i'm confused. I thought Aonishiki won. Onosato was already down on his left knee before A* touched the ground.

I've started following sumo this summer after stumbling on a post from this community. I need more information about this

Yeah I think that would be a good community rule. And I appreciate you considering it. In this case the image is pretty telling, so a tag on that would have saved me. Maybe just a short timeframe during bashos where anything discussing the current day/days bouts have a tag

I discovered sumo last year halfway through the August Basho and now I'm in it. Sadly as a Canadian I've got the time difference so I keep up but can be a day or 2 behind. I also haven't found anyone to chat with except my other half so would love to see this community thrive.

    I honestly don't think this image is telling. There's a reason many fans consider the outcome controversial or at least worthy of mono-ii.

    And while I understand your perspective about not wanting spoilers, I would prefer no such rules. The communities here are small, and a no spoiler rule basically stops any specific discussion apart from in the day topics.

    And I'm not hear to tell anyone how this sub is run, only that if there are spoilers, I will have to block it, which would suck for me too. I can see why people wouldn't want them.

    And the image shows the final few milliseconds of the match, so it seems pretty spoilery to me....

    Fair enough, obviously I will follow whatever rules are in place. I just want to also offer the viewpoint that a ban on spoilers is self evident.

    When seeing it live I personally believed aonishki had won exactly because of that image, he snapped Onosato down while jumping.

    The way I formulated it in the "how to watch" post is (slightly edited):

    • if you make a POST, please make sure the image does not show the result of a match that happened the previous 1-2 days. Likewise with text.
    • if you make a COMMENT it is OK to discuss results up to the day of the post. so if the post is about day 13, please don't talk about day 15 even if it's already happened.

    We might need a moderator tho. I'll make a post on Monday asking for volunteers. You're welcome to be one!

    btw I'm glad you're here, but if you want more people to chat with, I always had fun on twitch. for example https://www.twitch.tv/midnightsumo does replays that hit Makuuchi sometime in late afternoon US/CA time.
