Sumo games -GTB. Come on, it's fun..
Moti Dichne
Winter is coming. Time to play THE 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, 168 bashos or so. Please play. It's free for all who believe, Jason..
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 not seeing it coming.. 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 believes that all that glitters is gold and consequently is buuying a stairway to heaven will lose.. 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. unless they will.

***MESSAGE: Please note that as you probably found out by now, the confirmation e-mail thing is not working, I repeat, THE EMAIL CONFIRMATION IS NOT WORKING, so I suggest a screen capture for now for those of you who wish to save their guesses. Also, some players are getting error pages after submitting. Usually, the entry is good regardless. When in doubt, e-mail me.
