Kintamayama 45,526 Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) Drring drrrring... drrrring driing...driing dring..Drring drrrring... drrrring driing...driing dring..Drring drrrring... drrrring driing...driing dring.. Sorry, no answer. Please try again later. It's the bi-monthly invitation to play the GTB - the awesome between- bashos "Guess the Banzuke" 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 eating with your mouth full. Tiebreakers - Most total guesses, then, we check the banzuke backwards - getting the lower half right will be more important now. 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. Then we exchange pleasantries. 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 . For rules, standings and to buy the book "Enough With the Asparagus" by Y.R.U. Sad.http://www.dichne.com/Guess.htm For the nifty entry form:http://sumodb.sumoga...b/GTBEntry.aspx For the "new" archives:http://sumodb.sumoga...gtbarchive.aspx Free online live sumo!!http://inyourdreams-suckers.tv Deadline- Monday, June 19th, 2017 which is very soon at 18:00 GMT ("Goueidou May Try") - PLEASE NOTE-THIS IS ONE WEEK BEFORE THE OFFICIAL BANZUKE ANNOUNCEMENT!! NEW!!! The Awesome GTB Helper, conceived by Tsuchinoninjin - makes making an entry a piece of cake!! Special thanks to Andoreasu who runs it, Doitsuyama who automates and maintains it and to baloney sandwiches. Edited June 26, 2017 by Kintamayama 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 40,775 Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) I had to make the entry without help(er) - @Tsuchinoninjin, please switch the helper to Natsu->Nagoya Edited June 10, 2017 by Akinomaki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hakushin 4 Posted June 11, 2017 can the entry forum adjusted to allow morethan 42 ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gurowake 4,106 Posted June 12, 2017 2 hours ago, Reijinguoshan said: can the entry forum adjusted to allow morethan 42 ? I doubt it, since I was the one that spurred them to make sure it checked. There is absolutely no reason to think there will not be exactly 42 rikishi in Makuuchi. I'm not sure if you're thinking there's going to be more or less, but there's a way to effectively make more predictions than you're allowed (and score for them) in unsure situations if you're allowed to have more than 42 and there are an odd number of sanyaku.

RaeucherLax 290 Posted June 13, 2017 It would be highly appreciated if @Tsuchinoninjin could switch the entry form to Nagoya it´s been a great help the last times and I think it helped me come up with an entry a lot faster (the result was rubbish as usual but hey it´s not my fault that the old guys at the Kyokai just do whatever they like ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asashosakari 19,654 Posted June 13, 2017 To tide you over until the web-based helper is hopefully updated, you can find a Google Docs-based version here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VnH1QuxGBYnEVO2TZ-cl4CMCLgDEdeN_jI3pETC7Vx4/ It's set to view-only for unavoidable reasons; in order to edit it, you will have to copy it to your own Google account, or download it in Excel / Open Office format and work with it locally. Usage: Just enter the desired ranks into the NewRk columns and the rikishi will be filled into the new banzuke on the right. I've filled in the four yokozuna ranks to (hopefully) demonstrate how it works. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RaeucherLax 290 Posted June 14, 2017 Thx for the Google docs table.... that was shortest time I ever needed to submit my entry...but just because I had to do it in my lunch break I can see myself falling down the Banzuke already Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nekoyama 2 Posted June 18, 2017 I can definitely see why the M1-5'ish ranks are thought of as a meat grinder. In the few GTB I've done (either on my own time or submitted), it was hard because those positions were rightfully needing to be vacated. I don't envy the folks who write this stuff up.

WAKATAKE 2,671 Posted June 18, 2017 Have to say this is the first time I've ever gotten to play this game in this format, but I'm certainly thankful for the opportunity. Hard to believe the release is only a week away! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kuroimori 1,634 Posted June 18, 2017 Almost forgot tomorrow's deadline, but just submitted my GTB entry - only 56 entries so far. I am really asking myself: Why don't ya wanNa go, y'all? Come on everyone, join on in the frustr... I mean the fun! Whoever figures out the ranks M7-12 should have a big chance to take the yusho, in my opinion. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shatsume 118 Posted June 18, 2017 That.was.really.tough. I am not confident of any of the maegashira ranks other than M1E and M16E!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You still have a long way to go to beat me on bashos "forgotten to enter," I have always intended to enter every basho but check my record in GTB to see how many times I forgot That should make you feel better about missing this one..... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The syacho has been lurking the past few weeks making any kind of free time difficult (honestly I was scrambling to see if Kotoshogiku had retired in the waning hour before the deadline, I have no idea what's been going on lately).
