[sumo] [GAMES] Natsu 2005 SB Masters Results & World Championship Update

["Maximilian T. H. Suchy" <max@anasuya.com>]

With the customary delay, the results for the Natsu 2005 SB Masters 
Series are finally in!

Once again the Green Mawashi goes to one of the true superstars of the 
sumo gaming world, as Super Banzuke Yokozuna and longtime number one 
player Flohru trades blows with his fellow SB Yokozuna and perennial 
rival for that number one spot, Doitsuyama, who won last basho's Green 
Mawashi, and takes the title for the second time (first time in the new 
format) with a commanding performance that included Yusho in Bench Sumo 
and Juryo Game, and Jun-Yusho in the Hoshitori Game.

Ekigozan gets the Gino-sho for best balance between daily and pre-basho 
games, with Yusho in Sumo Game, and third places in UDH and 
Sekitori-Oracle.  Doitsuyama scored points in the most games (6), and 
takes the Kanto-sho.  For the Shukun-sho, finally, the criteria was a 
little bent this time... Zenjimoto did not win any Yusho (as usual, 
sigh...), but managed Jun-Yusho in  Norizo Cup and Fantasy Sumo, as well 
as third and fourth in Hoshitori and GISP, and Jun-Yusho in this SB 
Masters... so probably not a huge stretch for a Shukun-sho, right? 
*cough, cough* :-)

Congratulations to all winners!

With his outstanding performance this basho, Flohru also takes the lead 
in the 2005 Sumo Games World Championship, where we now have BOTH Super 
Banzuke Yokozuna leading the pack, ahead of strong Ozeki Kintamayama! 
Amazing competition between the big guns so far this year!  With 
Ekigozan and Zenjimoto two more SB Ozeki are in the top-10 at this time.

My cordial thanks again to Doitsuyama, whose ingenious macros saved me 
TONS of work in generating the HTML for these pages!

ATTENTION: pictures needed for Kaihayaiha, Ogawa, Gohansazae, 
Takashoryu, Harlegawa - for the Hall of Champions!

Thanks to all players, see you in July!

Cheers!
Zenjimoto
