FANTASY BASHO RULES

• Each Fantasy Sumo league is contested by eight teams.

• Before each basho, each team will be selected through a serpentine draft.

• Each team will select four rikishi for the duration of each basho.

• The team with the highest total score at the end of each basho will be the winner.

  • A team’s score is the total of each individual rikishi.

    • A rikishi gets two points for each win.

    • A rikishi gets one point for each special prize.

    • A rikishi gets one point for a kinboshi (beating a Yokozuna)

• In case of injury and a rikishi going kyujo for the remainder of a tournament, the team will be able to select a replacement from rikishi not on any other team, whose wins from that point forward will count to the team’s total.

• Teams can switch out rikishi from the Free Agents for each round if desired.
