Hi everybody! I am due to be leaving for Manchester airport (temperature currently around -2 C) in about an hour's time, to fly back to Hong Kong, where it...
... On the way to the UK, the hand-held detector (yes I did ask specially for it to be done) at Hong Kong needed a lot of persuasion to beep at my new Titanium...
Hello all, I was just wondering whether there has been any presidence for any one in bench sumo requesting a temporary maternity leave? Perhaps for about 3-4 ...

Hi! There is no precedent for maternity leave.... and I am afraid that it would not be granted. As you were KOSHO last basho, my suggestion would be to enter...
Hi everyone! I am now (safely) back in Hong Kong. There are less than 24 hours left to enter before the deadline - so if you plan to play, enter quickly! If...
Surely the baby can watch Sumo... mine certainly will (probably until the wife decides otherwise). But I'm not a mother either... -nomadwolf ... [Non-text...
Just 12 hours to go - and some players (including some veteran players) are leaving it to the very last moments to enter! All the best, Jejima Charliki...
Hi everyone, We will be returning the Makushita Division to its original 30 players (I.e. ms1E - ms15W) for the March 2009 banzuke. This restructuring is to...
Hi everyone, and welcome to the first basho of 2009! Here are the Jonidaners. We have 4 new / returning 'human' players, and the 'drone' (Derufidurono) will...
Onto Sandanme! Special mention to Nomadwolf - congratulations on your new baby! - and to my little sister, Kamejima - who (despite being within her final month...
**Remember - Makushita will be reduced to 15 ranks for March 2009** Regular Makushita Torikumi maker Jakusotsu will be heading to Japan for the second week of...
So onto Juryo, where we have a few shin-sekitori. There are 26 active players (so nearly a full house). Oshirokita will be your usual torikumi maker. There...
Finally, the Makunouchi Division.... It is with sadness that we note that the Yokozuna Ekigozan is no longer atop of the banzuke - but we are pleased to...
Hi everyone, Following the drone rules (find at www.benchsumo.net in the rules section), Derufidurono will be fighting with the below line-up. This will not...
Hey Jezz. I looked at my line-up for the basho and was surprised to find Kotooshu in it, instead of Ama. I distinctly remember picking Ama, and not Kotooshu. I...
Hi! You can change your initial line-up yourself up to 2 pm (Japan time) on Sunday - just go to usual Basho entry page, and reenter your desired line-up. I'm...
Sorry everyone, I did not realise (as Sokkenaiyama probably did not either), that I was replying to the whole list. I'm blaming it on the jet-lag ;-) Jejima...
Welcome to Shonichi of the first basho of 2009! There are a lot of bouts today where both opponents are either 3 to the power of 0 (1-1), 3 to the power of 1...
A very warm ‘Welcome’ to all Jonidan Rikishi. Once again I will be your Torikumi maker for this Basho. We have 3 new players plus one returnee and I expect...
Here are the day 2 bouts. In the first half, two former Ozekis will meet for the 18th time. Chijanofuji is currently dominating Flohru. Bout 59 - Taka (M16E)...
At long last you can now decide how you want to henka in Bench Sumo. The default behaviour was to henka any rikishi who didn't show up for his bout to the end...
Hi Juryo Division, Oshirokita here with the torikumi for Day One. As there is an even number of Juryo entrants there is no need to have interdivisional bouts...
Hello, this is Harinezumi and I'll be your torikumi maker for Hatsubasho in Bench Sumo. This basho we have an odd number so there will be regular visitors...
Here is Harinezumi again, this time with the Day 2 Makushita Torikumi. I forgot to mention yesterday that Krokonowaka was the visitor from Sandanme for Day 1....
Greetings, Sandanmenandwomen! Welcome to 2009 and a new Bench basho! Life begins anew! Welcome to all members of Sandanme, Bench's best division! But where is...
