2020 Kyushu Basho - THE UNDERDDOG GAME (TUG) - INVITATION AND REGISTRATION FORM

[Achiyama 1,246]

Hello Sumo Fans and Gamers, and Supporters of The Underdog Game (TUG),

The next Basho: 2020 Kyushu Basho is approaching fast!  We have only 9 days till it begins!

I want to invite all supporters of TUG to play again in September 2020. It is important Everybody to submit a filled up Registration Form, so to let me know what would be your status during Kyushu 2020.

If for any reason you won't be able to participate, please, fill the Registration Form, choosing the KOSHO option. In this way your rank from the previous Banzuke will be kept the same.

I want to extend once again the Invitation to all Sumo fans and Gamers who would be curious to try TUG (The Underdog Game) for the FIRST time.

I still hope there is a chance TUG to be considered for inclusion in the SB games in the near future after the nomination, made by Jejima, The Bench Sumo Rijicho, on December 3, 2018 in the topic "Superbanzuke Masters Kyushu 2018 and 2018 World Championship". As it was pointed out the Criterion #1 is "42+ Gamers should be participating regularly each basho in a game in order to be eventually considered to become an SB game."

In brief: How the Game is played:

As soon as the first official daily Torikumi becomes available I'll Post on Sumoforum the daily TUG Torikumi and a Link, where you can make your daily selection of your MAIN pick, as well as your BACK-UP pick. 

Note #1: The back-up pick has to be different from your main pick and it will be used only in case your main pick wins by FUSEN (see the Game Rules on the next thread).

Note #2: Those of you who choose the option to receive the daily Entry Form in an e-mail EVERYDAY, you can submit your picks from there. You don't need to have a Computer, you don't need access to Sumoforum. You can submit your picks from your e-mail, using a smart phone or a Tablet.

Here is the link with the TUG Registration Form for 2020 Kyushu Basho:

Best Regards and I hope to see more participants in TUG during 2020 Kyushu Basho,

Hakushin,

Click on your name at the top of any page of sumoforum.  Then click on Profile.  You can change your shikona there.

Don't know what to say.  When I hit the EDIT PROFILE button, the first line is Member Name.  Maybe if you find an administrator he can do it for you.
