2025 Natsu Basho - THE UNDERDOG GAME (TUG) - INVITATION and REGISTRATION FORM

[Achiyama 1,272]

Hello Sumo Fans, Gamers, Supporters of The Underdog Game (TUG) and Friends,

TUG Game will be on during 2025 Natsu Basho!

I want to invite all supporters of TUG to play again in May 2025. It is important Everybody to submit a filled up Registration Form, so to let me know what would be your status during Natsu 2025.

If for any reason you won't be able to participate, please, fill the Registration Form, choosing the KOSHO option. In this way your rank from the previous Banzuke will be kept the same.

I want to extend once again the Invitation to all Sumo fans and Gamers who would be curious to try TUG (The Underdog Game) for the FIRST time. We need new players!

In brief: How the Game is played:

As soon as the first official daily Torikumi becomes available I'll Post on Sumoforum the daily TUG Torikumi and a Link, where you can make your daily selection of your MAIN pick, as well as your BACK-UP pick. 

Note #1: The back-up pick has to be different from your main pick and it will be used only in case your main pick wins by FUSEN (see the Game Rules on the next thread).

Note #2: Those of you who choose the option to receive the daily Entry Form in an e-mail EVERYDAY, you can submit your picks from there. You don't need to have a Computer, you don't need access to Sumoforum. You can submit your picks from your e-mail, using a smart phone or a Tablet.

Note #3: If the e-mail option from Survey Monkey is not working, I will e-mail the link with the Entry Form individually (not using a distribution list).

Here is the link with the TUG Registration Form for 2025 Natsu Basho:
