...they based the saddlecloth numbers off of last tournament's performance?
i.e.
Urushihara would get #100 Kanno would get #99 Enchi/Okuyama would get #97/98 Sato would get #96 David would get around 95 Nagano/Levi would get around 90

I said yes because there wouldn't be much of a shakeup in the order. Kanno would get pushed further up but most of the other Stage 1 completions from 22 were in the 80's. The comedians stay in the beginning, and the way Akiyama and Yamamoto perform, they'd still be right were they are. I think Yamada would see a giant drop though.

I like the idea on based on their previous tornament for 3 main reasons 1 the newcomers e.g Yuuji would be very high:) 2 Yamada would be low 3 Nagano will not always be 100

Bad for ratings.

No this is what i would do first the peoples numbers should be added by how far they get steps 0 hammer 10 log grip 20 jumping spider 30 halfpipe 50 wall 60 slider jump 70 rope ladder 80 stage 2 90 stage 3 100 final stage automaticly become 99 or 100 and then divide it by 2.
that would work for most of the competitors but not kanno

The last 11 would be: 100 - Urushihara 99 - Kanno 98 - Okuyama 97 - Lee Enchi 96 - Sato 95 - Terukazu 94 - Miyazaki 93 - David Campbell 92 - Ryo Shirai (Most of you don't even know who he is) 91 - Kongu 90 - Hashimoto Koji
I don't like that because you would see wild flucuations in numbers. Plus, where do you put newcomers? In the beginning? What about if an Olympian came or a great past competitor like Kane or Shunsuke? They would have to get a really low number because they weren't there in 22.

I don't like it either. And right now, I don't think the show's producers want Nagano to be lower than 100. Nagano himself might, but not the producers.

I like it because it does shake up the order. And quite frankly.. the way TBS has been editing the broadcast (ala G4) anything can be moved around for the sake of TV.

Here's my "yes, but":
Yes, but you only do it up to a certain benchmark e.g. clearing Stage 1. This way, you can put the heavy hitters at the end of the lineup like you want while giving the "respect" to those who did well in the last competition.
This tournament would actually have an interesting story dynamic if that were implemented. With the "shameful" performance brought on by all the big names in March, you can justify a "demotion" to the low 90's and set up a big Old vs. New story. Can the former champ and his posse still run near the top or are the new stars going to pass them by?

Not really. Number is mostly about hype, not anything concrete, and in the end it doesn't really matter. The current method (if you can call it that) is fine.

None of this matters because TBS will edit in their own special way as they have for many years now. The only thing is they are getting worse each time around.

I thought TBS does show people in numerical order. It's G4 that moves them around.

They really made a mess of it and I gave up trying to figure out the order half way through. Oh it's not so bad, TBS only switched things around badly during the first half of stage 1. G4 compensates by doing this on every stage of the show and makes whoever does the best go last.

Sasuke 22 was all OVER the place. We had people in the 70's shown before Shingo was 31.. then between the Audrey guy (30) and Shingo (31) you had like.. 15 people? I lost track. What's more is that they cut 20 people (50-68 or so) as if they didn't even exist. Then they had gone back some into the 40's then back to the 90's.. LOL It was like someone from G4 was editing Sasuke.. it was quite jarring.

Wasn't 22 the first with the other guy in charge? Perhaps a new top man means a change in style not just in the course but in the style of broadcast.

So far the feel wasn't that different and they didn't change the major elements so it wasn't such a shock.. it was more of the actual broadcast (specifically the order) that was jarring in terms of change.

Well, I doubt they'd shake things up radically the first time out. But with an increase in ratings, who knows what they'll try next?
The order has never truly been in order so it's not that big a deal during the broadcast but it is a headache when trying to compile data for later.
