Super Banzuke Masters Series

Now, with some inspiration from the "Prediction King" Series evident with Japanese Sumo Games, where the top-5 Japanese games are combined into one "Super" Yusho competition each basho, the Super Banzuke Masters Series emerges again from its ashes, with a wholly different format. Henceforth, all players are eligible to compete, and every player who finishes in the top-10 of any one of the 19 Super Banzuke games scores points towards winning the coveted Green Mawashi! The points breakdown is as follows:

Yusho: 15 pts. ... Jun-Yusho: 12 pts. ... 3rd: 10 pts. ... 4th: 8 pts. ... 5th: 6 pts.
6th: 5 pts. ... 7th: 4 pts. ... 8th: 3 pts. ... 9th: 2 pts. ... 10th: 1 point.

So, each game awards a total of 66 points. If players are tied for a position, the points are equalized (i.e. if two players tie for second, they both receive 11 points, and not 12 points each, etc.) so the total number of points awarded per game is always 66. In games with divisions, only the Makuuchi competition will count towards the SBMS.

The player who wins the most points through their top-10 finishes, wins the Green Mawashi! The special prizes are determined as follows: Gino-sho is given to the player who scores best in both, daily and pre-basho games (who has the highest lower number of points in either of the two categories). The Kanto-sho goes to the player who scored top-10 finishes in the most games (regardless of points). The Shukun-sho finally goes to a player who has otherwise distinguished themselves. They must have won at least one of the individual game Yusho, and done so in either dominating fashion, or scored top-3 finishes in several games, or could be the Jun-Yusho winner of this competition. Sansho are awarded to players other than the Green Mawashi winner in order to recognize their achievements as well.

Congratulations
to the Nagoya 2004
SB Masters Champion:

Kaikitsune!

Shukun-sho:

Tosahayate

Gino-sho:

Mariohana

Kanto-sho:

Tosahayate

Despite his retirement from Bench Sumo, Kaikitsune wins the Green Mawashi for Nagoya 2004 by winning Chaingang and Sekitori-Oracle, as well as placing Runner-Up in GTB, which leaves him 2 points ahead of Japanese challenger Tosahayate (who competed as Hayatemaru in some games)! Kaikitsune's great performance this basho would have also landed him all three sansho, if the Masters winner were eligible for them! Congratulations to the enigmatic Finn!

Mariohana lost the Green Mawashi this time, but he pockets the Gino-sho, actually only 0.6 points behind dominator Kaikitsune. With his second place finish this Masters, Mariohana now looks GREAT for the World Championship race as the new leader!

Tosahayate gets the two sansho this basho: the Shukun-sho for a win and two second places, spanning the Japanese and International sumo game universes, as well as the Kanto-sho for the highest scoring player who scored in the most games (Green Mawashi winner not eligible).
Congratulations to all winners!
