Jakusotsu 5,871 Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) 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 players are allowed to pick Jk4w Nishikimaru and below. Edited January 9, 2022 by Jakusotsu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yarimotsu 548 Posted January 6, 2022 Jk19E Hoshinofuji after taking a closer look at the jonokuchi division, there's 3 guys who are brand new and maybe 4 who could bounce back after injury. The rest of them... well, it's a sorry story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I demand video review ! Actually, he's probably the best rikishi in Jk with former Ms experience. Just hoping whatever has held him kyujo so far is fine enough for a 6-1 or more to launch our wave. See you on the beach. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
