TORCHBEARER 2016

Beitrag von shimodahito »

good day all,
The 2015 prize is on the way to Jejima.
So it's time for the once-a-year invite to the easiest picking (guessing) sumo game ever. No need for daily picks, no need for pre-basho picks; just a pair of picks will last a whole year!

Here's how it works.
The symbolic TORCH starts with the last rikishi and last rank on the 2016 HATSU BANZUKE (rikishi/rank at the bottom of jonokuchi). If the rikishi wins his bout (called a TORCH MATCH), he keeps the TORCH. If he loses, the TORCH is passed to the winner. Through the year, the TORCH will eventually make way up the banzuke as it is always passed to the winner. The object of the game is to pick the one rank and one rikishi you think will end up with the most points throughout the year's six bashos. Points are awarded to every rikishi and rank involved in a TORCH MATCH; and to players who finish closest to the final TORCH position at the end of the year.

FINAL TORCH POINTS AT THE END OF THE 2016 KYUSHU BASHO:
25 points if you picked the final TORCH holding rikishi.
25 points if you picked the final TORCH holding rank.
PLUS...
10 points to the player(s) closest to the final TORCH holding rikishi.
10 points to the player(s) closest to the final TORCH holding rank.
9 points to the 2nd closest picks.
8 points to the 3rd closest picks.
7 points to the 4th closest picks.
6 points to the 5th closest picks.
5 points to the 6th closest picks.
4 points to the 7th closest picks.
3 points to the 8th closest picks.
2 points to the 9th closest picks.
1 point to the 10th closest picks.
(so if my math is correct, a minimum of 110 points (55 rank/55 rikishi) are guaranteed to be handed out at the end of the year)

TORCH MATCH POINTS 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 match your chosen rank loses.

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For historical reference, here's where the torch ended up in previous years: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)
2012, J2e (highest position J1e)
2013, Ms48e (highest position Ms4e)
2014, Ms49e (highest position Ms3e)
2015, J6w (highest position J1w)

Highest number of points: 59 by Profomisakari in 2009.

To play, please submit:
1) the rikishi you think will get the most points between now and the end of the 2015 Kyushu Basho.
and
2) the rank you think will get the most points between now and the end of the 2015 Kyushu Basho.

The deadline for entries is one minute before the first TORCH MATCH starts... JST. Send new entries or updated entries to shimodahito(at)yahoo.com, by message on tipspiel, or post on this sonstige Spiele thread. For 2015 players who miss the deadline, your 2015 picks will carry over to TORCHBEARER 2016 (as long as your rikishi pick is still active).

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

Good luck! The game is painless...one rank pick, one rikishi pick... no daily picks needed…. And a prize.

good day,
Two players take a chance on guessing a Jonokuchi ranked rikishi to get some TORCH points early. This has proved successful and unsuccessful in previous years for players; but has never provided enough points to win at the end of the year. 2016 could be different.

Here is a recap of the TORCH journey during the Hatsu basho:
start-of-TORCH 2016 rank: JONOKUCHI 23 EAST
start-of-TORCH 2016 rikishi: NODAGASHIRA

DAY 1: Jonokuchi 23 East Nodagashira (0-0) defeated Jonokuchi 22 West Hattorizakura (0-0).
DAY 3: Jonokuchi 23 East Nodagashira (1-0) passed the TORCH to Jonokuchi 21 West Bandaisan (1-0).
DAY 5: Jonokuchi 21 West Bandaisan (2-0) passed the TORCH to Jonokuchi 20 East Kotokamatani (2-0) [3 points kuroimuri & Naganoyama]
DAY 7: Jonokuchi 20 East Kotokamatani (3-0) defeated Jonokuchi 14 West Takenoumi (3-0) [3 points - kuroimuri & Naganoyama]
DAY 10: Jonokuchi 20 East Kotokamatani (4-0) defeated Jonokuchi 5 West Tomiyama (3-1) [3 points - kuroimuri & Naganoyama]
DAY 12: Jonokuchi 20 East Kotokamatani (5-0) defeated Jonokuchi 8 East Hitomi (4-1) [3 points - kuroimuri & Naganoyama]
DAY 13: Jonokuchi 20 East Kotokamatani (6-0) defeated Jonidan 97 West Hayate (5-1) [3 points - kuroimuri & Naganoyama]

end-of-Hatsu rank: JONOKUCHI 20 EAST
end-of-Hatsu rikishi: KOTOKAMATANI

standings:
15 points - kuroimori
15 points - Naganoyama

With co-leaders at 24 points, it will take more than just ending the year with a TORCH pick to defeat them. This is the first time in TORCHBEARER history there has been such a quick start. Usually the gamble to pick a jonokuchi rikishi does not produce points.

Good day all,
Only time will tell if the risky Jonokuchi picking will pay off for our co-leaders. There is plenty of time for anyone to win the prize. I never did establish tie-breaker rules because all point leaders at the end of the year would get a prize. However, for the purpose of having a "yusho" winner, perhaps playoff, tie-breaker rules are a good suggestion. I will ponder some options for tie-breaker rules over the break.

