Sumo game- Guess the Banzuke, folks..

[Moti Dichne]

It is customary for me to invite Ozumo fans to play the GTB (Guess the Banzuke") game after a basho has ended. Who am i to break this custom? So this is a formal invitation to play the "Guess the Banzuke" game. 27 years, 170 bashos or so. Please play. It's free, for now. .

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 just for demanding to see the manager..  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 earliest entry wins. If still tied, I will 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. Please, please check the entry list to see if you are on it. No late entries will be expected or accepted. Those are the rules, and the rules will never be changed.
