[sumo] Sumo Data

[Stewart Nelson]

Hi all,

I just took a look at the file and noticed a couple of bugs:

1. Results for last completed basho (if rikishi still active) appear as 0-0.

2. Basho numbers 100 and higher appear before those with two digits,
   because of simple-minded lexical sort.

I'm traveling and don't have time to correct these now, but hope to fix
them within the next week.  Please let me know if you notice any other
problems.

Yes, it does.  It is just in a different file - rankwins.dat:
http://www.scgroup.com/sumo/rankwins.dat Take a read at:
http://www.scgroup.com/sumo/format.html to see the various files/data on the
site.  And you will read:

===========
The first line of rankwins.dat is:

Akebono:30:NY:12:3

Fields:

1. Shikona

2. Basho number (as above)

3. Rank in this basho, e.g. NY = nishi yokozuna, HS2 = higashi
   sekiwake (second row), NM12 = nishi maegashira 12.

4. Number of wins (except ketteisen).

5. Number of losses (except ketteisen).
============

Enjoy,
