Super Banzuke Masters Series

While the "original" Super Banzuke Masters Series was a popular addition to the competition for the top players, it somewhat lacked appeal to the general public. Because, while every player could aspire to one day make it to the Masters, the reality remained that only the top-10 ranked players would be invited to participate, while the competition remained meaningless for the vast majority of passionate sumo games players. At the same time, the results calculations for the SBMS, and the parallel Ladies' League Masters Series (LLMS) proved too laborious for the Super Banzuke Kyokai, which was initially the reason the SBMS and LLMS were discontinued.

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 Hatsu 2005
SB Masters Champion:

Kintamayama!

Shukun-sho:

AsaMoe

Gino-sho:

Frinkanohana

Kanto-sho:

Doitsuyama

The year started off with a BANG as sumo games legend Kintamayama breaks all records, scoring an amazing THREE Yusho, and completely dominating the Hatsu Basho 2005 SB Masters with 73.43 points, becoming the first player to ever win THREE Green Mawashi titles! This unprecedented feat is especially satisfying as he had a particularly lousy basho two months ago - what a comeback, and what a way to start his 2005 campaign for the World Championship Title! Congratulations!

All three sansho would have gone to Kintamayama as well, but since the Green Mawashi winner isn't eligible, Frinkanohana takes the Gino-sho, having scored at least 16.43 points in daily and pre-basho games. Doitsuyama wins the Kanto-sho, scoring in 7 games overall. The Shukun-sho finally goes to AsaMoe. The German was unranked last year, but arrives at the scene with a splash, winning the Hoshitori Yusho, and earning several other good results, including Rookie of the Basho in Sekitori-Toto. Congratulations to all winners!
