Three days after the basho and 48 entries already. Wow..

There's that game. A fantasy sumo game. It's  GTB, or "Guess the Banzuke"
if you will.. I promise you blood, sweat and tears.

This is a formal invitation to play the "Guess the Banzuke" game!! 25
years, 163 bashos or so. Please play. It's a free for all.

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 for
expecting a Houshouryuu yusho in his first tournament as a Yokozuna...
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, the player who can recite Shakespeare's "Hamlet"
by heart in Latin wins.. This includes all genders - we do not
discriminate. 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. No late entries will be expected or accepted.
Those are the rules, and the rules will never be changed. 2B or not 2B.

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

For the "new" archives:http://sumodb.sumogames.de/gtb/gtbarchive.aspx

Deadline: Monday, April 21st, 2025  at 18:00 GMT ("Go Make Tea") - PLEASE
NOTE-THIS IS ONE WEEK BEFORE THE OFFICIAL BANZUKE ANNOUNCEMENT!!

Special thanks to showrunners Andoreasu, Wizard Doitsuyama for everything
else, and all of you who wish to participate

***MESSAGE: Please note that as you probably found out by now, the
confirmation e-mail thing is not working, so I suggest a screen capture for
now for those of you who wish to save their guesses.
