How about you? Can we tempt you to exit from your comfort zone (Premier League) and give it try?

Not unless it's free  . I don't really follow the league at all and would only watch a couple of the big games at most so I'd be pretty useless at it so it's not something that I would probably enjoy.

I'm in!

That is now officially 10 of us in the pool and we have a nice pot of 0.035BTC (0.025 buy in + 0.1 sponsor) for rewards at the moment. First milestone is hit, now we need to get ourselves to 15 players so we can get additional sponsor money as well.

Go spread the word, the league is starting on September 19th. I am expecting Superbru will open the league for tournaments at least 10 days before it starts.

18 days left and a friendly bump of this thread! 

The schedule for Serie A 2020/2021 season was released earlier today, and i saw the predictor was added to Superbru as well, so i guess we should be good to go.

Lazio vs Atalanta highlights matchday 1, full schedule can be found here: https://www.worldfootball.net/all_matches/ita-serie-a-2020-2021/

They just added it, I checked this morning and there was nothing for Serie A. There is still plenty of time left for more players to join so spread the word guys

I will create our pool tomorrow and send out the links via pm to all the paid participants. It seems Italian guys need a bit of more rest then rest of the major leagues. Premier League and Serie A start in about 9 days.

[big_daddy]

First round, one big interesting match right on the season opening:
Lazio vs. Atalanta
Very difficult to predict and a must watch one

[Trofo]

Our pool is up and ready for joining. I have sent out the PM's to those who paid already. There is 10 of us for now but still more than 15 days to go, so hopefully we will manage to drag ourselves to that magic number of 15 and some extra sponsor money

Correction:

There is eleven of us!!!  I'm in, had to choose between the two pool you are running as I won't have time to manage both, so Seria A one over La liga one, as I like the matches here more and have more clubs that interest me in Seria A, plus I think the quality of football in Seria A is improving as I write

Welcome -CryptoViking-

Make sure you send to Trofo the tx id asap and the superbru username so you can start making your predictions for the first round

[casperBGD]

welcome all the participants, you can already make your picks for the first round (i did it) and wait for the beginning

there are several good matches, with Fiorentina and Torino as the opener

does anyone knows why three matches from the first round are delayed postponed, Lazio - Atalanta included

[morvillz7z]

Newbie question here, if a match is postponed or delayed, when should we make our predictions, as scheduled, or we can do that later (whatever date that match is moved to)? I'm just new to Superbru and don't want to make any major screw-ups. 

does anyone knows why three matches from the first round are delayed postponed, Lazio - Atalanta included

Atalanta and Inter are likely given more time than the rest of the teams because of their CL/EL campaigns last month. Which is the third postponed match though?

You don't have to think about that. Superbru will offer you the games to pick results. Just enter everything that is offered on that day and you are good to go.

If the game is postponed suddenly it is maybe good not to lock your picks. For instance game could be postponed because one team is in quarantine an hour before the match and moved months later. If you don't lock the pick you will be able to change them again when the game is actually played.

third is between Udinese and Spezia, maybe this can be the reason for Atalanta, Inter, but why not Juventus, and Udinese and Spezia does not have any sense because of Europe
did not bother to look for the reason, if anyone knows, will be good to know

Good to know and thanks for the explanation!

Apparently Spezia have requested their game from matchweek 1 to be rescheduled because they didn't have enough time to prepare for the new season. As you know they had to qualify via play-offs in Serie B. Here is a google-translated quote from lanazione.it

The reason for the request is the reduced time that the Ligurian team will have to prepare for the championship compared to its competitors: in fact, Spezia only played the final of the play offs against Frosinone on 20 August, which resulted in promotion to the top flight.

[buwaytress]

Superbru will always inform you with picks you need to make in any changes. And, from the Dashboard, you will be alerted how many picks you have to make in the next 24 hours and next 72 hours (there will be an exclamation mark in red to alert you). PLUS you will get an email with a direct link to make your picks.

That happened last season with Champions League rescheduling, so no worries about that!

I thought that Serie A starts this weekend together La Liga and EPL, but it will only begin on 19th. Plenty of time for me to make reasearch before making predictions. I haven't folllowed Serie A that much, except top games. Names like Verona, Cagliari or Crotone don't tell me much, I can't name any their players. So, I have to check squads of teams, last season results, transfers to get better general image.

Same thing for me, I've been put of the loop in general lately and only know basic stuff about major teams, while I'm mostly in the dark when it comes to some teams that used to be great before and now suck like Udinese and such. I will probably have to do some reading before the first round to learn more.

Basically the names of the teams you mention are familiar in my memory and in my ears, there are so many promoted teams that can last a long time in Serie A and not and the teams you mention are only Crotone who are the promotion team this season, the two promoted teams next are Benevento and Spezia. I personally don't analyze too much for a correct score prediction because it's a tough job for me, because even though we can only put in place who won I think that's good enough.

[buwaytress]

I've been playing a little bit on the friendlies and not doing well at all, not that it's anything to go by!

Have a feeling we'll see quite high scores in some games, and then a couple of 0-0s in the first week. I'm still playing around with my picks though, hope Atalanta retains their momentum but personally want to see Lazio pushing for it with a very fit Lucas Leiva bossing the midfield!
