TORCHBEARER 2012

Beitrag von shimodahito »

good day all,
first, an introduction in german:
Da ich mich gerade wieder einmal mit dem Goldfranz beschäftigt habe, erlaube ich mir einmal den Verweis auf ein ganz ähnliches, aber natürlich völlig anderes Spiel im englischen Forum zu verweisen, den Torchbearer.
Hier heißt der Franz "the torch", was wohl soviel wie "die Fackel" heißen soll, die jeweils vom Bezwinger des Fackelträgers übernommen wird.
Das Spiel geht im Gegensatz zu unserem Franz über die 6 Bashos eines Kalenderjahres, also vorm Hatsu Basho ist wieder Meldetermin, das Schwenken ist untersagt, dafür können sich mehrere Tipper einen Rikishi teilen (Rikishisharing).

Bis September ist dann das Spiel meist völlig langweilig, es lohnt sich kaum, mal rein zu schauen, erst zum KyuShu Basho passiert dann jeweils etwas Interessantes.
Natürlich will ich mit diesem Posting vor allem darauf aufmerksam machen, dass mein Tipp auf Tosanoumi nach 10 Monaten Erfolge getragen hat und ich die Ausgabe 2009 mit klarem Vorsprung gewinnen durfte.
Alte Thüringer Bauernweisheit: Es hängt am Baum und stinkt. Was ist das?

Vielleicht schaut der eine oder andere mal rein - und gibt bis Freitag auch mal einen eigenen Tipp ab!
Es kost ja nix und im Herbst werden dann die Äpfelchen gezählt und abgerechnet.

Wundert Euch auch nicht, wenn Ihr im entsprechenden Thread des englischen Forums nicht viel über abgegebene Tipps findet!
Shimodahito hat das Spiel auch im Sumotalk Forum ausgeschrieben und einige Spieler geben ihre Tipps auch per Mail oder PM bei ihm ab.
Irgendwann gibt er dann auch mal eine Übersicht über die abgegebenen Tipps ab und von da an wird das Spiel überschaubar.

Also, Meldung abgeben und spätestens zu Beginn de Kyushu Basho 2010 mal wieder rein sehen.

ProfomisakariProfomisakari
Yusho
(and 5th place in 2011!)

the 2011 prize was sent to "crall" from Norway who should be receiving it shortly.
and now that the banzuke is out, it's time to invite you all to the easiest picking game of them all because your picks last a whole year!

here's how it works.
the torch will start with the last rikishi and last rank on the 2012 HATSU BANZUKE. this rikishi/rank will pass the torch to whoever defeats him during the tournaments (torch match). your task is to pick one rank and one rikishi that you think will end up with the most points throughout the year's six bashos.

THROUGHOUT THE YEAR:
3 points for every torch match your chosen rikishi wins.
3 points for every torch match your chosen rank wins.
1 point for every torch match your chosen rikishi loses.
1 point for every torch match your chosen rank loses.

THEN AT THE END OF THE 2011 KYUSHU BASHO:
25 points if you get the final torch holding rikishi.
25 points if you get the final torch holding rank.
OR (if the exact rank and/or rikishi is not chosen by a participant)...
10 points if you are closest to the final torch holding rikishi.
10 points if you are closest to the final torch holding rank.

PLUS SOME BONUS POINTS FOR THOSE WHO GET CLOSE TO THE FINAL TORCH POSITION:
10 points if your chosen rikishi is one position from the final torchholder, 9 points if two positions, 8 if three positions... and so on down to 1 point.
10 points if your chosen rank is one position from the final torchholder, 9 points if two positions, 8 if three positions... and so on down to 1 point.


the player with the most points at the end of the year will get a prize.

for historical reference, here's where the torch ended up in previous years:
2006, J2w
2007, Ms33w (highest position J7w)
2008, J7e (highest position J6w)
2009, J5e (highest position J3e)
2010, Ms58e (highest position J3e)
2011, J6e (highest position J4w) -- in only 5 basho!!!

please submit:
1) the name of the rikishi you think will get the most points between now and the end of the 2011 KYUSHU BASHO.
and
2) the rank of the rikishi you think will get the most points between now and the end of the KYUSHU BASHO.


deadline for entries is before the first hatsu match starts... JST. send entries to shimodahito@yahoo.com or post on sumoforum or sumotalk.

the "wildcard" pick, by default will be the lowest rikishi and rank on the HATSU BANZUKE-

i've already received a few entrees. thanks.
good luck! so easy...one rank pick, one rikishi pick.

