Sumo Game: News

Bill and Boloyaki were brought up the banzuke and both lost today, allowing Barusho and former Ozeki Yamashiro into a share of the lead with nine wins.

Chishafuwaku, Unkonoyama and Joaozan lead Juryo with 8 wins. Ketsukai is now the sole leader of Makushita with a 10-2 record.

Special shout out to new player Kitasei for a wonderful ten-pointer on a tricky day!

Kyushu Basho 2025 - Day 10

As he did with many players, Onosato really ruined leader Boloyakai's day with his loss. He is joined on 8 wins by Bill, who, funnily enough, was losing until Yoshinofuji saved him. A group of seven that includes Sekiwake Trender are one win behind.

Yesterday's leaders in Juryo lost and now it's a free-for all at the top with five leaders and six chasers. Asapedroryu marches on in Makushita and is on his lonesome with 9 wins.

The three Yokozuna have not exactly covered themselves in glory. Yumezukuri is the only one at parity. Pandaazuma is 4-6 and Kakushoyamaii is 3-7. They'll need to improve significantly to get the bare minimum 8 wins.

Kyushu Basho 2025 - Day 9

Boloyaki makes an early bid for his second yusho by taking the sole lead. He is also the first player to secure a winning record. Barusho, Susanoo and Bill are one win behind.

Surawatari and Joaozan lead Juryo with seven wins. And in a very rare development, we have a sole leader in Makushita on day nine who is not unbeaten. Asapedroryu is hoping he can keep winning as there is a very large group waiting for a slip-up.

Kyushu Basho 2025 - Day 6

Boloyaki took down veteran Norizo to emerge as the sole leader on day 6. Five hopefuls are on his tail.

Surawatari is the only remaining unbeaten player in Juryo. Terarno, Asapedroryu and Owll stay perfect in Makushita.

Kyushu Basho 2025 - Day 4

Again we saw a lot of score variance. Some lovely ten-pointers, including one from Yokozuna Kakushoyamaii, who is back to parity after a rough start.

Bill and Boloyaki are our early leaders. They have successfully navigated a very tricky opening.

Surawatari is the only unbeaten player left in Juryo. And ten hopefuls sit atop the Makushita megaheap.

Kyushu Basho 2025 - Day 2

Welcome to the final tournament of the year. It's off to a wild start with some low average scoring already.

Sekiwake Trender is unbeaten coming off his yusho in September so will be hoping to make a case for ozeki promotion either this time or in January. Komusubi Andoreasu joins him atop the early leader board.

Good luck to all the players!

Aki Basho 2025 - Day 15

No tie-breaks required today as Trender had a stroll to take a 12th win and an impressive fifth Makuuchi yusho. All his pursuers lost.

The death match in Juryo was superb and Shironami cleverly left out Onosato to win 9-8. This led to the second tie-break rule - result of their head-to-head match during the tournament. So we have our answer - Juryo yusho to Shironami. He has been around since 2020 and these are his first honours. Well done!

In Makushita Sanmyaku lost a tie and allowed Tetsuyama and Okinanekoumi into the hunt. Okinanekoumi has the superior score and therefore wins the tie. It's his first yusho in only his fourth tournament.

Congratulations to all the winners. See you all back here in November.

Aki Basho 2025 - Day 14

Trender had a lucky win to retain his lead but he'll have to be careful tomorrow because if he loses Yokozuna Kakushoyamaii and Kazutoyama, who have superior scoring, could leapfrog him. Saruwataritwo is also only one point behind.

Exciting in Juryo as leader Mananoyama meets pursuer Shironami in a death match. Shironami needs to win by one clear point tomorrow to have a chance.

Sanmyaku took the sole lead again in Makushita. His only serious rival is Okinanekoumi, who has the same score. A loss for the leader could make this very tight.

Good luck to all the contenders.

Aki Basho 2025 - Day 13

Of yesterday's four leaders only Trender came out victorious. Five players are one win behind, including Yokozuna Kakushoyamaii.

Mananoyama leads Juryo with an impressive 11 wins, one more than pursuer Shironami. They have not met head-to-head yet this tournament so a final-day death match may well be on the cards.

Tetsuyama and Sanmyaku now lead Makushita, both with 11 wins. Five hopefuls are one win behind.

by Pandaazuma, 2025/9/26

Aki Basho 2025 - Day 11

The two leaders Trender and Kazutoyama both won to lead 9-2. Hakumadashi and Kishikaisei are just off the pace.

Mananoyama is now the sole leader of Juryo with nine wins. And Makushita's Sanmakyu has emerged as the only 10-1 player left in the game.

by Pandaazuma, 2025/9/25

Aki Basho 2025 - Day 9

Hakumadashi lost and fell into a leading group of four that includes Yokozuna Kakushoyamaii.All leaders will be hoping for an early winning record today.

Shironami also lost in Juryo and now shares the lead with Mananoyama. Okinanekoumi, Sanmyaku and Hagetaka lead Makushita with 8-1 records.

by Pandaazuma, 2025/9/23

Aki Basho 2025 - Day 8

We're at the mid-point and Hakumadashi still retains the sole lead. Yokozuna Kakushoyamaii is on his tail along with Trender and Kazutoyama.

Shironami leads Juryo with seven wins. Mananoyama is a lone pursuer. And six hopefuls lead Makushita, including newcomers Sanmyaku and Hagetaka.

by Pandaazuma, 2025/9/22

Aki Basho 2025 - Day 5

A third of the tournament is in the books and we have a sole leader in the form of debuting Makuuchi Hakumadashi. At this pace he'll be moved up to face stronger opposition quite soon. Eight players are one win off the pace, including Yokozuna Kakushoyamaii.

Similar story in Juryo as Shironami takes the sole lead. And quite surprisingly at this early stage Makushita has only three perfect players remaining: Huchimama, Eternalboogie and Okinanekoumi.

by Pandaazuma, 2025/9/18

Aki Basho 2025 - Day 2

Welcome all to the Aki tournament. We have a record 220 participating players. Thanks for taking part.

It's early days on the virtual dohyo and there is little happening in the sanyaku with regards to promotions and demotions. None of the sanyaku division are undefeated after two days so we have nine Maegashira in the lead of Makuuchi.

In Juryo there are seven undefeated; in Makushita too many to count.

Good luck to all the players!
