Hello everyone, here is the update after the first day in the 1/8 Finals

A special note regarding these provisional standings:
Users that see their name in bold and with and '*' in front of their name, means that they have used their "joker" for this phase and had their points doubled, or were awarded 1 point in case they scored 0.

Like we said you can only use one "joker" per knockout phase, so if you want you can decline the benefit until the end of this day and we will update the points accordingly. If you do so, and since the second betting day is already on, you will not be participating on today's challenge but you will be able to have another go on the last day of the 1/8 Finals.

If at the end of this "betting day" (00h UTC) you didn't inform us that you wish to decline the "joker" you already won, it will become definitive.

Let us know if you have any doubts.
Good luck!

Hi, I think I really don't understand how gap system really works. Is based on a % daily gain between 0 and 10 is awarded by 1 one point, 10-20 wit 2 p, right?  If so, why didn't get 1 point from yesterdays bet?

Hello jordixal, I will explain giving as an example your "betting day" vs your opponent.
First lets keep these intervals present,

Normal point system
- Based on gaps:
Gap < 10% -> 1 point
Gap 10% - 20% -> 2 points
Gap > 20% 3 points

Now, like I said I will use your daily ROI% vs Bolt Brownie

So in the first day of the 1/8 Finals (18th to 19th October 00h UTC)
jordixal: 2.60
Bolt Brownie: 13.03 %

So here we have a difference of 10.43%. That fits in the second gap interval so Bolt Brownie was awarded 2 points from the normal point system.
But we also have the extra point system, where users will see their points doubled if they win a challenge.
For the 18th October the daily challenge was: "Winning bet at the highest odds (minimum odds @1.2)"

This is your winning bet at highest odds:
https://directbet.eu/BetStatus.cshtml?BetID=DLb8SoaMkSJhPE6ofazZ5LuydARi7FEntc (Message : Toto won at odds of 3.24)

Here is Bolt Brownie winning bet at highest odds:
https://directbet.eu/BetStatus.cshtml?BetID=1Eajat3TkrV7RsKen1uFQx7hDXqDbRGshm Message : (Toto won at odds of 5.62)

As you can see, Bolt Brownie won a parlay with odds of 5.62, so he won the daily challenge, which means he got his points doubled.
That's why he was awarded 4 points on the first day of the competition.

Please note that users can only use the "joker" once, so he already used his, and you can still use yours, as long as you win on of the next two daily challenges. Here is the Daily Challenges schedule for the 1/8 Finals:

18th October: Winning bet at the highest odds (minimum odds @1.2) (passed)
19th October: Highest number of wins during the day (minimum odds @1.2)
20th October: Parlay won with the highest number of selections (minimum odds @1.8)

If you have any more doubts please let us know.
Good luck!

I have a doubt regarding the extra point system, but first I would like to confirm that I can still receive any prizes from the side competition only at the end of the main competition, as it already happened in the last edition.

Now the doubt regarding the normal point system:

I know I already used my joker, and since I want to keep the benefit I know I can't double my points again, but my question is if I can "steal" the joker from my opponents. Let's say that today I have the "Highest number of wins during the day". I can't get my points doubled but if I win this, that means that my opponent didn't win the challenge so no one will get their points doubled, is that correct?

Thank you very much! With your given example of yesterday, now I  perfectly understand how point system works. So, first , thz for your quick reply and second thz for your explanation.

Yep, that's about right. You can receive the prizes only at the end of the competition, if you prefer, and yes, if you can prevent your opponent from winning a challenge (and you have already won a challenge yourself), neither of you will get your points doubled.

Hello everyone, here is the update after the second day of the 1/8 Finals.

Important note: Please take special attention to the number of bets. The 1/8 Finals have 3 "betting days", so as stated in the rules, since you need an average of 3 bets per day, that means you need to place a minimum of 9 bets total, for this phase.

If you fail to do so, you will not advance to the next round, even if you make more points than your opponent.

Good luck!

Sorry I have one question how to determine the winner qualifying for the next round if they have the same points and has placed 9 bets
because I saw some participants including myself have a points difference is not too high so each participant still has a chance

I think they use ROI%, but not the daily one, I think the one used for the main competition.
I just don't know how they use it. If it is by the time they count the points, or if they use those competition periods and only check it at 00h UTC of the day they check points and announce winners etc

Anything that I would agree but we need to hear the answer of the contest manager at least to avoid misunderstandings in the final later
by the way you seem to be in a safe position with 3 points it is difficult for hahay to chase your points unless hahay won parlay with higher odds
and won the challenge today.

Hello Google+, we use Global ROI% (the one used to determine the winner of the main competition).
We normally take that ROI% in consideration by the time we check the points if both users don't have any open bets. If they have open bets, and waiting for them to resolve will not interfere with the schedule of the next phases of the side competition, we wait.

so no updates on yesterday knockout phase points?
usually i see you make an update after 00.00 forum time , but no with yesterday
i have dropped to 50% for two times but gained back to 109 really a tight contest
too bad i have only 4 bets left so i will just keep it for the right moment .

Usually about 6 hours from now OP will post the results point  
I saw your last bet it was really awesome unfortunately bets do not qualify for the side competition  for bets placed when the ROI calculation ends ( Okt 21 ) while all bets today does not affect to point .

You only have 4 bets but a really good score, although in this edition things are really competitive. Last edition your ROI% was enough for me to get second place, and on this edition at least top7 is really close to get that ROI%. Really hard competition. I still have a lot of bets to make on both accounts, but after last parlay with Roma making me lose the bet that way I don't even know if having so many bets to make is good or not lol

Waiting for the announcement to see who is my opponent on the quarter finals of the side competition xD

Wew I lost in the global ROI   congratulations White Sugar you beat me  
though I lost I still like this competition good luck everyone
I honestly do not understand all the rules on a points system but it's my fault, I will try to better understand it in the next competition

Hmm, the rules can seem a bit complicated at first, but here's an outline of how the points are distributed in any given day of the Knockout Phase (and the process for the Group Phase is very similar as well):

• We check to make sure both participants placed bets on that day - we start here since anyone who didn't place at least one bet on a given day can't receive points for that day.
• We then check that day's change in ROI for both participants, and attribute 1, 2 or 3 points to the one with the greatest increase in ROI (or the least loss of ROI, if things didn't go so well, I guess ).
  So, as an example, let's say participant A increased his ROI by 5%, and participant B lost 3%. As the difference in ROI change between the two is less than 10%, participant A (the one with the highest increase in ROI that day) wins 1 point. Had the difference been between 10% and 20%, participant A would have received 2 points. A difference of more than 20% would have netted him 3 points.
• Finally, we check to see if either participant won the Daily Challenge. If so, the winner will see the points he received that day doubled or, in case he didn't receive any points that day, he will get 1 point.

Hello everyone, here is the update after the first day of the Quarter Finals!
Like it happened in the last phase, the user in bold are the ones that already used their "joker" and go their points doubled, or were awarded 1 in case they scored 0 in the normal point system.

Extra points Challenge schedule:
22nd October: Winning bet at the highest odds (minimum odds @1.2)
23rd October: Highest number of wins during the day (minimum odds @1.2)
24th October: Parlay won with the highest number of selections (minimum odds @1.8)

Good luck!

Congratulations to Bolt Brownie, what a tough rival & play-off. My 3 points weren't enough to continue in the tournament. Good luck on next rounds.
