[harizen]

Akala ko may na-missed akong 1 set of matches. Nagpahinga pala ang prediction. Pag weekend kasi bihira ako makapaglapag. May mga natapos na ring laban today. At habang pinopost ko ito may apat ng naglalaro at patapos na rin. Maaga ang mga games ngayon a.

Less than a minute na lang and magsisimula na rin tong 7. and 8. games. Nakaabot pa lol.

7. Toronto Raptors

8. Orlando Magic

9. Los Angeles Clippers

[ralle14]

Nakalimutan ko maaga pala simula ng mga laro ngayon at parang napaganda pa ang pagkalimot ko sa mga laro dahil ang daming upsets. Kahit malakas mag cover ang Wizards sa road aasa pa rin ako sa Clippers.

11. Los Angeles Clippers

Day 25 Ranking

Top 3 remained strong. Carlisle1 4-day positive points streak ended today. Middle ranks were shaking with lesser ties. Next matches will be posted tomorrow. 

On other sports which deserved huge applause. We have a new world boxing champion in Johnriel Casimero. He earned the WBO bantamweight strap yesterday scoring a 3rd round stoppage over former long time champion Zolani Tete at Birmingham, England. In the SEA Games, the Philippines also started very strong on the medal tally race. Happy weekdays everyone. Stay positive.       


Eliminated participants:
1. Sanitough (6) - eliminated in day 5
2. able1337 (5) - eliminated in day 5
3. mirakal (6) - eliminated in day 7
4. TGD (5) - eliminated in day 7
5. Question123 (8.) - eliminated in day 10
6. Vaculin (7) - eliminated in day 11

Rankings can also be seen, 3rd post in the first page, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5197850.msg52950009#msg52950009


Important reminder:

NO NEW PARTICIPANTS AFTER DAY 30 MATCHES

With regards to the 60-day elimination round. Let us not accept any new participants after day 30 matches. It diminishes the spirit of the game. The possibility that most of the participants will continue to have low scores but were able to survive elimination, it is a good accomplishment already and they deserved the rights to fight for the top 10. We cannot allow new participants to just hopped in, take advantage and try their luck in the late stage of the elimination period.

This additional rule also means that those below the top 10 ranks need to step up. It is either they face the risk of elimination in order to reach the top 10 or stay below top 10 which doesn't make any sense. Remember, top 10 participants if feeling safe can stop predicting and hold on with their points. But for those trying to top the ranking in the First Stage, they do have an advantage during the Final Stage.

***In case of a tie in the runner ups, the First Stage ranking acts as the tie-breaker.  

         

ONLY TOP 10 RANKED PARTICIPANTS LEFT IN THE GAME ENDS THE FIRST STAGE BEFORE 60 DAYS

Because the championship round or the final stage matters most. So if only the top 10 players remained in the game, they can stop predicting and just hold on with their points. So we would rather end the First Stage early and proceed to the final and championship round.

In case of inactive participants as the only remaining survivors outside the top 10, they will be informed thru pm with a deadline if they want to continue.

I hope this newly added mechanics of the game simplifies and clarifies everything.

that is something not good to see but since i did not get negative eh masaya na din ako.

and proud being in 5th now.


and Congrats to Casimero for having another Belt for us Pinoys.

[cabalism13]

Top 3 remained strong...

And only a little bit more we will have a Top 10 with only 10 Users on the line. Only the 8th position is currently being shared by two users and the rest is being kept by a single user. This is pretty interesting, the users below the top ranks seems to be tired of voting so I think we will be going unto the next stage earlier than expected.

Another negative day for me at laking epekto nito sa rankings, lumagapak na ako sa top 11 at naway wag naman magpatuloy.
wala tayong game for tomorrow?

To all SEAGAMES Pinoy athletes congratulations to those who got their medals and who dont but made their best for it.

KABAYAN, ingat po tayo sa ating mga bahay-bahay at wag muna mag gala, malakas si bagyong tisoy.

I was wondering if these people are still following this

Ayos lang yan makakabawi ka rin bro. Mahirap din kasi e predict yung mga games lately. Pag nag ka taon baka gaganda rin ang mga spreads yung tipong sure win hehehe.

[chaser15]

Lumalakas sipa ni chaser15 ah, from the brink of elimination tapos ngayon kumakatok na sa top 10.

Actually natanggal na talaga haha. Buti may nagpa-review pero di ko na rin nilaban kasi -1 lang naman kaya hayaan ko na. Buti minsg ako ni OP.

Pero malayo pa sa top 10. Basta tayaan ko lang lahat at baka puwede na rin ako magpahinga gaya ng mga nasa taas na nag-aantay na lang matapos tong matches. Wag lang sana ang pahinga ko is eliminated haha. Matagal pa ang contest prone na prone pa ako sa elimination.

i'm pretty sure they do kasi umabot sila sa ganito kalayo so it means na continues ang predictions nila it's just happen that some of them intentionally passed the days of predicting for safeties para di sila bumaba dahil halos dikitan ang scores last week.

[Vaculin]

sorry but I have to ask, the first round end at day 25? because I notice there's no participants posting today, I just don't see an update from OP regarding that, please educate me, I know I'm out of the competition but I just like to know what's going on here now, rarely followed it after I was eliminated.

Day 26 will be posted later today

Next matches will be posted tomorrow. 

OP has also decided to not post matches daily unlike before

~
I am thinking of not posting matches daily. It clears our minds and relax a bit more. I feel there is pressure on having many matches daily. So let's chill a bit as December is coming.

[Vaculin]

@Bttzed03.. thanks,.. maybe for those who are in the lead, they can relax, but for sure those who are in the bottom would like to post daily so they have a chance to improve their ranking.. but I really understand OP, its a tough job posting the games and then tally the score especially if he has a day job or business outside bitcointalk.

[kotajikikox]

you have a point here because the competition is near the mid and many participants are looking to get even more closer from the top 10.

. but I really understand OP, its a tough job posting the games and then tally the score especially if he has a day job or business outside bitcointalk.

but also this is right because it is hard to make this kind of event as the obligation is very strict in posting each time,and also people here has personal things to face so alternate speculation  is much better at this point forward.

lalo tuloy nagiging intense ang laban lol.

[jakelyson]

Hindi nakapag post si OP ng matches for today ah. Mukhang wala siyang internet dahil sa bagyo.

Ingat tayong lahat lalo na sa mga heavily affected ng Bagyong Tisoy.
