2021 Haru Basho - THE UNDERDOG GAME (TUG) - INVITATION and REGISTRATION FORM

[Achiyama 1,246]

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

The next Basho: 2021 Haru Basho is approaching!  We have only 11 days till it begins!

I want to invite all supporters of TUG to play again in March 2021. It is important Everybody to submit a filled up Registration Form, so to let me know what would be your status during Haru 2021.

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.

Note #3: If the e-mail option from Survey Monkey is not working, I will e-mail the link with the Entry Form individually (not using a distribution list).

Here is the link with the TUG Registration Form for 2021 Haru Basho:

Best Regards and I hope to see more participants in TUG during 2021 Haru Basho,
