Randomitsuki 2,908 Posted July 10, 2014 Hi there, this is to invite you to participate in Banzuke Surfing in the upcoming basho. The rules are very simple. Banzuke Surfing is run in several waves, with a new wave starting every year. The goal is to move up the banzuke as far and fast as possible. You do so by temporarily "adopting" one or more rikishi at a given banzuke position. If your rikishi moves up the banzuke, so will you, if the rikishi moves down by getting MK, so will you (at least, if all your picked rikishi move down). If your rikishi goes intai, you will get his last position next time. In the basho after the current one you will be taking the banzuke position of the best-placed rikishi you've picked this time. If your name appears on the list below, you have already participated. The column "Allowed Picks" shows you which rikishi of the banzuke you are allowed to pick next basho. If you are participating for the first time, you are allowed to pick any of the rikishi in the bottom 32 of the banzuke (as indicated below). The rikishi that you are allowed to pick are all rikishi below your last (or most successful) pick. So generally, you cannot pick the same rikishi twice. An exception is if your rikishi drops into the last 32 of the banzuke or goes banzuke-gai. In this case, of course, you can pick any of the bottom 32 rikishi (just like a new player). During your entire career of a given wave you can use up to three so-called jokers (indicated by the number of asterisks behind your name). Jokers are additional rikishi you can pick. In addition to the regular rikishi you pick for a basho, you can use as many jokers as you've still left. E.g., at the beginning of a wave you could pick four rikishi instead of one (regular + all jokers). As a consequence, the most successful one of these four will determine your new banzuke position. But on the downside this would mean that you don't have any jokers left for later bashos. So pick jokers wisely, three isn't much for a wave that might run for much more than a year. Deadline is shonichi 8 AM JST. All new players are allowed to pick Jk12e Otaki and below. Rank Shikona Last Surfer Position Allowed Picks 1. Achiyama Endo M5w M6e Terunofuji and below 2.

Vikanohara 171 Posted July 12, 2014 Even though I like Tokushoryu, last time at this rank he still scored a 6-9.ex-Komusubi Takayasu & Okinoumi are interesting options as well. But I just hope that this ex-Sekiwake will fight back after two bad records : M10w Toyonoshima Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Randomitsuki 2,908 Posted July 22, 2014 Standings after day 10: This wave went from exceptional to just very good, as some winning records were turned into losing records. Otherwise, there is not much to report. Achiyama still battles with Kaiowaka for first place while Vikanohara firmly stays in third. Kotoviki might suffer from the typical bottleneckeritis in low Juryo. Rank Shikona Surfs Position Standing 1. Achiyama Myogiryu M6w 7-3 2. Kaiowaka*** Chiyotairyu M8e 7-3 3.
