GTB invite- Kyushu 2024 - 255 entries- RESULTS!!

Recommended Posts

There's a game. It's a game called GTB. I promise you it will be very difficult and time consuming.. And annoying. But gratifying. Like climbing up a flagpole with oily hands.

This is a formal invitation to play the "Guess the Banzuke" game!! 25 years, 158 bashos. Please play. It's free this time too..

Game rules: Guess the Banzuke. Simple. You get two points for a bulls-eye and one point for just getting the rank right. You get no points for living in the past. Tiebreakers - Most total guesses, then we check the banzuke backwards - getting the lower half right will be important.  The most correct guesses in the last ten places will win the tiebreaker. If still tied we go up a ranking at a time like a penalty shootout. If still tied, the earliest entry wins. If still tied, I suggest the player with the most experience in gardening. It's up to you to check if you are on the list of entries. It's going to be your fault if you don't notice that your entry went missing in the Internet void. No late entries will be expected or accepted. Those are the rules, and the rules will never be changed. Lately I have been waking up in the morning. My father used to say that if you wake up in the morning and nothing hurts, you are probably dead. And now, for some serious stuff:

For rules, standings and kachkaval : http://www.dichne.com/Guess.htm

For the nifty entry form, which will hopefully continue to do what it's intended to do :http://sumodb.sumogames.de/gtb/GTBEntry.aspx

For Chiyotasuke's helper: https://chiyotasuke.github.io/gtbhelper/

For the "new" archives:http://sumodb.sumogames.de/gtb/gtbarchive.aspx

See if you are on the entry list: http://sumodb.sumogames.de/gtb/GTBEntryList.aspx

Deadline: Monday, October 21st, 2024  at 18:00 GMT ("Good Morning, Tokyo") - PLEASE NOTE-THIS IS ONE WEEK BEFORE THE OFFICIAL BANZUKE ANNOUNCEMENT!!

Special thanks to showrunners Andoreasu, Wizard Doitsuyama for everything else, and don't forget to turn off the lights when you leave.

***MESSAGE: Please note that as you probably found out by now, the confirmation e-mail thing is not working, so I suggest a screen capture for now for those of you who wish to save their guesses.

9 days more or less to enter. Do it now because later may be too later.

I added a new feature to the helper. It's now possible to copy your draft and paste it directly to the entry form without having to select from the boxes one by one. There is an instruction in the helper page on how to use this feature. You basically need to create a bookmarklet on your browser, so you can use it in future games. It works on most PC browsers but might not for some mobile browsers and I don't know why.

Tried it-got an error message saying I should check that my url started with http and not https. It did , but couldn't get past that. Anyhow, fantastic feature-has it worked for any one else?

Maybe your browser is enforcing HTTPS, even if you manually enter "http". There should a browser setting that disables this enforcing. Also make sure that the URL ends with "GTBEntry.aspx" only. What browser are you using, BTW?

It's quite a set of steps, but I did get it to work. Note to others: you have to actually make a draft and load it, not just have a layout.

If you refresh that page the URL should be back to normal. I suggest you go back to the insructions, copy the line code again (I updated it so that it works on URL that begins with http://sumodb.sumogames.de/gtb/GTBEntry.aspx) and then paste it to the URL part of the bookmarklet when you edit it. I think it will work (Scratchingchin...)Sorry for the trouble

If anyone has changed their GTB shikona either last basho, or has/intends to this basho, could you send me a PM with your old shikona? That way I can update my attempt at a GTB meta-banzuke.

ID's I need for last basho... Hobbobgob, Terunozilla, Kurasu, Dr Kroger

Additionally, links have been updated on the entry form - the link to past bashos and a new link - Chiyotasuke's helper.

The copy thing doesn't work now. I tried making a new bookmark, which kept saying I had zero rikishi, but the one I used successfully before also has the same error.

That's strange... Assuming you didn't switch domains between https://gtbhelper.vercel.app/ and https://chiyo2suke.github.io/gtbhelper/ the only explanation I can make out is that your browser doesn't allow 3rd-party cookies anymore. I don't know what else could cause that error. Heck, I should've known what I was jumping into when making this.

At any rate, I'll try to fix and optimize the feature.

Several browsers do this either by default or with a single toggle.  I'd expect a significant minority of all users to block all 3rd party cookies. 

Given that the average website sets between 100 and 1000 such cookies, this is probably also reasonable.  (I have a tracker tracker set up.)

Same URL, didn't clear cache or cookies or anything in the meantime. BTW, is the long link supposed to include the names of the wrestlers? I copy/pasted it into a doc file just to see it and none were there either with the new attempt or the old bookmark, but the URLs that had gotten pasted in were different from each other. I still have them if seeing them would help.

I have realized that I should change the current method of doing this. The new method I'm looking at doesn't involve any cookies or the URL and it should work for all users. It's simply copying the draft to the clipboard and "pasting" it to the form (someone on NattoSumo discord suggested me this first, I should've tried it). This will require you to click the bookmark twice, though.

I want to implement this before the current GTB deadline but I've been having busy and stressful days lately.

I've given up entirely now on trying to wrest confirmation emails from the sumogames server. Weird that it still works for some people.

Confirmation mails only go to people who can't be trusted to keep their own records. ;-)

Here you go. I usually get things well as far as sanyaku goes but I am deeply uneasy about WTK at kw. I am going with it as he's the best wrestler of the 3 candidates and he did beat Onosato...

I had someone email me an entry because they said the form wasn't working. It came in 18 hours ago, so well before the deadline. Can I pass it along so they're included in the competition? I know the entry form has the email to send it to at the bottom, and I'm going to point that out, but I figure an error of who to send it to and not when it was sent might warrant an exception.
