Jakusotsu Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 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 Jk9e Sadanohana and below. Winner Banzuke Position 1. Achiyama Aki 2014 Se 2.

Gurowake Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Jd13e Hamaguchi as much as it pains me to pick the same rikishi in two different waves, this is just the obvious choice. (He's probably the best choice in the wave that I'm around sd90 as well, but that's way beyond how I want to play this game.) 1
Kotoviki Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 sd56E Obamaumi You may want a backup and watch this. He is still not certain to enter this basho yet, toe is still broken and didn't do any keiko ths summer.
Kaiowaka Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 Please accept my kosho status for this basho. Thank you
Terarno Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Hi. I pick W-Jonidan 21 Ariake, please. Thanks.

kuroimori Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Did I miss the deadline ? :'-( one 1 hour and 18 minutes late - but still 10 minutes faster than me (ok, that isn't any consolation at all...)
Jakusotsu Posted September 14, 2014 Author Posted September 14, 2014 More like 2 hours and 18 minutes. Sorry guys, but rules are rules. (and I didn't make them B-) )
