Nagoya Basho 2008 - Day 15
| |
The Nagoya Basho 2008 is in the record books and what started off as an exciting tournament turned into a rout by Hakuho who remained undefeated for his seventh Emperors Cup. In Sumo Game, we were not without some drama of our own as server problems on day 13 frayed nerves and dampened the spirits of some but all and all most people were understanding. | | The winners have been announced in all three of the divisions and special prizes have been awarded. EM1 Susanoo picks up a second yusho with an 11-4 mark after beating Sekiwake Norizo in a play-off. WM7 Huumi won the Ginosho with his 107 points for the tournament. In Juryo, EJ2 Ketsukai wins the yusho with a 12-3 record and will get a nice boost up the ranks and will most likely be returning to Makunouchi in September. In Makushita, Wm46 Hashira won the play-off against Em72 Mishashimaru for the title of that division. | | Congratulations to all the winners! Enjoy your summer, be safe and hopefully we will see everyone back for the Aki Basho in September!

Nagoya Basho 2008 - Day 14
| |
Going into the final day of the Nagoya Basho 2008 the yusho for all three division are up for grabs. In Makunouchi, EM1 Susanoo is leader with an 11-3 mark and only needs another win for the tournament title. Still mathematically alive is Sekiwake Norizo who is 10-4. If Susanoo loses on Senshuraku and Norizo wins, both would be tied with identical records, however, Norizo needs to make up five points to have a shot at the yusho. Since Susanoo has already defeated Norizo on day two in a head to head match up, Norizo's only hope for yusho is to pass Susanoo in total points, identical point totals at the end of the tournament would still tip in favor of Susanoo. | | In Juryo, EJ2 Ketsukai and EJ11 Sokkenaiyama are still in a fierce battle for the yusho that has gone on for several days now. If one should win on the final day and the other should lose, then the winner would pick up the title without the need for a tie breaker. If both should win on the final day, then the title would most likely be awarded to Sokkenaiyama based on overall points since Sokkenaiyama has a commanding lead with 102 points to Ketsukai's 97. If both should lose on senshuraku, then WJ4 Fuseigou and EJ8 Pandaazuma could join the yusho hunt should they pick up their 11th win. However, with Fusigou's 95 points and Pandaazuma's 98 points, Sokkenaiyama still has the best shot at winning the yusho. | | In Makushita, Wm46 Hashira, who has had an outstanding tournament with a 13-1 mark after 14 days, can win the title outright win a senshuraku win. However, if Hashira should lose, then the winner of the bout between Wm71 Moyazhopa and Wm72 Mishashimaru, who are both one loss off the pace, would enter into a tie breaker with Hashira. Hashira would be in the best position to win any tie breaker with his 100 points. Going into the final day, Moyazhopa has 94 points while Mishashimaru has 92. | | Good luck to the yusho contenders on Senshuraku! | | On a final congratulatory note, our Yokozuna Doitsuyama has achieved a personal milestone on day 14 by picking up his 400th career victory! Excellent job Doitsuyama!

Nagoya Basho 2008 - Server Problems
| |
On Day 13 of the Nagoya Basho, chaos became the norm for the day at Sumo Game as server problems most of the day prevented many people from entering their picks. We would like to offer our deepest apologies for any inconvenience and hope that you continue playing without too much frustration or anger. For those of us that are veterans of internet usage, we need to be reminded that the technology is not perfect and from time to time glitches happen in the system. Unfortunately for those of us playing Sumo Game the server happened to crash at crucial time in the tournament when many of us were either in the yusho hunt, going for special prizes or just trying to eek out that eighth win. Sadly, however, the results from day 13 will be logged into the stats, as is. | | Again, our most sincere apologies! | | Fortunately, none of the leader boards in any of the three divisions were effected too drastically from server outage. In Makuuchi, Sekiwake Norizo and EM1 Susanoo remain neck in neck in the yusho chase with a 10-3 record. One match down are Komusubi Mimawari and EM8 Kinkaizan. In Juryo, EJ2 Ketsukai and EJ11 Sokkenaiyama are co-leaders with a 10-3 mark while WJ4 Fuseigou, WJ6 Ganzohnesushi and EJ8 Pandaazuma are one loss off the pace at 9-4. In Makushita, Wm46 Hashira is the sole leader at 12-1 with newcomers Wm71 Moyazhopa and Em72 Mishashimaru nipping at his heels at 11-2.

Nagoya Basho 2008 - Day 11
| |
What started off as potentially a close Nagoya Basho has pretty much turned into a rout as Yokozuna Hakuho looks to easily walk away with his seventh Emperor's Cup. With a command three match lead over the rest of the field, Hakuho just needs two more wins to mathematically eliminate his closest competitors. Although Hakuho will most likely pick up the yusho by day 13 or day 14, there have been many exciting bouts, not only among Sanyaku regulars, but among the rank and file rikishi as well. Also, it is nice to see the 'sold out' banner, once again, hanging from the rafters in the middle of the week in Nagoya, a place where, of late, you could hear crickets chirping from lack of fans in the audience. | | In Sumo Game, Makunochi leader Sekiwake Norizo got back to his winning ways on day 11 to up his record to 9-2. One match off the pace are EM1 Susanoo and EM7 Flohru. On Day 12 Norizo will face the Yokozuna Doitsuyama who is looking to pick up his 400th career victory before the end of the Nagoya Basho. In Juryo, EJ2 Ketsukai(9-2) remains the sole leader while extending his winning streak to five matches. One loss down are EJ4 Meyeryu, EJ11 Sokkenaiyama and WJ12 Metzinowaka. In Makushita action, WM30 Yurkozan and Wm46 were both victorious on day 11 to increase their tournament record 10-1.
