Can you come up with a good name ? Rating system for amasumo



I've been working heavily with a lot of help from statisticians all
over the world to develop a rating system for amateur sumo, which will
be used by the European Sumo Union to rank amateur rikishi. The
system's almost ready.

Now we're cranking our heads, trying to come up with a good name for
the system. It should follow two rules, the acronym should be easy to
pronounce and should have a good sound to it, i.e. ELO in chess. And
the name for the system should be majestic and convey a sense of
dignity that is tied to sumo.

The best thing that occured to me was:

Absolute Sumo Strength ASS

However, you can see that with the acronym it has, it's a problem.
Others were;

Sumo Absolute Strength SAS
Sumo Strength Rating SSR

Can anyone come up with a better name? I bet there's gotta be people
on the list, whose imagination is more vivid than mine in these matters.

Later,
