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

This is a formal invitation to play the "Guess the Banzuke" game. 27 years,
164 bashos or so. Please play. It's 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 couldn't do it in his 13th basho. 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 says "ni" 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.

For the nifty entry form, which will hopefully continue to do what it's
intended to do :http://sumodb.sumogames.de/gtb/GTBEntry.aspx

For Chiyotasuke's incredible helper: https://gtbhelper.vercel.app

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

Deadline: Monday, June 23rd, 2025  at 18:00 GMT ("Garnicht Mit Traube") -
PLEASE NOTE-THIS IS ONE WEEK BEFORE THE OFFICIAL BANZUKE ANNOUNCEMENT!!

Special thanks to showrunners Andoreasu, Wizard Doitsuyama for everything
else, and all of you who wish to participate. If you have never played,
this is the time to start.

***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.
