The time is here, EURO 2024 is a few days away!

We will start with the general round of questions. They are about the overall tournament and will be settled throughout multiple rounds, some of them at the end of the competition.
We will post Round 1 questions on Wednesday and both sets of questions need to be answered before the first deadline (Friday 17:00 GMT).

Only the losers of Round 1 will be eliminated, General round awards extra points throughout the competition but does not serve for elimination purposes.
In this round there is a maximum of 15 points to be won across 10 questions, we hope you like them.

Questions for the General round can be found here!
 
The deadline is Friday Jun 14th, 17:00 GMT (forum time).

You can check the submission spreadsheet here, the answers will be shown after the deadline has passed.

Please read the rules once again to better understand how not to get eliminated and what to do in case you do, and install the Telegram bot so you receive notifications on time. We will tag more often during the Euros - both for BSFL and Last Man Standing but don't count on us babysitting you all the time.

I'm tagging the ones that have registered for the competition. fruy8 and SATWAT aren't members of any other Sportsbet pools so they need to send the entry fee before the start of the tournament to be eligible.

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Over
4. Boston
5. Dallas
6. Dallas
7. Boston

There will actually be 2 rounds of questions before the 1st game. One will be a general round for the whole competition (it will go live today) and on Wednesday we will post questions that are specifically for Round 1.
We plan to have more players, anybody can apply before the submission deadline (Friday) and we will still tag players that have free entry because they are a part of SB pools and are maybe unaware of this competition.
Maybe we reach 60?


Joselu is a part of the Spanish team yes, but don't waste your time on insignificant webpages

Added as well, I did not want to go this path because the player will probably not resolve his case now - at least not here.
Fairlay wasn't on BTT anyway, so they will probably just ignore the thread (and BTT) from now on.

I'll support a flag as well if @newfish1 raises it.

Draws are killing me, man. They were the reason I got relegated last year and will be the reason I won't get promoted this time.
I had 6 of them last year, league average was 2,12. I currently have 4, average is 2,25.

________________________________________

Good to see that I'm still in contention for promotion regardless of my shitty recent performances. Next duel against arallmuus is crucial.

Don't worry, the rules are here to cover all situations. Basically it means there are some questions about the games to answer and some points to be won if you've picked correctly.
Seems a lot harder than it actually is, we started BSFL without anybody knowing anything about the format and were cruising after a few rounds.

Just ask if something's not clear, a new set of questions has been posted in the BSFL thread so feel free to answer if you want to to get a hang of it.

Alcaraz simply has an extra gear when needed. He played a really good tournament and deserves the title, he'll be the biggest favorite for the upcoming Olympic games as well.
Would have been interesting if Đoković didn't forfeit, but probably wouldn't end differently.

Swiatek on the other hand made an already boring sport barely watchable.

Only a few rounds left, still can't get a win if my life depended on it. Actually have to be happy that such a poor performance gave me a draw.

We have our Division 3 Playoffs semifinals winners!

Division 3A
entebah - Dittoup   0-6
Rikafip - B1g4udge   5-5 (Rikafip penalties win)

Division 3B
Patikno - MAAManda   2-6
goodpunt - bullrun2020bro   4-6

Some huge results (WTF Dittoup ) and some crazy comebacks (congrats Rikafip)..

The Division 3 playoff final pairs are:

Division 3A - Dittoup - Rikafip
Division 3B - MAAManda - bullrun2020bro

Both winners will be directly promoted to Division 2 thanks to casperBGD's withdrawal from Division 1.

________________________________________

Round 13/playoff questions are here!

The deadline is Tuesday Jun 11th, 17:00 GMT.

We have a bit of EUROs, NBA and NHL playoffs, Le Mans race and some Trofo computer games again.

________________________________________

We also have Round 12 freebet winners to announce:

Division 1 - vd309 (40$ freebet)
Division 2 - Ulven (30$ freebet)

Division 3 doesn't have freebets during the playoffs.

Playoffs:

Division 3A: Dittoup- Rikafip
Division 3B: MAAManda - bullrun2020bro

The vast majority selected 'yes' because they played either in BSFL or the World Cup 2022 promo that we had - therefore we don't feel extra info is needed.
For the few of you that don't really understand it everything will be much clearer after the 1st round of questions that are coming tomorrow evening.
The deadline is Friday so you'll have enough time to go through them and ask whatever you need, and after that it's just about collecting the points and not finishing last.

You can always check our BSFL thread, in the 3rd post there are links with previous questions. Check them out to see how they are written and what's expected.

Fixed!

______________________

We can also announce that the most Div3 playoff winners are known, just the results aren't.
The only one left open is Rikafip - B1g4udge, it will be settled either on ice hockey tonight or on penalties, where the minute of the 1st goal will decide.

Dittoup is waiting for the winner in the promotion playoff final.

In Div 3B it's all clear, MAAManda will face bullrun2024bro.

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Over
4. Dallas
5. Boston

I'm speaking more long-term. Spain was the best in the world, all of the top clubs were looking for Italian players not so long ago and Croatia was everybody's dark horse with our midfield trio.
Spain is now far from the best, Italy has 30 decent players to pick from but no gamechangers and Croatia's midfield trio lacks the legs to repeat the success of the previous tournaments.

They are still really good teams, don't get me wrong. It's just my opinion that both Italy and Spain were a lot stronger 4 years ago.

Fair enough, I expect to be equally bad at this one so you were carefully handpicked
I won't go against heavy hitters for sure, with you and buwaytress both out of the equation only icopress or igebotz can increase my budget.

Icopress did shame me with our previous bet though. Revenge time?

Patience, my man. Don't start celebrating too early..

I graded only the 3rd Divisions, I will do others after the final. It's double work and nobody's got that much time

_____________________________________________

To be honest, this was a brilliant performance against one of the best teams around. I'm hyped for the EUROs now.

Wanna do one on who wins the most matchdays? 5mBTC or somewhere around that.

_____________________________________

I will think about a few more sidebets I'm willing to make, but I'll probably do them for the results/placements etc and not fantasy. This format isn't my cup of tea.

Yup, they got 6 wins and there was 1 draw. We scored 4 goals in these 7 games, all of them in the last 3.

As you said, we had them in EURO 2016, we really should have won that game. One of the worst losses for me, although nothing beats Semih Senturk.

I'm really sorry that I wasn't able to include #97, it required huge effort and was my favorite for a while. #15 was really close as well.

Ma jasno da hoće, u okviru velikih lokalnih boardova će se poslati par PM-ova i gurati svoje. I da to želimo, premali smo - ali ja ću osobno glasati za onu s raketom i još par kojih sam si stavio na shortlistu bez da gledam čije su.

Osim toga, šta ste drugo očekivali od talijana? Pa oni su veći cigani i od nas

That's why I feel that the 'Group of Death' isn't really that.
You have Albania as the 4th team, and anybody with 3 points should be safe to go through as a 3rd team from the group.

When you see teams like Spain, Italy and Croatia grouped together, it might seem so - but in this format I think all 3 teams are going through.

Then again, all these teams are in a downward trajectory.

I knew that the handicap the bookies gave on Boston was too low. They are a team with a lot more width.

Now it all comes down to the Portugal - Croatia friendly. That's why I put a 2mBTC bet on ralle14's choice, which is a Portugal win with BTTS.
The odds are ~3.60, so I either win some money or I don't lose this important duel.

The worst scenario would be Croatia not losing, that would cost me 2mBTC and would bring me only a draw.

@ralle14, you hedging as well?
