Jakusotsu Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 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 Jk10w Daiseishin and below. Winner Banzuke Position 1. Golynohana Aki 2009 Kw Rank Shikona Last Surfer Position Allowed Picks 2.

Kotoviki Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) Please add Torugawa sd 23e for me! (Chucking salt...) PS as you can see I changed my shikona but you are welcome to keep referring to me as ilovetochinoshin... but Sadogatake Gyoji designed me my own shikona so I want to use it!! The kanji is very beautiful and it is special to me!!! Edited March 4, 2010 by Kotoviki
Shibata-gumi Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 My pick: Jk10w Daiseishin Gunma Shibatayama thanks!
Asafan Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Ms19e Takanoiwa, my adoptee (Showing respect...) Thanks
Jejima Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 J14W Daido (not that I really want him, but he is the only Juryo rikishi that I am allowed to pick. I am hoping he'll at least scrape a KK this basho, in order to give me some more options in May... (In jonokuchi...) )
