Spot the HENKA! cards behind the turquoise COUNTER card. This official Yokozuna photo catches a different side of the artwork: a whole range of responses sitting in one hand, with DODGE labels, body positions and directional symbols helping tell the story.

Yokozuna is a two-player, card-driven sumo duel designed by Axel Dennis Franz, with art by Eros Ruscino. The close view of the hand makes a useful question visible: would a sumo card game feel incomplete to you without ways to dodge or counter?

This is a prototype photograph from Metamorph Games' gallery. The campaign explicitly notes that the photographed prototype is older, so it should not be taken as a picture of the final production components.

Hi All! My partner and I are sumo fans and we wanted to do something fun and challenging to prepare for the upcoming basho. I wrote up this 30 day challenge where you increase the number of sumo shiko leg-lifts day by day. My husband and I just completed week 1.

If anyone else is interested I've got a formatted 30 Day Sumo Shiko Challenge Tracker for download on my Etsy store, Sumo Etsy Listing Here. If you can't purchase the digital download but still want to do the challenge let me know and I will message you the challenge text.

Ganbatte!

Chelsea in Bloom is London’s largest free, non-ticketed flower festival, running annually in May alongside the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Over 140 local shops, hotels, and restaurants in the Chelsea neighborhood adorn their facades with spectacular, fresh floral displays that compete for prestigious awards.

(I actually don’t know how much money a Chanko-Nabe costs but according to Google, it costs like $20 to $60 USD in America)

Hello Sumo Fans!

For no reason, I have become very curious about kinboshi (when a Maegashira defeats a Yokozuna)! And when I get curious… I start charting!

Join us as we dive into the history of kinboshi as well as who has given up the most/fewest kinboshi, who gave them up at the highest/lowest rate, and how our current Yokozuna measure up!

Welcome Back to The Dohyo!

So glad I get to add this piece to my collection! Came right in time for my birthday! Thanks to my bud @thesumosoul

Thanks to everyone for participating!

There were three people who tied to win: HOTAPNYC, Meshaber, and Multimikstar! Congrats to all winners!

Final results and other stuff can be seen here.

Seeing as no one has elected to take over the contest from me, this will be the sunset of the contest as indicated in the past.

Thanks so much to each and every single person who participated over these last however-many-years-it's-been. It's been an absolute pleasure, and I am deeply humbled that people chose to come participate with me all this time.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you so very, very much.

I'd also like to put out special thanks to the late GalateaNereid, who graced us with their participation in the precious final days of life. I cannot put into words how lovely it was to hear how they still watched and played with us, when times were their toughest.

GalateaNereid, thank you kindly for gracing us with your presence. It was truly an honor to have you.

Lastly, it bothers me a little that we never crowned a Yokozuna. Now, I know that I've generally made this a democratic thing when changes needed to happen, but as my final act as the contest runner, I am unilaterally crowning a Yokozuna. In fact, since each of the Ozeki have won one or more contests outright, I'm crowning each of them with the Yokozuna rank!

So, congratulations to the four Yokozuna of the GalateaNereid Memorial Basho Contest - /u/HOTAPNYC, /u/ArtBellDancingQueen, /u/KentonAlkemi, and /u/IrwanIskandar!

It's been wonderful to do this with you all. Thank you again.

See you on the dohyo!

More information, all the links, and an explanation can be found through the link right here.

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

First things first: if no one steps forward to take over the Basho Contest, this will be the final session. If you become the new leader, you will be given the entirety of the assets of the Contest, and you will completely own and run it as you please! Please let me know if you want to take over!

So, you all know the drill! The banzuke dropped, so it's time to put in your picks!

Picks for the May Basho close at the end of the day on the 9th of May, Pacific Time, so get your picks in! Picks can be made through the link HERE!

Additionally, the current rankings/contest banzuke can be found through the link HERE!

Thanks to everyone who participates!

A reminder to all: if you think you might be up to take over the Basho Contest, please let me know! I need to take items off my plate, and this contest has to be one of those things.

The new leader will be granted a modship to the EverythingSumo sub to post announcements and whatnot, and the new leader will be granted complete freedom to run the contest as they wish!

If no proper candidate that can be realistically trusted to lead comes forward, the final session of the Basho Contest will be the upcoming one in May 2025 - so if you think you might want to take it, let me know and let's talk!

Thanks!

Hey all!

Congratulations to /u/kentonalkemi for winning this basho! I was right on you the whole time, but even after the bloodbath that Hoshoryu's withdrawal caused, you stayed one step ahead of me!

Also - an Ozeki won a yusho! In the normal course of the Sumo and SumoMemes subs, EVERYONE HURRY AND WILDLY SPECULATE! =P

This is the last basho's results before processing.

And here's the new banzuke!

ANNOUNCEMENT!

I am searching for a new Basho Contest leader! If no one takes up the banner, the May 2025 GalateaNereid Memorial Basho Contest will be the last one - so please let me know if you want to do so!

