Randomitsuki Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 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). 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 Jk19e Sadanosato and below. Rank Shikona Last Surfer Position Allowed Picks 1. Gernobono* Hokutoriki J4e J4w Asofuji and below 2.

Gernobono Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 J6w Wakanosato in fact i do not want to think about my guess and sato is someone i know...
Terarno Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Wow, I pick in Makushita division for the first time ever, and I play this wave since Aki 2005 only, lol. So, I'm very proud to announce that I pick W-Makushita 43 Sasaki, please. Thanks.
Kotoviki Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 I pick jd52w Kotosaito!! :-P (In a state of confusion...) Good Luck!!!!
Odoriou Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 (edited) Jd24e Nakanoumi for me, pleeze. :-) Oh no, he went kyujo. :-) I'll make a new post soon. Edited July 11, 2009 by Odoriou
Zenjimoto Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Although to the suspecting eye it MIGHT appear as if I am trying to pull a "Scarebear tactic" in this particular wave, I am immensely ashamed to say that I am NOT! (I am not worthy...) Sakaguchi - if this one backfires again, I'll have no other option than to announce my retirement (Neener, neener...)
