Jakusotsu 6,403 Posted September 4 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). In addition to the regular rikishi you pick for a basho, you can use one joker if still available. The more successful one of these two will determine your new banzuke position. Deadline is shonichi 8 AM JST. All new players are allowed to pick Jk10w Akenoyama and below. Rank Shikona Last Surfer Position Allowed Picks 1.

Sd2w Fujitoshi West Sandanme #2 Fujitoshi （Fujishima Stable） Absent from Day 1 of the September Tournament. 2 hours ago, WAKATAKE said: Sd33W Fujiizumi West Sandanme #33 Fujiizumi （Nishikido Stable） Absent from Day 1 of the September Tournament. I don't want to muddy the thread, but I'll say it. You can pick them if you think they're making an appearance later, but gambling might not be for everybody. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
