Randomitsuki Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 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). 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 new players are allowed to pick jk21e Matsuura and below. And here are the results after Kyushu Basho: Rank Shikona Last Surfer Position Allowed Picks 1.

Terarno Posted December 23, 2006 Posted December 23, 2006 Hi. (Sign of approval...) I would like to pick E-Jonokuchi 23 Iwasa, please. And also, as my last joker, E-Jonokuchi 29 Shobimaru. Thanks. Terarno
Torideyama Posted December 23, 2006 Posted December 23, 2006 Thanks to banzuke luck, I am atop this wave, riding tandem with Exil. So, for the time being, I am leading, or tied for the lead, in all 3 waves. LOL! Anyway, my pick here is the same as in wave 2: ms8W Daiyubu
Profomisakari Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 This time I want to go with Sd36W Morioka As my yoker I set my friend Sd36E Mori I hope one of them wil be one of the best in his division. Profomisakari
