The Banzuke is the official ranking system for our month-long Yahtzee tournament. It evaluates qualifying players based on a blended Power Score - factoring in averages, high scores, and gameplay consistency - and sorts them into six exclusive, sumo-inspired rank tiers. Register now!
The tournament begins on August 1st. Check back then!
Who qualifies?
You need at least 50 games played within the tournament month itself to appear on the Banzuke at all. Games from a previous month don't carry over - each month's standings are built entirely from that month's own play.
Tournament Timing
The tournament begins at the stroke of midnight (Central European Time) on August 1. The Live Standings view updates continuously all month, but doesn't show individual scores until after a few days. With only a handful of qualifiers in the first week, Power Score can't yet be measured against a meaningful group of peers. At the end of the last day of the month, standings freeze for good and become the tournament's permanent, official record.
The Rank Tiers
Yahtzeezuna - the grand champion tier. Requires a Power Score of 80 or higher. Some months, nobody clears the bar at all - that's by design.
Diceki - the top 10% of everyone else who qualified.
Shakeiwake - the next 15%.
Combosubi - the next 20%.
Maegashiroll - the remaining players, roughly 55% of the qualified field. This is where most active, consistent players land.
Chance-Chancers - registered, recently-active players who haven't yet hit 50 games this month.
What is Power Score?
Power Score is a single blended number built from your average score, high score, Yahtzees per game, luck management, games played, and Daily Challenge performance - all weighted together, then adjusted by your completion rate. Players who frequently abandon games mid-way are penalized.
