It's that time of the year again. Time to play a fantasy sumo game. It's
called  GTB, or "Guess the Banzuke". .

This is a formal invitation to play the "Guess the Banzuke" game. 27 years,
165 bashos or so. Please play. It's a free for all, for now.

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
thinking Oonosato isn't "good" enough. Tiebreakers - Most total guesses,
then we check the banzuke backwards - getting the lower half right will be
important.  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. If still tied, the earliest entry wins. If still tied, the player
who has owned a Kotoshouhou tegata/towel for at least a year, wins.. 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. Those are the rules,
and the rules will never be changed.

intended to do :http://sumodb.sumogames.de/gtb/GTBEntry.aspx

For the "new" archives:http://sumodb.sumogames.de/gtb/gtbarchive.aspx

Deadline: Monday, August 25th, 2025  at 18:00 GMT ("Give Moti Tip") - PLEASE
NOTE-THIS IS ONE WEEK BEFORE THE OFFICIAL BANZUKE ANNOUNCEMENT!!

Special thanks to showrunners Andoreasu, Wizard Doitsuyama for everything
else, and to rollercoasters.

***MESSAGE: Please note that as you probably found out by now, the
confirmation e-mail thing is not working, so I suggest a screen capture for
now for those of you who wish to save their guesses.
