The Honinbo Tournament is going really well, with 17 games having been played - over halfway by my reckoning. White seems to have the upper hand here, going 14-3 so far, but this is most likeley due to the fact that, as our first "official" event, handicaps *might* be off just a bit! To compensate, all ranks will be adjusted relativistically based on results for the next event, i.e. anyone losing 66% of their games will go up one rank (and thus get another handicap stone) and those winning 66% or better will drop a rank, (giving another stone). Anyone who finishes between these percentages will stay where they are, and will get/give another stone to those who got adjusted!
Get it? ;)
And now it can be revealed - the trophy for the Honinbo - to be inscribed with the winner's name and possessed for the year of tenure as the Green Mountain Honinbo...
I think he/she should have a name - what do you think?

My (quite obvious) vote is Ganesha, after the Hindu elephant god. Feel free to suggest multiple names! Winner will be decided by majority vote. Have fun!
