Thanks for using sumostats! Another great basho! I was traveling at the start of the basho and the code was set to only update day 1 results for a few days. Sorry about that!

I have some time this month (my Japan trip was cancelled), so I'll be working on improving features for the next basho! Some have been left in a half-finished state, so I will be working on finishing those.

It's already been about a year since sumostats went live. I thought it would be an easy project since it would just be a clone of sumodb and basically run itself. But, of course, things are never so simple. Deciding to maintain my own database and trying to keep it up to date with shikona/heya changes, retirements, last-minute banzuke additions, and other general mistakes, it became almost like a job. I appreciate the people who maintain sumodb a whole lot more now.

This year I want to increase the collection of sumo bout videos on the site and self host them. I currently edited about 10 out of ~163 daily bouts so about 150 of the 2322 matches. But this isn’t even 10% and it still takes a lot of time by myself. So I have been working on automating this so it can cut/edit each match without me. It is hard to find good quality video sources because NHK is extremely strict with their copyright stuff. Thanks to Kraz for helping me find some sources. I will explain this a little more in a patreon post at a later date.

I still want to make this a good resource and keep improving it!
