I submitted a day 1 pick for TUG, but it does not appear to be in your record books. Can you please check it one more time? 

Thank you,

Reminder to Wakatake and Andonishiki!

As I mentioned in the TUG Invitation and Registration topic:

The Deadline for submitting the Daily picks for TUG is Midnight 12:00 a.m. EDT (Eastern Day Time).

You both sent me your picks for Day 1 and Day 2 at around 12:30 a.m. Although this is way before the start of Makuuchi bouts it is after I post the Table with all picks.

To be fair to all players, please, follow the Deadline for submitting your picks.

Dearest Achiyama -

i shud have properly read your rules - the new deadline: midnight EDT

That is 1pm Tokyo time if i calculate correctly, -> 6am European Central Time during summer time.

I submit picks on weekdays early morning right after waking up to avoid missing kyujo announcements.

very likely i will miss your deadline on many days, therefore i'll better drop out for Aki'22.

i will decide about intai before Kyushu basho 

thanks for running the game, it's A LOT of work and much appreciated.

Hello Andonishiki-zeki,

I get your point with the inconveniences of the Deadline. 

You are one of the continuous and biggest supporters of TUG. You are 1 of 14 Gamers, who participated in TUG from the Inaugural 2015 Hatsu Basho. Thank you for that from the bottom of my heart!

I don't want to lose you, so what I can do, I'll just extend the Deadline (as before) until the the Makuuchi bouts start. 

The Tables with the daily picks will be posted in the following morning.

I hope that this might be easing for other Gamers as well.

As for the INTAI, I understand that it's your personal decision, but I am sure the TUG Comunity, and definitely I will miss you.

Best Regards,

Achiyama, TUG Rijicho
