Randomitsuki Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 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 jk15e Ohifuji and below. Here are the results after Hatsu Basho: Rank Shikona Last Surfer Position Allowed Picks 1.

Odoriou Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Ms5e Aran is my candidate. (Sign of approval...)
Profomisakari Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 I would like to surf with Ms12e Minami, please! Profomisakari
Randomitsuki Posted March 5, 2008 Author Posted March 5, 2008 ms58w Akiyutaka (probably to be replaced very soon...)
yamaneko Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 Jd103 Teraomaru IF HE RETURNS. If he is still out of action (why doesnt it even say 0-0-7 in his db info?), then my choice is: Jd107 Tamahikari IF HE RETURNS. (is there any place to see if these guys are back in action?) If both of the above are still injured, screw it, ill just start over and go with Jk26 Fukao
