It is customary for me to invite Ozumo fans to play the GTB (Guess the
Banzuke") game after a basho has ended. Who am i to break this custom? So
this is a formal invitation to play the "Guess the Banzuke" game. 27 years,
170 bashos or so. Please play. It's free, for now. .

Game rules: Guess the Banzuke. Simple. You get two points for a bulls-eye
and one point for just getting the rank right. You get no points just for
demanding to see the manager..  Tiebreakers - Most total guesses, then we
check the banzuke backwards - getting the lower half right will be
important.  The most correct guesses in the last ten places will win the
tiebreaker. If still tied we go up a ranking at a time like a penalty
shootout. If still tied, the earliest entry wins. If still tied, I will
cry. It's up to you to check if you are on the list of entries. It's going
to be your fault if you don't notice that your entry went missing in the
Internet void. Please, please check the entry list to see if you are on it.
No late entries will be expected or accepted. Those are the rules, and the
rules will never be changed.

intended to do :http://sumodb.sumogames.de/gtb/GTBEntry.aspx

Deadline: Monday, August 24th, 2026  at 18:00 GMT ("Go, Mighty
Takanoshou!!") - PLEASE NOTE-THIS IS ONE WEEK BEFORE THE OFFICIAL BANZUKE
ANNOUNCEMENT!!

Special thanks to showrunners Andoreasu, Wizard Doitsuyama for everything
else, and to Batman..

***MESSAGE: Please note that as you probably found out by now, the
confirmation e-mail thing is not working, I repeat, THE EMAIL CONFIRMATION
IS NOT WORKING, so I suggest a screen capture for those of you who wish to
save their guesses. Also, players are getting error pages after submitting.
Do not panic. Usually, the entry is received regardless. When in doubt,
please, please check via this entry list link . If your name is not there,
then you can e-mail your entry to me.
