Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 FYI, I'm getting nothing but 404 errors when I try to access the database.
