SUMO AND BINGO!!!!
Combining two of the Cadre's favorite things! Can it get much better than that???
1. Sign-ups are open today. You may still sign up after the game starts (if you want to play catch up). The first call will be on Monday July 15th
2. You must be a TSC member in good standing, with at least 10 meaningful posts.
3. Spirited banter is highly encouraged, but be a gentleman in all interactions.
4. Calls will be Words that occur in the sport of Sumo and the July 2024 tournament (Basho). This bingo game will run concurrently with the tournament and the Cadre Sumo Contest. It is highly recommended, that if you are playing Bingo, to go ahead and join the Sumo Contest as well. Even if you have never done it before and have no idea what you're doing, just make some random picks and play along. We all started there at some point. And the calls will be done in such a way to help you learn about sumo as we go.
SUMO Contest July 2024 Basho

5. There will be at least 3 calls per day, if more than 3 calls are posted the caller will state how many have been or will be posted that day. Calls will be found in one of Spider’s posts/activities for the given day, anywhere within the TSC Forum, but mostly in this thread or the Sumo Contest thread. Calls will be clearly marked by being contained within quotes (e.g. The call sumo will be called like this: "sumo".) Calls may be posted all at once, or throughout the course of any given day. Since calls will be marked and identified as such, no recaps will be given.
6. Calls can occur in a variety of ways:
Plain Text calls, typed directly or hidden within a post.
Photo, VIDEO, numeric, code, alternate Languages, audio, encryption, steganography, links to external sources, or graphic representation of calls may be employed.
Calls may be encoded or hidden in puzzles, requiring the player to decode or solve to determine the actual call. (If at any point you are stumped you may contact the caller or another player by PM for help).
7. Bingo cards: Each player will receive 1 Card, which will be sent via PM before the game begins unless you sign up after the game begins. You may print out your cards, or keep it digital. As calls are received mark them on your cards.
8. To win, you will need the pattern below. This represents the Dohyo (sumo wrestling ring) and the Tsuriyane (symbolic roof) over it.... like the picture above. Once you believe you have a bingo you must type "TSC BINGO" in this thread. The first person to call TSC BINGO wins the game (There are no ties). Then you must submit a photo of your card in this thread, for verification by the caller, before it is official. If it is not a good Bingo, play will resume.
9. The winner of this game will receive the following:
* The highly coveted Bingo Wizard Badge and bragging rights!
* The honor of being the caller of the next Bingo game (to be started within 4 weeks of winning--no bogarting the badge!).
* An additional prize may be offered at the discretion of the caller (callers are not required to offer a prize)
10. Recaps of calls will be provided, at or around the one week point, and every week thereafter, unless the nature of the game makes recaps redundant or irrelevant. (See above)
11. These rules must be posted by the caller before each game, and edited for the specifics of their game.
12. If you have any questions, or if any rule needs clarification, let the caller know. The caller has the final say in any questions, disputes, or clarifications regarding calls/rules.
13. Have Fun! Or, Go Crazy! But..... Why Not Both??
