TORCHBEARER 2013

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.

(and 5th place in 2011!)

good day all,
the 2012 prize was sent to kuroimori (in GERMANY!!!!) who should be receiving it shortly.
it's time for the once-a-year invite 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 2013 HATSU BANZUKE (rikishi/rank at the bottom of jonokuchi). when the holder of the torch has a bout, this is called a TORCH MATCH. the winner of the TORCH MATCH keeps the torch. with the torch always passed to the winner, through the year, it will eventually make way up the banzuke. the object of the game 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 2013 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!!!
2012, J2e (highest position J1e)


please submit:
1) the name of the rikishi you think will get the most points between now and the end of the 2013 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 or the tipspiel forum.

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... no daily picks needed.

Good day all,
Another basho with the TORCH stuck in Makushita. Points will be a struggle this year as it is doubtful the TORCH will reach Juryo where most of your rank picks are. Here's a summary of the TORCH in Aki:

Start-of-Aki TORCH Rank: MAKUSHITA 7 EAST
Start-of-Aki TORCH Rikishi: GOSHI

DAY 02: Makushita 7 East Goshi (0-0) passes the TORCH to Makushita 6 West Tochihiryu (0-0) [3 points Pitinosato]
DAY 03: Makushita 6 West Tochihiryu (1-0) defeats Makushita 6 East Irie (1-0) [3 points Pitinosato]
DAY 06: Makushita 6 West Tochihiryu (2-0) passes the TORCH Makushita 10 East Arawashi (2-0) [1 point Pitinosato]
DAY 07: Makushita 10 East Arawashi (3-0) defeats Makushita 3 East Kimurayama (3-0)
DAY 09: Makushita 10 East Arawashi (4-0) defeats Makushita 15 West Sadanoumi (4-0)
DAY 11: Makushita 10 East Arawashi (5-0) defeats Makushita 30 East Nankairiki (5-0)
DAY 13: Makushita 10 East Arawashi (6-0) passes the TORCH to Makushita 59 West Kihonoumi (6-0)

Ms59W Kihonoumi finishes 7-0 and wins the Makushita Yusho

End-of-Aki TORCH RANK: Makushita 59 West
End-of-Aki TORCH RIKISHI: Kihonoumi

standings:
30 points - wildcard
13 points - Sukubidubidu
7 points - Pitinosato
1 point - Kintamayama
1 point - Leonishiki

good day all,
3 points are added to Pitinosato's tally thanks to a good rank pick (Ms6W) win.

standings:
30 points - wildcard
13 points - Sukubidubidu
10 points - Pitinosato
1 point - Kintamayama
1 point - Leonishiki
1 point - Terarno

Other players with rank picks who might pick up some points this final basho of TORCHBEARER 2013 are:
J11E (Kofuji-ICAN)
J11W (charliki)
J13W (shimodahito)
Ms1E (Terarno)
Ms1W (Yamasanzan)

With the low number of players scoring this year, any point will likely be enough for a winning record and banzuke promotion.

good luck,

good day all,
Last year 31 of 37 participants had points, but Simon's point is well taken. The concept was to see the TORCH rise from the bottom, so it would turn the game into something totally different..... hmmmm.
Pitinosato will be in 2nd place after the:

good day all,
The TORCH stayed away from most of your picks so we won't come close to matching last year's number of participants who picked up points. Our tally of points picked up during the TORCH 2013 journey:

30 points - wildcard
17 points - Pitinosato
13 points - Sukubidubidu
4 points - Yamasanzan
1 point - Kintamayama
1 point - Leonishiki
1 point - Terarno

And now to add the final bonus points. This year only 2 entrees collected bonus points by finishing within 10 places of the final TORCH positions (or being the closest final position to the torch).

Final TORCH RIKISHI: TOSAYUTAKA (closest pick - Hitotsuboshi)

Nishikikaze....1
Takamisato.....2
Hamaeiko.......3
Daishoiwa......4
Tokachiumi.....5
Chiyoarashi....6
Matsubayama....7
Masunosho......8
Matsumoto......9
Sasayama.......10
TOSAYUTAKA.....25 - final TORCH RIKISHI
Notozakura.....10
Hokuo..........9
Haruhikari.....8
Sasanoyama.....7
Notoazuma......6
Masakaze.......5 (10 points for closest pick: Hitotsuboshi)
Kotokuni.......4
Aiyama.........3
Tochimaru......2
Shoketsu.......1





Final TORCH RANK: MAKUSHITA 48 EAST (closest pick - Pitinosato)

Makushita 43 East...1
Makushita 43 West...2
Makushita 44 East...3
Makushita 44 West...4
Makushita 45 East...5
Makushita 45 West...6
Makushita 46 East...7
Makushita 46 West...8
Makushita 47 East...9
Makushita 47 West...10
MAKUSHITA 48 EAST...25 - final TORCH RANK
Makushita 48 West...10
Makushita 49 East...9
Makushita 49 West...8
Makushita 50 East...7
Makushita 50 West...6
Makushita 51 East...5
Makushita 51 West...4
Makushita 52 East...3
Makushita 52 West...2
Makushita 53 East...1


No one finished in the zone, but Pitinosato's Makushita 6 West was the closest to the final TORCH position ... 10 points!

With all bonus points added, our final standings:

30 points - wildcard
27 points - Pitinosato
13 points - Sukubidubidu
10 points - Hitotsuboshi
4 points - Yamasanzan
1 point - Kintamayama
1 point - Leonishiki
1 point - Terarno

Wildcard wins, but a nice chase by Pitinosato. In 2011 we had 3 hit the bullseye, last year 1 hit the bullseye, and this year none. Profomisakari still holds the record of 59 points. Based on private and public feedback for a suggested rule change, we will be keeping the same rules for TORCHBEARER 2014.

Thanks for participating and I hope you all can put a pick in for next year. You can send your TORCHBEARER 2014 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.
