[sumo] [Games] Chain Gang

[moti <sumo@dichne.com>]

Hi Gamers!! (deepest apologies again to non-gamers..)

This one is 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.
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. It could
be the same rikishi, or anyone else. 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? The prize? A key-chain, of course...
IMPORTANT!!IMPORTANT!! YOU HAVE TO REGISTER TO PLAY, even if you played
last time. You will need to pick TWO default guys before the basho
starts for the days you don't/can't play, who cannot be changed. There
is a 5-time use limit per basho for using a default, and you can use him
for three straight days only, though we don't think you'll get very far
using a default in this particular game. The 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(default). If your picked 
rikishi is involved in a fusen match, the default kicks in 
automatically. This is so no player will have any advantage/disadvantage 
due to time zone differences, as we have happening in other games. 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!!
IMPORTANT!! When your default kicks in for a kyujo rikishi, he doesn't
count as one of the 5-per-basho you are allowed.
The tie-breaker- the player who used the lowest ranked rikishi on
average wins.

There will be no mail sent out during the Basho - you'll
have to visit us to see who's still standing.
Good luck!!
