    Interesting game. At first I thought the premise was a lot like The Maegashira Game. Reading through it, I like it and will play if it goes forward. This will only be sumo game #21 for me. :) And to think that my boss sees me coming to work thinking I am there to work for him. :) When do I have time???

    I play about 20 games. Pre-basho it takes about 2 hours to sign up in all the games and enter the pre-basho games. Then daily it takes about an hour to enter daily...at least 15 minutes of that time is spent posting and commenting upon the Fighting Spirit Prize Standings in Bench Sumo. When I enter daily, I always start with Sekitori-toto. Before hitting the entry button, I print off the entry form. Then I have a torikumi to look at with head-to-heads to use for entering all the other games.

     

    I have a daily 4x6 piece of paper with all the games I enter on it. Each day I go down the written list, writing down my pre-basho standings so far, and checking off each daily game as I enter. I never miss an entry that way.

     

    Bench Sumo is by far the most enjoyable game. Due to registration problems, you will have to contact Jejima to get yourself registered for the game. jejima@gmail.com

    Several years ago Doreen Simmons would take me to many heyas for morning keiko. At one I saw an "assistant coach" pull aside a junior rikishi and show him proper technique on an arm throw. But that is the only time in all my heya visits that I saw instruction.. Always the oyakata sat there smoking, drinking coffee, and grunting instructions to the rikishi.
