Kyushu Basho 2009 - Days 3 and 4
| |
After four days of the Kyushu Basho 2009, the leader board of both the Makunouchi and Juyro divisions have started to take form. In Makunouchi, Ozeki Sumio has reeled off four straight wins to find himself all alone in the top spot with a 4-0 record. One step down are a sizable group of 3-1 wrestlers. Both Ozeki Doitsuyama and Sekiwake Randomitsuki improved to 2-2 to keep them in range of their goals for promotion. In Juryo, WJ1 Mysko, WJ2 Zenjimoto and WJ12 Asafan are off to fast starts to share the lead of that division at 4-0 while the Makushita division is still a day or two away from having a few names to mention that have broken away from the pack. | | Scoring on days three and four were lower than average at 5.16 and 5.56 due to several upsets among heavily favored rikishi sending the overall average for the tournament down to 6.34.

Kyushu Basho 2009 - Days 1 and 2
| |
Welcome to the last tournament of 2009, the Kyushu Basho where chirping crickets usually outnumber paid spectators. Other than the usual pre-tournament hype of the battle between rivals Asashoryu and Hakuho, something that the fans of Fukuoka has missed out on over the past few years, the other big news is about local hero Kaio. By simply entering the tournament Kaio became the iron man of Makunouchi with his 98th basho bumping the recently retired oyakata Takamiyama to number two on the list. Next on Kaio's 'to do' list is breaking Chiyonofuji's all time record of 807 top division wins. A victory on shonichi puts Kaio nine shy from that record as well. | | As for Sumo Game, the banzuke is missing something very important this time around: a Yokozuna. Sadly, Doitsuyama picked up his third makekoshi in a row last tournament to drop him down to an Ozeki. However, if Doitsuyama can rally to pick up double-digits in wins this basho, the he will regain the rank of Yokozuna for the start of 2010. As for the Sekiwake's, only Randomitsuki has a shot at promotion for Ozeki and only needs nine wins in the Kyushu Basho to pick up the golden number of 31. Good luck to both! | | For the Kyushu Basho 2009 we have a total of 172 participants entered with eight new players to the game. Scoring for the first two days have been high at 7.32 with several players already picking up a perfect day. Good luck and have fun!

Aki Basho 2009 - Day 15
| |
The Aki Basho is over with Asashoryu proving once again to never underestimate the heart of a champion. With both the final day bout and the playoff match between Yokozuna's destined to be included in highlight reels for years to come, it was finally Asashoryu hoisting the Emperors Cup for the 24th time equaling the great Kitanoumi for third on the all time career yusho list. Baruto came into his own this tournament with some great sumo as did Kakuryu and Goeido. Kaio won enough matches to get his kachikoshi heading into home turf while Chiotaikai proved once again that he is...never mind. | | In Sumo Game, Komusubi Randomitsuki won his first yusho in Makunouchi over EM7 Nushuzan in play-off and picked up the Ginosho for the 119 point tournament effort while Nushuzan was awarded the Kantosho for staying competiive most of the basho. In Juryo, EJ4 Kaiowaka defeated EJ10 Qijuryu in a play-off, 112 points to 111, for the yusho. In Makushita, Wm49 Toodemizu was handed the title in a lopsided win over his nearest rival Wm24 Gibuten on a senshuraku direct match-up. | | Congratulations to all the winners and we hope everyone stays healthy during the flu season to make their way back here in November! Take care!
