With the help of Gusoyama, the Superbanzuke pages were updated. There are still some graphical glitches, but you can see all relevant results already, so check them out!
Here (http://www.strongoak.net/sb) is the entry point into the 19 Superbanzuke games. You can use this page to check back for making picks, checking for the current standings, or checking for the new banzuke.
The Kyushu Superbanzuke (http://www.strongaok.net/sb/current.html) is now available. Choshu-yuki has her sanyaku debut. Congratulations also to Ganzohnesushi and Terarno for becoming shin-Makuuchi. Ganzohnesushi's M9 rank is the highest entry for a former Juryo since Natsu 2003 when Ulsimitsuki moved from J3 to M6. Gaming veteran Obana managed a re-promotion to Makuuchi. In Makuuchi, Dimitri (M5), Meyeryu (M12), Fatakiyama (M13), and Kotononami (M14) achieved a new career high.
In Juryo, Ryuu (J2) and Mmikasazuma (J3) are on a new career high, as are shin-Juryo Daishouyama (J6) and Kitano (J12).
The Kyushu Basho Masters Series (http://www.strongoak.net/sb/sbmsnew.html) were won by Susanoo. He is now receiving his fourth career Green Mawashi, thereby tying the record number of yusho by Doitsuyama. In a relatively low-scoring basho, Susanoo won the jun-yusho in both Guess the Banzuke and Upside Down Hoshitori.
The sansho all went to first-timers in the upper echelons of Superbanzuke awards. Shiyonofuji gets the shukun-sho for finishing as runner-up this basho, and grabbing the Ozumo Bingo Game yusho along the way. Talented rookie Kyokuhagyo gets the gino-sho for great scores in both daily games (yusho in Quadrumvirate) and pre-basho games (jun-yusho in Oracle) And Gonzaburow rounds out the sansho with no less than six top 10-positions this basho.
In addition, a number of players set new records for yushos won in a particular game: Choshu-yuki is the first player to win three yusho in Hoshitori Game. Kintaro now leads for GISP with five overall yusho. Fujisan is the first player to achieve four career yusho in RotoSumo. And Heruwejima sets a record with his third yusho in Salarycap Sumo.
In 2008 Norizo won his second World Championship (http://www.strongoak.net/sb/2008sbsgwc.html) title after 2006. He easily dominated the gaming scene, and completed his sweep by winning in all sansho categories as well. During the year, he won four yusho, an accomplishment that was only matched by Ulsimitsuki. This was his second shukun-sho after 2006. Moreover, Norizo had the best balance between daily games and pre-basho games, therefore winning his third gino-sho after 2004 and 2007. Finally, he tied the 2005 kanto-sho record of Doitsuyama by finishing among the top 10 for 33 times in six basho.
Norizo also is awarded the honors of best player in daily games throughout the year. The only category where the Superbanzuke Yokozuna was not victorious, was in pre-basho games where he finished just short of his wife, Choshu-yuki.
In the individual games championships, there were many first timers winning: Chabonowaka (Bench Sumo), Konizan (Chaingang), Ketsukai (Fantasy Sumo), Meyeryu (GTB), Bogdanyama (ISP), Zenjimoto (Juryo Game), Maiyo (Paper Oyakata), Ulsimitsuki (Oracle), Benten (GISP), Kyokuhagyo (Quadrumvirate), Sumio (Sumo Game), Golynohana (Toto), Jakusotsu (UDH), Asashosakari (Salarycap Sumo), and Ganzohnesushi (Ozumo Bingo). Choshu-yuki won her 5th games championship with a record performance in Hoshitori Game. Fujisan followed his title in Ozumo Bingo Game 2006 with a title in RotoSumo 2008. Doitsuyama received his 5th overall game title. After his championship in Tippspiel he becomes the second player to win a games title twice (he already won the Tippspiel World Championship in 2006). In spite of his dominating performance, Norizo won only one games title this year (in Norizo Cup), thereby collecting a record 8th individual gaming title.