Gerade bemerke ich in Shimodahitos Einladung einen Text, den er in Guttenberg-Technik aus einem Posting vom vorigen Jahr (oder war es das Vorvorige?) übernommen hat. Da er nicht deutsch kann, war ihm natürlich nicht klar, dass das keine 1 : 1 - Übersetzung seines Regelwerkes ins Deutsche war.
So hat die alte Thüringer Bauernweisheit nichts mit den Regeln zu tun, sondern nimmt nur darauf Bezug, dass ich 2009 mit der mir eigenen Treffsicherheit des berühmten blinden Huhnes mit einen Tipp auf Tosanoumi den Torch von 2010 gewonnen habe. Und was hängt den nun am Baum und stinkt? Eichenlob.
Ich werde ihn bitten, meine Passagen aus seinem Posting zu entfernen und auf diesen Post bezüglich der Regeln zu verweisen.
Das Spiel ähnelt unserem Goldenen Franz und ist nur ganz anders.

Der Torch ist so etwas wie unser virtueller Güldener Sagari und wird zu Beginn des Hatsu Bahos im jeweiligen Jahr a priori vom allerletzten Jonokuchi der Banzuke getragen und so wie unser Franz von Kampf zu Kampf an den jeweiligen Sieger weiter getragen. Wer den Torch am Ende des Bashos trägt, nimmt ihn fürs nächste Basho auf seinen neuen Banzukeplatz mit, von wo es dann wieder von Kampf zu Kampf weiter geht, bis dann am Ende des KyuShu Bashos der endgültige Träger des Torch feststeht.

Alle Teilnehmer des Spieles geben vor dem Hatsu Basho des jeweiligen Jahres einen Tipp ab, wer diesen Torch am Ende trägt und auf welchem Banzukeplatz er dann steht.
Zur Ermittlung des Siegers vergibt Shimodahito Punkte, die er oben aufgelistet hat und die am Ende addiert werden.

Es gibt drei Komponenten bei dieser Punktesammlung:
- Punkte auf die Platzierung des getippten Rikishi am Ende (Nähe zum Torch, siehe oben),
- Punkte auf den getippten Banzukeplatz am Ende (Nähe zum Torch, siehe oben)
- sowie Punkte auf jeden Tagessieg im Kampf um den Torch (je 3) und auf jeden verlorenen Kampf mit dem Torch (je 1) sowohl auf den Rikishi als auch den getippten Banzukerang.
Wie ich in dem zitierten Posting schon geschrieben habe, passiert gewöhnlich bis einschließlich Aki nicht viel, da der Torch sich in den Niederungen der unteren Klassen bewegt und die Teilnehmer gewöhnlich Tipps aus Juryo oder oberer Makushita abgeben. Manchmal schon im Aki Basho, meist aber erst im Kyu Shu Basho sollte man sich der Sache erinnern und Shimodahitos Tagesberichte verfolgen. Das kann dann sogar richtig interessant werden.
Also:
Wer kriegt den Torch am Ende des KyuShu Basho 2012?
Und welchen Banzukerang wird der Torchgewinner im KyuShu Basho einnehmen?
Bitte den Tipp im englischen Forum unter "Torchbearer" abgeben!

good day all,
There's still 24 hours to make your selections for TORCHBEARER 2012. Don't have time for games that require daily picks? TORCHBEARER is for you! Your selection of one rikishi and one rank will last the whole sumo year. You can pick any rank and any rikishi -- they don't have to be holding the same current banzuke position (and probably shouldn't if you want to spread your chances for points). So far 23 have entered and I'd like to at least match last year's 36 entrees.

Entries so far:

good day all,
with the release of the banzuke:

HARU STARTING TORCH POSITION: rank JONIDAN 33 EAST & rikisihi AOKISHIN

No one picked ranks in Jonidan, but rikishi picks from Jason (Rikishin), ronnie (Imao), Sukubidubidu (Goshi) and Terarno (Daichi) are currently in Jonidan so we could see a TORCH MATCH during the basho.

good day all,

There were no entree picks in Haru matches. The TORCH stayed with rank JONIDAN 33 EAST & rikishi AOKISHIN the entire basho and ended with the yusho. Many points would have gone to anyone who made those picks. Here is Haru TORCH path.

HARU BANZUKE: The TORCH starts with rank JONIDAN 33 EAST and rikishi AOKISHIN
HARU DAY 02: Jd33e Aokishin (1-0) defeats Jd32w Hokutonami (0-1)
HARU DAY 03: Jd33e Aokishin (2-0) defeats Jd33w Daishomune (1-1)
HARU DAY 05: Jd33e Aokishin (3-0) defeats Jd34w Daitenpaku (2-1)
HARU DAY 08: Jd33e Aokishin (4-0) defeats Jd39e Koju (3-1)
HARU DAY 10: Jd33e Aokishin (5-0) defeats Jd25w Musoketsu (4-1)
HARU DAY 12: Jd33e Aokishin (6-0) defeats Jd41e Isoazuma (5-1)
HARU DAY 13: Jd33e Aokishin (7-0) defeats Jd65w Hatachijo (6-1)
HARU FINAL TORCH POSITION: rank JONIDAN 33 EAST and rikishi AOKISHIN

standings:
2 points - wildcard


=====
A couple of Shikona changes:
Sakumayama (picked by Yoohoo, Simon, Oshirokita, Holleshoryu) is now Jokoryu.
Kaminoyama (picked by Andonishiki) is now Otorigatake.


