Achiyama 1,224 Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) Hello Sumo Fans and Gamers, and Supporters of TUG, I am back from a wonderful vacation in Bulgaria full with excitement, so I decided to post the Invitation for The Underdog Game (TUG) for the last basho of 2016 - Kyushu 2016 a little bit earlier than usual. This Basho, I'll continue using the private way of submitting your daily entries using a link, where the possible picks can be found. This system has been used successfully during the last 3 basho. I want to extend the invitation to all Sumo fans and Gamers who would be curious to try The Underdog Game. I set a Goal for KYUSHU 2016 - 40+ participants! CAN WE DO IT? As soon as the first official daily Torikumi becomes available I'll Post the TUG Torikumi and a Link, where you can make your selection of your MAIN pick for Day 1, as well as your BACK-UP pick. NOTE: The back-up pick has to be different from your main pick and it will be used in case your main pick wins by FUSEN (see the Game Rules below). The Daily Torikumi and the Standings Tables will be posted on Sumoforum. You can find the Rules of TUG on the next thread.

Harry 67 Posted October 27, 2016 Is there a banzuke or list of prior players? I've never played before and it's been YEARS since I played any sumo games so I wanted to see if any of my old shikona have been re-used. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Harry, The most recent Banzuke for TUG is a little bit down the list in Sumo Games. The topic is entitled; 2016 Kyushu - THE UNDERDOG GAME (TUG) - BANZUKE Also, the Results and Standings of 2016 Aki basho are further down. The topic is entitled: 2016 Aki - THE UNDERDOG GAME (TUG) - ENTRY, TORIKUMI, STANDINGS If you go on other pages, you can find info for other Basho. If you send me (you can do it via PM) your old Shikona, I can tell you whether any of them was re-used. I doubt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
