In Sumo Game, WM4 Huumi wins his first Makunouchi yusho as well as picking up the Ginosho and Kantosho special prizes. In Juryo, WJ1 Gonzaburrow won the head to head match with WJ5 Osutoriajin in a close match to win the yusho and will return to the Makunouchi division for the Hatsu basho. In Makushita, Mishashimaru won the yusho in five way playoff due to superior point totals in dramatic come from behind victory. | | Congratulations to all the winners!

Kyushu Basho 2008 - Day 14
| |
Going in the final day of the final tournament of the year and all three divisions are up for grabs. In Makunouchi, WM4 Huumi winner of the head-to-head match up with WM3 Tsuyoikaze on day 14, has control of his own destiny. If Huumi should pick up his twelfth on senshuraku then he will win the yusho outright. However, if Huumi should lose, then a trio of wrestlers, Komusubi Golynohana, Tsuyoikaze and WM12 Pandaazuma could carry the title chase into a playoff, should any of them prove to be victorious. In terms of total points, the first level of tie break, both Huumi and Golynohana have identical numbers at 102 while Tsuyoikaze with his 98 points and Pandaazuma with 97 have the most ground to make up on the final day. | | In Juryo, the scenario is very simple: winner of the head-to-head match up between co-leaders WJ1 Gonzaburrow and WJ5 Osutoriajin walks away with the yusho. | | In Makushita, as many as five players have a shot at the yusho. First off, we have three co-leaders with Wm15 Vikanohara, Wm37 Koriazuma and Wm38 Konomishinju who have been fighting it out for several days now. If any of them should win while the other two lose, then the winner will take the yusho. However, if two or more are victorious then a play-off would take place. For Konomishinju with 85 points, a play-off would end his chances for the yusho since he is already more than 10 points behind Vikanohara who has 98 points and Koriazuma with 99. If all three competitors should lose on senshuraku then Wm35 Mishashimaru and Em55 Kyokuhagyo would join the playoff since Kyokuhagyo's opponent on the final day is Vikanohara and Mishashimaru's opponent is Koriazuma. A four way playoff would be tight since Mishashimaru has 103 points and Kyokuhagyo has 102 points and both stand a good chance for a come from behind yusho win. | | Good luck to all!

Kyushu Basho 2008 - Day 13
| |
Going into the final weekend of the Kyushu Basho 2008 the number of yusho candidates for all three of the divisions have been reduced to a handful of candidates. In Makuuchi long time leader WM3 Tsuyoikaze has fallen into bad times as of late. A loss by Tsuyoikaze on day 13 has allowed WM4 Huumi to catch him in the leader board with identical 10-3 records. Day 14, however, will pit the co-leaders together in a head-to-head match with definite yusho implications. Statistically still alive are Komusubi Golynohana, WM5 Kitakachiyama and WM12 Pandaazuma at 9-3. A side note going into day 14 is that of former Ozeki Yumezukuri. As mentioned earlier, the recently demoted Yumezukuri can regain his Ozeki rank by finishing the tournament in double digits. After getting off to a dreadful 2-4 start, Yumezukuri has rallied the second week to improve to 8-5 and now a pair of wins on the final two days will allow his return to Sumo Game's second highest rank. | | In Juryo, WJ1 Gonzaburrow, at 11-2, continues to be the man to beat in the remaining weekend. One match down is WJ5 Osutoriajin while WJ2 Sokkenaiyama who is two losses off the pace is still clinging to an outside shot at the yusho. In Makushita, there was no change in the leader board as Wm15 Vikanohara, Wm37 Koriazuma and Em38 Konomishinju were all victorious on day 13 to improve to 11-2.

Kyushu Basho 2008 - Day 12
| |
On day twelve, the Kyushu Basho took an interesting turn for the better as Ozeki candidate Ama kept his promotion dreams alive with an upset win over the Hakuho. At the beginning of the tournament the sumo association had commented that Ama would most likely need 12 wins to get a bump up to the sports second highest rank but a couple of early losses against Kisnosato and Goeido but his chances in serious jeopardy. However, Ama rallied from the slow start to put together an eight match winning streak that culminated on day 12 against Hakuho, to grab a share of the lead going into the final three days of the tournament. Ama is a cool customer and can usually keep his emotions at bay so perhaps we can see a fifth Ozeki on the banzuke at the start of 2009. | | In Makunouchi action, WM3 Tsuyoikaze continues to set the pace by picking double digits in wins on day 12. One match down are WM4 Huumi and WM12 Pandaazuma at 9-3. In Juryo, leader WJ1 Gonzaburrow got a bump up the torikumi to face off against Maegashira regular WM15 Yuko and was victorious to improve to 10-2. One loss down is WJ5 Osutoriajin at 9-3. In Makushita the seven way tie for the lead was reduced to three as Wm15 Vikanohara, Wm37 Koriazuma and Wm38 Konomishinju all picked up their 10th win of the Kyushu Basho.