BANZUKE NATSU STARTING TORCH POSITION: rank SANDANME 35 WEST & rikisihi AOKISHIN

Andonishiki has Sd100 rank pick; and rikishi picks from Profomisakari (Chiyozakura), Sukubidubidu (Goshi), Kitanoedo (Tsurbayashi), Achiyama (Wakayama), kuoimori (Wakayama), Terarno (Daichi), Andonishiki (Otorigatake), and Pitinosato (Ohara) are currently in Sandanme so we could see a TORCH MATCH during the basho.

good day all,
There were no entree picks in the Natsu matches, however the TORCH was passed around several times. Here is the Natsu TORCH path.

NATSU BANZUKE: The TORCH starts with rank SANDANME 35 WEST and rikishi AOKISHIN
NATSU DAY 01: The TORCH is passed to Sandanme 35 East Ominato (1-0)
NATSU DAY 03: Sd35e Ominato (2-0) defeats Sd34w Daiseiho (1-1)
NATSU DAY 06: The TORCH is passed to Sandanme 32 West Takunishiki (3-0)
NATSU DAY 08: Sd32w Takunishiki (4-0) defeats Sd39e Toyononami (3-1)
NATSU DAY 09: Sd32w Takunishiki (5-0) defeats Sd31w Tochinoshima (4-1)
NATSU DAY 11: The TORCH is passed to Sandanme 22 West Dewaotori (6-0)
NATSU DAY 13: The TORCH is passed to Sandanme 49 East Ota (7-0)
NATSU FINAL TORCH POSITION: rank SANDANME 49 EAST and rikishi OTA

standings:
2 points - wildcard

The NAGOYA BANZUKE will likely bring rikishi OTA and the torch into the MAKUSHITA ranks. Good luck to all.

NAGOYA DAY 13: Ms5e Yamaguchi (7-0) defeats Ms47e Higarashi (6-1) [Saruyama - 3 points]
NAGOYA FINAL TORCH POSITION: rank MAKUSHITA 5 EAST and rikishi YAMAGUCHI

good day all,

The current TORCH holder, Yamaguchi, changed his shikona for his Juryo promotion and is now known as Daikiho. So....

AKI BASHO STARTING TORCH POSITION: rank JURYO 9 WEST & rikisihi DAIKIHO

If you look at the first post of this thread, there were 37 entrees and 30 of the 37 have RANK picks in JURYO. Hmmm... who has J9W?
There are also 8 RIKISHI entrees currently lin Juryo -- Kameumi (Chiyootori), Holleshoryu & Oshirokita & Simon & Yoohoo (Jokoryu), Saruyama (Keitenkai), Cydrome & Haykutake (Satoyama).

And 6 players have Juryo RIKISHI & RANK picks! (Cydrome / Haykutake / Holleshoryu / Kameumi / Simon / Yoohoo).

it will be a busy basho. Best of luck to all in the Juryo zone.

RANK
JURYO 7 EAST vs JURYO 4 WEST

3 points - Saruyama
2 point - Kintamayama
2 points - wildcard

I do understand that, but I prefer cheering for rikishi rather ranks. ;-)
And chances that Tamawashi changes rank mid-basho are rather slim I suppose.

Nice game concept by the way - a very long dive until the action surfaces

good day all,
If your picks were in the high juryo/low maegashira range OR low juryo/high makushita range; there's a good chance you'll be getting some bonus points. Two players are fighting it out for 25 bonus points. Who will it be? ronnie or kuroimori? 25 points will certainly put them in the lead, but will it be enough to win after all the bonus points are calculated?

Congratulations to kuroimori for an outstanding win, earning 38 points and hitting the bullseye. Last year we had 3 hit the bullseye. I will be contacting you for your address so I can send your prize. The 2009 winner, Profomisakari still holds the record of 59 points.

- 31 out of 37 entrees had points this year! -- 84%!!

Thanks for participating and I hope you all can put a pick in for next year. You can send your TORCHBEARER 2013 picks to me now, or wait until the Hatsu banzuke is released when I send out the invite. The TORCH starts at the bottom of the Hatsu banzuke. Pick one rank and one rikishi where you think it will be at the end of the year.
Again, thanks.
