what division am I?

You are not in any division until the next season starts. So for now you just have to select "Other"

You will be division 3 next season, for now while you are practicing please select other. Thanks Slissy for covering for us

@cryptofrka I assume there is a little mistake in the semi-final pairs you provided here! It should be me instead of Harkorede.

It is actually my mistake, he just posted it Don't worry those are easiest mistakes to make good. Check 4th post in the thread, got it sorted out for you. Formula update coming in couple of minutes.

The F1 question is obviously wrong and I apologize for that. I have no idea where I was looking - I know I saw somewhere that Monaco is scheduled.

The question has been rectified, all the people that submit later will have the correct question to answer.

The new question is:

Code:

7. Miami is a new race in the F1 calendar, having made its debut last season. Last season Verstappen won with 3.7 seconds advantage, how will the race look like this season?

The winner wins with less than 4 seconds advantage
The winner wins with 4-7 seconds advantage
The winner wins with more than 7 seconds advantage

The following players have already submitted the answers:

Code:

entebah
DireWolfM14
Jinetics1111
Harkorede
ralle14

Considering that the winning margin will probably be bigger, please send me your revised answers through PM and I will change them manually.

Thanks for reporting this and sorry once again. I wanted this type of question so bad for Monaco, doesn't look as good for the Miami race but is the easiest fix I can make at this moment.

I have sent my answer via your pm, it's not as though I even have a relevant idea about the F1, so I just went for what I believe could be one of the wrong the answers, since I'm never that lucky when randomizing my picks

Thanks for the tag, i've sent my revised answer through PM.

My answer is still similar to the previous question as I think i'm better off relying on luck when I notice that the results can change significantly from the previous season. 

[Trofo]

Also, i'm glad that we didn't have to answer the Dota question in order because the competition is much tighter than the last major tournament where there are enough hints on who's going to win.

That is why I have worded it like this, if you ask me I can't tell you which 2 teams will be in final this time around while I was 90% sure in previous tournament. That being said I feel this is actually the easiest question it could have been. I know from top of my head 3 teams that I expect will make it, just need to pick that 4th one. We will discuss it more after the deadline passes. Same for the tennis question.

[dbshck]

The semi-final pairs are the following:

Match 29 : Pulsar77 vs vd309
Match 30 : Harkorede  vs mitchr4

That's it I'm out of the cup, congrats Pulsar77! Good luck in the semis.

Right, for me it's just the two teams though, had to guess who'll take the other two:D

[mv1986]

That's a rare mistake from him, he must have I forgotten I do end up on the losing side often too, no worries I'm sure it will be corrected.

Get knocked out at this stage would not have been as painful if not for the fact of the, every point you end had to come down to almost the end of those games, I mean already went down by a goal in the 90+4 minute, in a game with 6 added minutes, but Milan tied the game in the 90+7 minute to send the lead your way first and Inter Milan, that could have just left the score at 2 goals, but scored in 90th minute again to take away that point from me, and Liverpool which felt like those 6,7-0 score game after the first 15 minutes, just couldn't keep their hands clean, huh ? So this lose definitely not on me, it just one of those days that you really get things to go your way, lol, and it was the same in the NBA with Mr. clutch player of the year (De'Aaron Fox) being unable to step is feet on the pedal today and cost me quite a fortune.

I really believe if you can win against me with those very luck circumstance, then you're most probably going all the way to win the cup, good luck once again!

Yes yes no worries, I wasn't afraid it wouldn't get corrected, I just wanted to point it out.

@Harkorede I fully agree with what you said. Nobody can reliably predict whether a goal is scored by a team in extra time or not. That was absolutely a lucky punch against you, but keep in mind that my "draw" pick was destroyed in the 94th minute so to say, which is also quite unlucky. So until the 93rd minute my pick was the correct one anyway.

Inter Milan scoring a 3rd goal wasn't on my radar either. 

In the case of the Liverpool game I was absolutely sure that Tottenham will score. 90% sure for two reasons: first, they also scored against Newcastle because I think in a game where one team has a massive lead, they often slow down and the opponent being down so many goals gets at least some chances. Second, Liverpool has been far from stable this season. They concede so many easy goals all the time and Tottenham is not a weak team per se. Even a penalty could have happened and Kane would have scored it. I didn't take the Manchester United game as an example and thought that Tottenham wouldn't score. I wasn't even sure whether Liverpool would win, that was rather my issue with that question, but I was quite sure both would score even if it is a chaotic game ending 1-1 or 2-2.