In the meantime, here is a recap of the TORCH journey during the Haru basho:
start-of-Haru TORCH rank: JONIDAN 10 EAST
start-of-Haru TORCH rikishi: KOTOKAMATANI

DAY 2: Jonidan 10 East Kotokamatani (0-0) defeated Jonidan 10 West Toseima (0-0) [3 points kuroimuri & Naganoyama].
DAY 4: Jonidan 10 East Kotokamatani (1-0) defeated Jonidan 9 East Hasugeyama (1-0) [3 points kuroimuri & Naganoyama].
DAY 6: Jonidan 10 East Kotokamatani (2-0) defeated Jonidan 12 West Mibu (2-0) [3 points kuroimuri & Naganoyama].
DAY 8: Jonidan 10 East Kotokamatani (3-0) defeated Jonidan 13 East Hokuyozan (3-0) [3 points kuroimuri & Naganoyama].
DAY 9: Jonidan 10 East Kotokamatani (4-0) passes the TORCH to Jonidan 8 West Yamatoarashi (4-0) [1 point kuroimuri & Naganoyama].
DAY 11: Jonidan 8 West Yamatoarashi (5-0) passes the TORCH to Jonidan 44 East Kotodaigo (5-0).
DAY 13: Jonidan 44 East Kotodaigo (6-0) defeated Jonidan 61 East Masunoyama (6-0).

end-of-Haru rank: JONIDAN 44 EAST
end-of-Haru rikishi: KOTODAIGO

standings:
28 points - kuroimori
28 points - Naganoyama

good day all,
This was a rare carry-through basho as the TORCH ended where it started. Our co-leaders' rikishi pick, Kotokamatani, had a good ride and was set to play in a TORCH match on Day 9 but the same-heya rule forced the line up to be shuffled. I think most TORCH players don't think the co-leaders need any more points.

Here's a recap of the TORCH journey through Natsu.

DAY 2: Sandanme 44 West Kotodaigo (0-0) defeated Sandanme 44 East Asanojo (0-0)
DAY 4: Sandanme 44 West Kotodaigo (1-0) defeated Sandanme 45 East Hamaminato (1-0)
DAY 5: Sandanme 44 West Kotodaigo (2-0) defeated Sandanme 48 West Shoei (2-0)
DAY 8: Sandanme 44 West Kotodaigo (3-0) defeated Sandanme 40 West Kainishiki (3-0)
DAY 9: Sandanme 44 West Kotodaigo (4-0) defeated Sandanme 57 West Hamayutaka (4-0)
DAY 11: Sandanme 44 West Kotodaigo (5-0) defeated Sandanme 26 East Sasayama (5-0)
DAY 13: Sandanme 44 West Kotodaigo (6-0) defeated Sandanme 66 East Ishibashi (6-0)

end-of-Natsu rank: SANDANME 44 WEST
end-of-Natsu rikishi: KOTODAIGO

standings:
28 points - kuroimori
28 points - Naganoyama
67 players with 0 points.

good day all,
kuroimori takes sole lead, but won't get another chance for points this basho with his rank pick unless there is a playoff.
Kofuji is in today's TORCH MATCH. He made his entry before he passed away, and we agreed his participation would continue as long as his adopted rikishis remained active ~ and for every point earned, a donation is made to ICAN (International Cancer Advocacy Network).

Good day all,
Here is the TORCH summary for Aki:

start-of-Aki rikishi: RYUSEI
start-of-Aki rank: MAKUSHITA 4 EAST

DAY 1: Makushita 4 East Ryusei (0-0) passes the TORCH to Makushita 3 West Sakamoto (0-0) [3 points Kintamayama & ronnie; 1 point kuroimori]
DAY 3: Makushita 3 West Sakamoto (1-0) passes the TORCH to Makushita 2 West Ryuden (1-0) [3 points Kofuji-ICAN & Umigame; 1 point Kintamayama & ronnie]
DAY 4: Makushita 2 West Ryuden (2-0) defeats Juryo 13 East Kyokutaisei (1-2) [3 points Kofuji-ICAN & Umigame; 1 point; 1 point Achiyama & Profomisakari & Terarno]
DAY 7: Makushita 2 West Ryuden (3-0) passes the TORCH to Makushita 2 East Yamaguchi (3-0) [1 point Kofuji-ICAN & Umigame]
DAY 9: Makushita 2 East Yamaguchi (4-0) defeats Makushita 11 East Shiba (4-0) [1 point Haidouzo & Toratorii & Taiga]
DAY 11: Makushita 2 East Yamaguchi (5-0) defeats Makushita 29 West Shosei (5-0)
DAY 13: Makushita 2 East Yamaguchi (6-0) defeats Makushita 41 East Tamaki (6-0) {a great match}

end-of-Aki rikishi: YAMAGUCHI
end-of-Aki rank: MAKUSHITA 2 EAST

standings:
29 points – kuroimori
28 points – Naganoyama
8 points – Haidouzo
8 points – Toratorii
7 points - Kofuji-ICAN
7 points – Umigame
4 points - Kintamayama
4 points – Ronnie
1 point – Achiyama
1 point – Profomisakari
1 point - Taiga
1 point - Terarno

Had Tamaki, at Ms41E, won on Day 13, the TORCH would certainly have remained in the Makushita ranks for Kyushu.  But I suspect Yamaguchi finished with a strong enough record to promote the TORCH to Juryo when the Kyushu banzuke is released.  This means opportunities for TORCH MATCH points daily!

 (26 participants with zero points)

 Congratulations to Profomisakari, who won in 2009 with a record 59 points.  Also, this is the third year (2011 & 2015) with 3 players hitting the 25 TORCH point bullseye (2012 had one bullseye).  Incidently, if Juryo 3 East Tokushoryu would have won the final TORCH MATCH, the top 3 would have been Sukubidubidu, Naganoyama, & kuroimori.  Shin-deshis kotoshikona, Naganoyama, and Unkonoyama made strong debuts. 

Thanks for participating and I hope you all can update your pick or, if a new player, submit a pick for next year. You can send your TORCHBEARER 2017 picks to me now, or wait until the Hatsu banzuke is released.  An invite (with rules for new players) will be out soon.  Pick one rank and one rikishi where you think the TORCH will be at the end of the year.  This sumo game has a prize.  New players are always welcome.

Again, thanks.

 -shimodahito
