Yahtzee Banzuke
August 2026
In sumo, the banzuke is the official ranked list of wrestlers, hand-brushed onto scrolls and posted ahead of each tournament - a tradition stretching back to the 1700s. Ours borrows that same spirit: a fresh ranking every month, one that tries to capture what actually makes a great Yahtzee player - not just raw scoring, but the mix of skill, determination, and luck that makes the game worth playing in the first place. Register now!
Yahtzeezuna The grand champion tier - sumo's highest rank, reimagined. Reaching it takes a Power Score of 80 or higher, a bar set deliberately high: it's not simply first place, it's a genuinely dominant month across average score, high score, Yahtzees per game, and more. Some months nobody may clear the bar at all - it isn't guaranteed to be filled, and that's by design.
Diceki The top 10% of everyone who qualified for Power Ranking this month. These are consistently strong, active players just below the very top; reliable contenders who show up often and score well, even if they haven't broken into the rarefied Yahtzeezuna air.
Shakeiwake The next 15% of the qualified field. Solidly above-average performers who play often enough and score well enough to clearly separate themselves from the pack, without yet reaching the top tiers.
Combosubi The next 20%. A respectable middle standing, these players are qualifying regularly and putting up decent numbers, forming the upper half of the broader field.
Maegashiroll The rank and file, and the largest single tier - roughly the remaining 55% of everyone who qualifies for Power Ranking. This is where most active, consistently-playing members land. There's no shame in Maegashiroll; it's the backbone of the whole standing.
Chance-Chancers Hasn't yet cleared Power Ranking's bar of 50 games in the last 30 days. No Power Score to rank by yet, so this group is instead ordered by lifetime games played. Keep playing regularly and you'll work your way into a real tier next month.