But I absolutely agree that there are days or rounds where everything out of a sudden develops to one's own benefit. I am also playing the Bundesliga prediction game and we have had situations where after 85 minutes one had a major lead, and 10 minutes later has dropped to the bottom of the table because one goal was scored in almost all of the games, all to the disadvantage of the guy leading the table of the game day.

Frankly speaking, it is also what gets us excited, doesn't it? Knowing that it could still turn around until the very last moment is what also makes a lot of fun.

[CLS63]

I'm very excited that I will play against the leader Slissy this week. I want to finish the league in top 3 this year. Therefore it will be very important for me to have at least a draw in this match. There is another Dota question this week. I will have to trust my luck again here. Frankly, I was expecting a League of Legends question as the MSI has started. It was sad for me to see a Dota question again.

[arallmuus]

It was sad for me to see a Dota question again.

Dota Major is one hell of event this whole week therefore it appears on the sets of question this week but you wont be getting them the following week after this though  but its H2H question though so pretty much anyone that have no clue about this would only need to pick favourites to ensure that you will get some points from here

Well atleast this is the method that I usually use on tennis H2H question  picking favourites and top seed

[LTU_btc]

DOTA question is one of the most difficult ones that I had to answer so far. Previously esports related questions basically were Yes/No, now you can't blindly hit one of options. I have no idea about DOTA and esports in general, so I just picked 4 random teams from the bracket. Damn, probably even NFL, baseball or cricket questions would be less random for me .
But I really need to win finally to fight for higher positions after 4 draws in a row.

Hey guys does anyone know the time when new season of BSFL league is going to start, and are there any fees new members should pay?
I see a lot of guys from our local board are here and I am thinking of joining the hype.

Hey there, you'd be joining in the 3rd Division so no fee needed - only the 1st Division participants pay the entry fee.

The next Season starts in June, you can sign up and try it out until then

Just wondering about this, so everyone that stays on the 1st division as well as those that got promoted to 1st division after this season ends will be required to pay another set of buy-in fee isnt it? I guess if somehow I am safe from relegation then you guys could just deduct 2.5 mbtc from my prize that I will receive

I'll pretend that I dont read this 

We 'might' still get few on the last round of this season



Schedule for upcoming dota event after this Major

I was thinking the same thing: deduct take the fees for next season from all teams prize except those that wanted out, although I doubt anyone would want to leave such an interesting league, but you never know. I agree with the motion.

If not you, who is responsible for that particular question trofo? God knows I have no idea what happened there, I'm merely guessing and hoping for the best.

We still haven't decided but we lean to it being deducted from the prizes, yes - it is simpler.
6.5 mBTC is the lowest reward, so paying a part of that to stay in the top league seems reasonable.

We intentionally planned it like this, so that staying in the 1st Division is always worth it. Division 1 will therefore always have to pay for the spot - it boosts rewards for other Divisions.

Always Trofo for eSports, I never watched a game of that before I met him. When we went to England he forced me to watch because we bet on it, I won and he lost. It was hillarious

[Ulven]

I provided my answers to avoid forgetting. Honestly, the hardest question was the one related to the Dota electronic games. It's been a long time since I joined watching them, but I will try to follow some events.

Will only 10 clubs be selected for each division or will we make it more, say 20 clubs? We are now only two rounds away from the end of the journey, and I am far from the qualifying positions, so I hope that the number of participating teams in each division will be updated.

First season is 12 teams per league, second season is 14 teams per league. You have more info in OP, that info includes exactly who gets promoted and who gets relegated. Our goal is to reach 20 teams per league in couple of seasons.

Future expansion plans will be made in accordance with new players sign ups. We will always run first 2 divisions exactly as announced while third divison is the one which will be considered as development league. Meaning it can start with less players or more and we will even tolerate things like starting few rounds late for those that sign up at later date.

Will all future seasons last for 6 months like the second? The first season will last around 4 months if I'm not mistaken.

As for the questions, the more we get closer to the end of the season, the questions seems harder and harder. I hope that I will win this one against famososMuertos and secure my title

[slaman29]

Man this Dota question is so hard to look for information or even betting help from. I forgot the site that Trofo shared, but luckily I found an updated site just a few minutes ago that tells me... nothing I don't know except 2 teams for sure in the final lol

Anyway, good luck to all, especially to Harkorede for meeting me!!

[cryptofrka]

It's not yet defined. We initially imagined a year-long seasons once the leagues reach 20 participants per league, but now actually feel that smaller leagues are more dynamic and fun.
We have Season 2 in a bit of a bigger format so we'll see how it is - we still need to weigh pros and cons of both systems.

We can either run 2 seasons yearly with 14-16 teams per league or a big yearly season with 20-24 participants per league. We will take our time to make a smart decision about this.
