2016 Natsu - THE UNDERDOG GAME (TUG) - ENTRY LINK, TORIKUMI & STAN

[kuroimori]

Wow! Looks like everyone lost on day 9!

That's why I didn't bother to make a pick ;-)

[Achiyama]

Day 9 - OUCH!

Absolute, call it carnage, or massacre, or slaughter!

A day easy to forget!

But for the sake of daily update - NOBODY scored on Day 9.

So NO Glory, NO Harm.

It's not the first time though. It happened once or twice during previous basho. I remember once it happened on Day 14, but I don't recall to happen so early.

Here is the Standings Table for Day 9 filled with donuts :-) :

Hi Achiyama, I completely forgot who my first pick was so I've just sent another pick.

I don't think they're the same but if they are, please forgive my mistake.

Thank you!

Hi Achiyama, I completely forgot who my first pick was so I've just sent another pick.

I don't think they're the same but if they are, please forgive my mistake.

Thank you!

Don't worry Kotoshikona,

Everybody can change his/her pick as many times as he/she wants till the Deadline and I'll consider the last submitted pick as the chosen one.

The remark I made previously was about sending the same picks multiple times. But everything is fine now.

See your PM, please.

Achiyama I sent it about an hour ago. I think I chose Yoshikaze with the default pick Daieisho.

[Achiyama]

You are fine Panda-zeki,

I saw it but haven't update the post yet.

I'd prefer if you don't reveal your picks on Sumoforum but use a PM.

I worked hard to implement this new system and don't want to go back to posting the picks on Sumoforum.

Good luck,
