Kintamayama 45,093 Posted February 26, 2003 Hi! This is to announce the existence of the extremely popular and veteran game, the ISP, the Internet Sumo Pool. You can find the rules/login/sign up at: http://isp.sumogames.com YOU HAVE TO REGISTER!!When you do, don't forget to use the tie-breaker thingy on the entrance page. People have lost yushos because they didn't pick a tie-breaker!! ALL players must register for the Basho so they can enter their daily guesses. Unregisterd players will not be ranked, even if they used to play!! In a nutshell- a single bout will be chosen from the following day's bouts- you have to guess who's the winner. You will find all the relevant statistics (past meetings, etc..)when you enter your daily guess. Guess right -it's a win -guess wrong-it's a loss. The player with the best score after 15 days gets the Yusho. There is a formula page, where you can chose any or all of the 9 different formulas for when you will be absent from certain days (or just forget to send a pick..) The heavier rikishi to win, the older, the hairier, etc.. DEFAULTS-may be used five times during a basho, and on not more than three consecutive days. During the basho, you can see the various picks for that day, and see who the favorite one is. As for the game Banzuke, it has been published, thanks to Zenjimoto, and is posted on the site. Check out the game-it's great!! And the winner's prize --well, again, this is a futile call for someone out there to furnish one!! Last time there was no prize and that is/was/will be a pity. And remember, you are only what you is.. Good luck!! -- Kintamayama and Kofuji Guessbusters Inc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
