Sumo games: Guess the Banzuke

[Moti Dichne]

This is a formal invitation to play the "Guess the Banzuke" game!! 25 years, 153rd basho. Please play. It's pretty much free.

Game rules: Guess the Banzuke. Simple. Fully automated entry form. You get two points for a bulls-eye and one point for just getting the rank right. You get no points for believing someone is on an Ozeki run.  Tiebreakers - Most total guesses, then we check the banzuke backwards - getting the lower half right will be important.  The most correct guesses in the last ten places will win the tiebreaker. If still tied, we go up a ranking at a time like a penalty shootout. If still tied, the special committee will convene and its decisions will be binding but never revealed. Official secrets act.  If you're still trying to figure this out, don't. It's up to you to check if you are on the list of entries. It's going to be your fault if you don't notice that your entry went missing in the Internet void. No late entries will be expected or accepted. Those are the rules, and the rules will never be changed.
