This is a formal invitation to play the "Guess the Banzuke" game!! 25 years, 154th basho. Please play. It's fun and healthy
Game rules: Guess the Banzuke. Simple. You get two points for a bulls-eye and one point for just getting the rank right. You get no points for believing that wasn't a henka. 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, I will start to cry. 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. The entry process is very simple and fully automated so don't be put off by thinking this is complicated in any way. The game itself- very complicated indeed.
