RE: [sumo] [Sumo games] Salarycap Sumo Invite

["Bryant Garrigus" <bgarrigus@hotmail.com>]

The entry form for Salarycap Sumo is now available! For newcomers who have 
never heard of the game before, every player gets a fictional 1000 yen to 
"buy" a team of up to 10 rikishi. The rikishi values are based on their 
performance of the last 6 bashos, wins, losses, special awards, and yusho or 
jun-yusho awards. Because of this, if you want to buy someone who is 
performing well, you might have to pay a lot for them. This basho, for 
instance, Asashoryu is 458 yen, almost half of a team budget!

Hakuho stays steady at second most expensive, but is lower this basho at 278 
yen.  He is the only rikishi other than Asa over 200, as the next expensive 
is Kotomitsuki, who has put together two good basho, and is at 198.  The 
average cost of a rikishi is 134 yen this basho, so there aren't too many 
bargains, though Tamaasuka is a measly 47 yen, and should be showing up in 
many lineups as "filler".

Many people have asked me what a rikishi with three 8-7 records and three 
7-8 records would cost.  The answer to that is 120 yen.

The game is where it always has been, at http://www.strongoak.net/salarysumo
