Randomitsuki Posted April 25, 2007 Posted April 25, 2007 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 jk28w Sawamura and below. Here are the results after Haru Basho: Rank Shikona Last Surfer Position Allowed Picks 1.

Fukurou Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 If someone wanted to try banzuke surfing for the first time, which wave do they post to? All 3 Waves on this forum have info for new players in the 1st message, which makes things a bit confusing. (Laughing...)
Torideyama Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 If someone wanted to try banzuke surfing for the first time, which wave do they post to? All 3 Waves on this forum have info for new players in the 1st message, which makes things a bit confusing. (Nodding yes...) Fukurou, You may play in all 3 waves. They are separate games. The first wave started in 2005. The 2nd, in 2006, and the 3rd, this year. They are a result of those of us who play of not wanting to end the 1st wave. The general feeling was that as soon as someone could surf to the Sanyaku, we could close that wave. Anyway, a new person can play in all 3. You just start at the bottom of each wave. You may pick the same person in all 3, if you like. I hope this helps you.
