Sumo game- Guess the Banzuke

[Moti Dichne]

It's that time of the year again. Time to play a fantasy sumo game. It's called  GTB, or "Guess the Banzuke". .

This is a formal invitation to play the "Guess the Banzuke" game. 27 years, 165 bashos or so. Please play. It's a free for all, 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 for thinking Oonosato isn't "good" enough. 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, the player who has owned a Kotoshouhou tegata/towel for at least a year, wins.. 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.
