Sumo games- Invitation to "Guess the Banzuke"
Moti Dichne
It is customary for me to invite Ozumo fans to play the GTB (Guess the Baznuke" game after a basho has ended. It is also customary for me to make many spelling errors, as I did with the word "Banzuke" a few words back. I do eventually find and correct said mistakes, though.. 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 everyone except for "Knights Who Say Ni"..
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 lower the dohyo.. 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 toss my credit card, as coins have been hard to come by lately. 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. Unless they will.
