Ohhh what i see here...... i just overlook it but now im gonna point it.

Who is this little new mafia baby boy? CROwolf, they are now branded his news gang members, well guys we have to take this business into our hands, before it was against 2 CRO and now we face 3 CRO.

But they dont know we know the "good" cro who is Rikafip, he is gonna help us against the gang. And i think one more good guy can be on our side.

Just in case, im joking crowolf, welcome aboard.

You know how it is, 2 days before people start searching for the thread and submissions triple. Gonna happen again this year - no doubt about it.

Not bad opening games for LFC - I think we'll hammer Atletico at Anfield and Galata shouldn't pose a serious problem. They went all in on Osimhen - who will probably still be injured for that game.
They started well in the league but their team is badly balanced - LFC will take advantage of that.

Yeah we mean business this season, many bookies have us as favourites to win the CL this season. I’m not quite so sure myself, it will depend on how the new players settle. PSG are still a massive threat but we only lost to them on penalties and we have strengthened.

I booked a hotel in Budapest by the way on dates of the final, it’s on booking.com with free cancellation incase we don’t make it

The Champions League will start soon after the league ends this week, including this UCL pool, but I still haven't paid yet, haha.

So, for now, we're not using Superbru for predictions anymore?

So far 13 paid, no hurry, people

Buwaytress, I want to know when the payment deadline is.
Is there any leeway until the end of the month?

[Strongkored]

Judging by the points breakdown, this season will be even more exciting, with not only penalty points but also bonus points.
Likewise, in club competitions, I have high hopes Arne Slot can lead Liverpool to the Champions League trophy this season.

So when will the predictions be available?

[buwaytress]

No. Everything is now P2P haha. OP should have all the details and more. No more unknown third-party people (you can consider joker_josue and myself known heh).  I had pinged everyone to inform weeks away with tests and what not, but you still have time!

The deadline is 16 September, but I'll consider late joiners case by case, just PM me with specifics. I'll do my best to accommodate!

In past seasons, I've paid first but because some actually end up never paying me back or leaving AFTER the season starts, I'm going to be stricter this time and just mark such participants with a negative Trust rating if they don't pay by their own deferred deadline.

I like how everyone ignoring Barca tho, makes me feel hopeful

idk, Barcelona is being overlooked ever since Messi left but yeah if I had to pick one team to win UCL then there is always gonna be 1-2 teams better than Barcelona as an option

OP updated

Tons of new information especially on the scoring system. I'll probably learn it along the way after it runs

Wait who? Dang, you need to spill the tea because Im itching to know who might pull such a thing

As for me, Im gonna join and pay in few days before the deadline obviously 

[slaman29]

I'm in, thanks OP. Quite simple picks for this first round, but the stakes going down to only 6 makes me think very hard now. Usually I can just throw most of it at a big hit and save 1 or 2 for a 'sure thing' but with 6 it seems very more careful.

I might save a stake also, until I can see how teams perform.

Some very tempting big odds waiting too

I lost money a lot on Barca these many few years in CL. Luckily in La Liga they are paying me back especially since last 2 seasons, hope they do the same this one in CL

[buwaytress]

Don't worry, most of it should be familiar with anyone who's played Superbru and the past two seasons of this pool. It looks a lot, but really it's a matter of predicting the final scoreline and then throwing a few stakes around for big points.

Nah, I'm too classy to say names heh heh

Yeah, very curious to see how bonus points works out but we do need a large enough sample size of players to really see a difference. I think 30 is the minimum to get a good idea of how bonus points work out.

You should be able to enter predictions now!

Ah, now it's time to not only read the rules but also try to think them through, I'm not ready for such intellectual feats now, I hope I'll be able to do it around Sunday-Monday  At first glance, the changes are insignificant, the bonuses will not be so large compared to the main distribution of points.
One thing I didn't understand - if I already registered last season, does my PIN work or do I need to register again?

[joker_josue]

You'll need to re-register. The platform has undergone major changes, and this will be necessary this season. We hope that in future seasons this will no longer be necessary (just the registration fee).

Here we go!

Finally paid for participation. First it looked that Champions league is somewhere far away, but actually it finally begins next week. I missed test rounds during qualification playoffs, so, can't wait to try how things works on new platform.
First round games is divided into 3 days - I like it because it means that I will be able to see more games.

@buwaytress
Finally took some time to reregister, then had to check the rules to see what has changed.... So if I understand correctly, this time Score Prediction Outcome Prediction towards one reward.

One question 5% penalty is worded like this

5. Any player with 0 points won in a single Matchday will incur a 5% penalty to their current Total.

so that means we lose 5% of our total points accrued from both Score Prediction Outcome Prediction?
That is one hell of a penalty towards the later stages of the tournament. Not complaining, it gives better chance to catch back just making sure I understand. And sorry if it was already discussed before, I admit I was a bit away from this thread until now.

Don't worry, it's quite straightforward once you've submitted your picks. Soon it'll be second nature. Welcome back!

Yeah there's only one leaderboard now, everything you get from Score and Outcome counts towards a single total.

So yes, the penalty applies to your entire total... it is a painful penalty, and because it is cumulative (every penalty is a 5% of the total), scoring 0 points again and again will almost certainly ensure you can't climb back up.

This is to curtail the "go crazy and try win big" behaviour that instigated the most complaints in the past haha.

[mv1986]

If I am not mistaken, this question has not been asked yet, but from the German Bundesliga pool I know it is important.

b. A Close score: 2 points
- Player predicts correct 1x2, but is off by 1 goal
- Player predicts correct 1x2 and goal difference, but is off by 2 goals

Does this mean that in case of a Team A vs. team B and a final result of 1-1, the pick "2-2" and pick "3-3" would still both count as a close score? And if it ends 1-1, the pick "4-4" would only count as result?

Sorry if I missed when it has been discussed elsewhere.

[slaman29]

One more day left to this pool starts and seems still that people are very late to join, hope you guys don't start getting lazy.

In fact it is quite disappointing to see the Champions League spam thread so active and nobody joining from there lol

If I was a forum mod I'd be learning a lot of things from this fact

[buwaytress]

We now have 18 participants! Keep them coming people.

Thanks for the question, don't worry, keep asking even if already.

So the Score Prediction is very much like Superbru in terms of the Base points. You have Correct, Close, and Exact . Close is just like Superbru, where you are either only off by 1 goal OR by 2 goals but same goal difference.

So Final Result : 1-1 means you get a Close score only with "0-0" and "2-2" (in both cases, you are off by 2 goals but same goal difference). 3-3 only counts as a Correct score.

The full rules are on this doc (also in OP) if you're curious about the bonus points =)

[BABY SHOES]

Thank you @buwaytress.

I have now submitted my score predictions and bets on the new, easier platform.

Betting predictions are now easier with only Total Goals, BTTS & 1X2 options, compared to last season which was slightly different.

[rohang]

Thanks for invite, would love to join but not sure if or when i can pay. I think ill stay out

Goodluck to everyone playing

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

Obviously I can't miss out this season but was just a little occupied and forgot about the pool.
Thank you buwaytress for the reminder, paid.
Lets have fun guys...

Answers sent, checked
Last minute joiners arriving to the thread, checked


Seem like we are back for another season of top notch CL football. Thanks for organizing buwaytress and thanks to everyone else involved in making this happen like the sponsor Rollbit (probably hhampuz had his fingers in this one) and joker_josue for the page. Looking forward to see how all this will pan out.
