WELCOME TO THE "CHAIN GANG"!!
What is
the "Chain Gang"? It's a Sumo-related game, based on a day by day entry. This means you have
to follow the ongoing tournament.You have to register for each
Basho,even if you are a returning player, in order to pick your
default, as you will see if you continue reading...
The good news is that all you have to do
is guess one (1) winner of your choice from all
the bouts on a given day, Juryo and Makuuchi.
Only one, any one.
You got it right? You advance to day 2 and pick again. You can pick
the same rikishi three times per basho max or pick a different rikishi for each day. You got it wrong?
Well, that was the shortest game you ever
played, because yer OUT!! No three
strikes, no
yellow card, no "one more chance".. It's the end
of the road.
Last human being
standing wins. This means the game could theoretically end on day 6. So
what..
You
will need to pick two default guys before the basho starts for the
days you don't play, who cannot be changed. The default player will be ranked
between Sekiwake and Juryo 14. There is a 5-time
use limit per basho for using the default rikishi. If you have already used the first default three times, the second default will kick in.The other reason for two
defaults
is this:
KYUJO - When your default pick
goes Kyujo, your second default pick kicks in.. IMPORTANT!! You cannot win OR lose by fusen. If your picked
rikishi is involved in a fusen match, the default kicks in
automatically.This is so no player will have any advantage due to time
zone differences, as we had happen in the past. In the highly unlikely
event that your default is also involved
in the fusen match, you're toast..The best thing to do is keep an eye
out
for possible kyujos, and stay away from that rikishi!! Defaults do not include any Ozeki or
Yokozuna.
Ozeki can be chosen from day 10 onwards. Yokozuna cannot be chosen at all.
The
tie-breaker- the player who used
the lowest ranked rikishi on average wins.
Please register!!!. If you don't, you won't
be able to pick your defaults.
There will be no mail sent out during the Basho-you'll
have to visit us to see who's still standing.
Good
luck!!
