In 5 periods of 3 days, you have to choose which rikishi will win and which will loose.
The groups are :
High group : from Hakuho to Dejima
Middle group : from Kakuryu to Futeno
Low group : from Hokutoriki to Kasuganishiki.
You can find, for more explanations, the complete rules on the website, in english.
For new players, if we are less than 42, no problems, everybody will be in makuuchi. If we go over 42 players, the Jûryô division will be created for all new players. The "oldest" will play for Makuuchi yûshô and beginners for the Jûryô yûshô. The best "jûryô-ans" will be promoted to makuuchi at the end of the basho.
About the Banzuke, here is the message of the 3 "Sages"
You can see the update (stats, banzuke, everything ^^) on this link >>> http://setzer.club.fr/FAWL/index_e.htmWelcome to Bezu-ryu, Hidariashiyama, Jakusotsu and Sakana for their entries in FAWL banzuke.
There is some modifications in the top of the banzuke. No more less than 3 new sanyaku : Terarno (with a good 10-5 last time as komusubi), Kitano and Kotononami are keeping their sekiwake's rank.
Three new komusubi are appearing : Whiskytsumi with the Aki yûshô in the hand (12-3), Neko (after a good row of Kachi-koshi) and Susanoo who confirms his good position after his yûshô in july. Konosato leaves sanayku's rank but is still near from it, as M3e.
In the top of the banzuke, Charliki, Zenjimoto and Doitsuyama are taking their positions for a promotion in 2008.
Kosho status was granted to Kotononami, Ulsimitsuki and Wolfgangho during the Aki basho.
Iwanoshima has announced his intai. Come to FAWL-kokugikan to cut a piece of mage.
