Hi everyone! Back in 2010, we had the inaugural Bench World Cup. This is a fantasy sports game played during the football (soccer) World Cup. Since then, there has been three further Men's Bench World Cups in 2014, 2018 and 2022, four Men's Bench Euros in 2012, 2016, 2021 and 2024. We also had the first Women's Bench World Cup in 2023. This year, I am hoping to have the inaugural Women's Bench Euros. Here are the basic rules of the game. (There will need to be a slight rewriting, due to the smaller size of this competition, but they are pretty much 'fixed' as is.) From previous experience, the game can be a little rushed to organise immediately after a sumo tournament. So, I am starting this topic now, in order to get people to sign up to play and to volunteer be a 'refioji' (referee/gyoji - term originally coined by Achiyama). No need for prior experience to become a refioji. Please 'sign up' on the list below if you would like to play. We need 24 competitors, (plus a few reserves, ideally) Preference is given to: a) sumo game players (even better if you play Bench Sumo!) b) regular players of 'Bench' football competitions c) sumo fans d) family (and friends) of the above We also need four 'refiojis' - one person to look after each of the four groups in the group stages (so one refioji in charge of four players). Those refiojis will then also be given games in the knock-out stages to look after. Please register your interest to play below, and whether you would be able to kindly help out with the administration. Refiojis 1. 2. 3. 4. Reserves First reserve: Second reserve: Players 1. Jejima 2. Fujiko 3. Baku 4. Kaba 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. Reserves - in case any of the above drop out at the last minute or don't make their squad selections in time. First reserve: 2nd reserve: 3rd reserve: 4th reserve:

Another update...... Appealing for new players to join Mae-zumo. I'm hoping that we can have a full Sekitori (i.e. 70 regular players) by the end of 2025 . @lilfox, @Shiroiokami, @Gernobono, @tsunamiko, @Tetsuba Makunouchi Bunbukuchagama ACTIVE O1 sumojoann ACTIVE Gusoyama ACTIVE O2 Baku ACTIVE lilfox (M1W, 9-6) S1 Sumo Spiffy SALTY Karasukurai ACTIVE K1 Rokudenashi ACTIVE Ryoshishikunin ACTIVE M1 Wamahada ACTIVE Flohru ACTIVE M2 Ganzohnesushi ACTIVE Holleshoryu ACTIVE M3 RaeucherLax ACTIVE Reonito ACTIVE M4 WAKATAKE ACTIVE TheGunbaiHolder ACTIVE M5 Kimyama ACTIVE Kaito ACTIVE M6 Gaijingai ACTIVE Jakusotsu FREDDO M7 Iwadanuki ACTIVE Terarno ACTIVE M8 Yarimotsu ACTIVE Fujiko ACTIVE M9 Chanko Thief ACTIVE Andreas21 ACTIVE M10 Getayukata ACTIVE chishafuwaku ACTIVE M11 Joputosu ACTIVE Marakizumi ACTIVE M12 Shiroiokami (J4W, 12-3) Katooshu ACTIVE M13 Ack!

New Banzuke for May 2025 Comments: Although he did not meet the target of 10+ wins, I have decided to promote Baku to Ozeki on the basis of his jun-yusho. I will ask him to make an acceptance speech later. In a similar fashion, based on his jun-yusho, Bunbukuchagama is now a tsunatori (Ozeki on Yokozuna watch) going into the May basho. Sadly, sumojoann and Gusoyama will both be kadoban in May, and so will require KKs then in order to keep their ranks for July. lilfox requires a 15-0 zen-yusho in order to get the 33 wins normally required for promotion to Ozeki, but I guess a 14-1 yusho would be enough. SumoSpiffy was MK in January, so should not really be on an Ozeki run for May, but after his stellar yusho this basho, I think that it would be difficult to deny him promotion to Ozeki should he repeat the feat - after all, it would be enough for a promotion to Yokozuna from Ozeki.

To play this game, just say that you are playing, and that's it. NOTE: You must sign up prior to each and every basho that you wish to play Just before the start of the next basho, I will make a random draw of all Ozumo sekitori (rikishi in Makunouchi and Juryo) to be given to the active players of this game. You will then score the same as that drawn rikishi. New / Returning players to the game, will be given a rikishi from Jonokuchi to represent them in Mae-zumo. Rule to be aware of.... If your sweepstake rikishi declares himself intai during a basho (as Tochinoshin did in May 2023 and Takakeisho in September 2024), then so do you (as poor Djodjoyoshi found himself doing BOTH times, thanks to the aforesaid Tochinoshin and Takakeisho). Currently, we are excluding Ozumo rikishi who do not appear on the day 1 torikumi. However, if we ever have 70 active players, this will no longer be the case - and you may find yourself sitting out of a tournament, nursing an injury, for Covid, or because you were caught gambling when you were not meant to, and so are being punished accordingly. Your next banzuke position will be based on what happens to your sweepstake rikishi. So, if you get a 'resting' Yokozuna or someone with Covid, you are likely to keep your rank. If, you get a rikishi being punished, or having to pull out for an injury (and they are not 'Yokozuna'-protected), you will score 0-0-15, and drop accordingly. There might even be an instance when there is a greyed out spot on the banzuke, due to a late 'banishment' for a serious offence (or a belated intai) when we make the draw for the '70'. If you get that rikishi - you are also 'banished' or have declared a late intai. It's all pure luck New/returning players are welcome to join the fun - but they will have to start in mae-zumo. They will be given a random Jonokuchi rikishi in the Sweepstake.
