Winter is coming. Time to play THE 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,
168 bashos or so. Please play. It's free for all who believe, Jason..

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 not
seeing it coming.. 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 believes that
all that glitters is gold and consequently is buuying a stairway to heaven
will lose.. 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. unless they will.

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, December 15th, 2025  at 18:00 GMT* ("Great Men
Thinkalike") - PLEASE NOTE-THIS IS ONE WEEK BEFORE THE OFFICIAL BANZUKE
ANNOUNCEMENT!!

Special thanks to showrunners Andoreasu, Wizard Doitsuyama for everything
else, and to my first grade teacher who said I could never be funny. Look
who is laughing now..

***MESSAGE: Please note that as you probably found out by now, the
confirmation e-mail thing is not working, I repeat, *THE EMAIL CONFIRMATION
IS NOT WORKING*, so I suggest a screen capture for now for those of you
who wish to save their guesses. Also, some players are getting error pages
after submitting. Usually, the entry is good regardless. When in doubt,
e-mail me.