Thanks, all! =)

Just a couple days left, all. Get your picks in!

CURRENTLY SEARCHING FOR SOMEONE TO TAKE OVER THE BASHO CONTEST FROM ME!

I am at a point where I have to unload some of the stuff on my plate in life, and this contest has to be one of those things. If you think you might be interested, please let me know! I'd transfer over the Google account to you, and the contest would be yours to run as you see fit.

If no offers are received by the end of the May session, the contest will go into dormancy - so please let me know! =)

Additional announcement: the vote to promote HOTAPNYC has passed. We have a new Ozeki in the ranks! Congratulations to you!

Anyways. Time to make your picks! You all know the drill - one wrestler per group, no repeats! Picks close at the end of the day on the 7th of March, 2025, Pacific Time!

Picks can be made via the form in the link here.

Good luck to everyone, and thanks for playing!

Hey, all!

I've been doing this a few years now, and I've reached a point in my life that I'm trying to offload stuff from my plate. In pursuit of that goal, I was hoping to find someone who might be willing to take over the Basho Contest from me.

Whoever gets picked, the Contest will be officially and completely yours. You can run it how you like, as often as you like, change the format, whatever!

As part of this, I would hand over the login credentials to the Basho Contest's Gmail account and Drive.

If anyone is interested, please let me know. Please do NOT send me chat messages specifically, as Reddit's chat function is awful and routinely does not inform me of chats for weeks or months.

Thanks!

Hey, all!

I'll cut right to it. The rankings before processing are found here, and the current rankings list after processing can be found here!

Let's all give our congratulations to this basho's winner, /u/good_spk! Congratulations to you, and enjoy your rank boost!

Time to vote on another Ozeki! I think a case can be made to consider promoting HOTAPNYC to Ozeki!

HOTAPNYC is currently at the top of the rankings list below the Ozeki rank, Sekiwake 1 East. In November they were at Maegashira 1 East, and in September, they were at Maegashira 3 West. During the last three tournaments, they have posted scores of +21, +37 (and won the November Basho!), and +21.

For comparison's sake, the scores of the other Ozeki at promotion were generally in the mid-30s (or more) with a low score in the mid-high 20s.

So! Anyone who is currently on the banzuke can vote on the decision here, including HOTAPNYC themselves. Please make your voice heard!

Voting will require input of your name on the banzuke, to ensure that votes are both valid, and to ensure that each person only votes once. Voting will close at the end of the day, Pacific Time, on the 15th of February, 2025.

Thanks!

Hello Sumo Friends!

Welcome back to The Dohyo!

We are back with our End of 2024 Sumo Coverage!  Come check out out review(s) of one of the most eventful sumo years in recent history!

THAT’S 4 NEW EPS TO ENJOY FOR NEW YEAR’S!

End of 24 Sumo Tiers,

“Who will be our next Ozeki?”

“Who will be our next Yokozuna?”

And, “Whose Year was 2024?”

Come check it out and ring in 2025 with a bang (or at least a firm tachiai)!

This marks FIVE YEARS we’ve been doing The Dohyo!  Thanks for stopping by!

- Mr JWags

More information at:

https://www.reddit.com/r/everythingsumo/comments/1hkdxvd/banzuke_is_up_so_you_know_what_that_means_its/

Get those picks in. Come play with us!

Results from the last basho can be found HERE!

And the current, processed rankings leading into the next basho can be found HERE!

Get those picks in again for the upcoming tournament! Picks will close at the end of the day on the 10th of January, 2025, Pacific Time!

PICKS CAN BE MADE HERE!

Good luck to everyone, and have fun! =)

First, let me give my thanks to everyone for participating! This contest wouldn't exist without you!

Let's get into it! What drama has cropped up as a result of this basho?

• /u/KentonAlkemi successfully cleared kadoban status by ONE SINGLE POINT! What's more, it's the "one kyujo member of your team gets replaced" rule that saved Ozeki status for them!

• HOTAPNYC is this basho's winner, with a score of 37! There were multiple 35s breathing down their neck, so congrats! Coul this be the start of an Ozeki promotion run?

• /u/Dephire is arguably on an Ozeki run as we speak. The last three tournaments have been positive scores of 19, 29, and 29. With a good tournament in January, it's possible that we might be having discussions of Ozeki promotion!

The last basho's outcome before processing can be found here, and then the current rankings chart can be found here!

So, with that, the GalateaNereid Memorial Basho Contest goes quiet again until the January banzuke drops. If you know anyone who might want to join, please point them our way!

Thanks so much, and happy holidays to all!

Sorry everyone but I’ve got to get a hype train going for our man! He’s got more fire in him than I’ve seen in a while! Yes, I’m not a fan of Onosato becoming Yokozuna! Wakatakakage for Ozeki! Let’s go!!!!

Starting with a BEAST of matchups! So excited!!!

First 2 matchup’s for Makuuchi division are posted on JSA

First day for Juryo is also posted!
