sorry to ask but I'm kind of confused on the WTA side of us open question. Is the question referring to whoever is gonna win the WTA or is it referring to Swiatek and Sabalenka sets only.

It could be any of the WTA players still in the tournament and the question only pointed to Swiatek and Sabalenka because they're always the players who reach the finals.

I was also confused when answering this question because I thought the matches starting this week until the finals were the only ones counted for the sets they'll drop.

I'm sure neither of the Trofo nor Cryptofrka would be expecting answers or submissions to come in today right ?

If there were to be any incentive for submitting early, I could have tried to be the first for the first time ever today, I don't think I rank amongst the people who really likes to leave it late, I don't think my name have even come in the reminder list more than 3-4 times, I'm actually curious to know who has the least number of reminders so far this season.

I have already have all my answers readily saved, but I'm sure any person who has been following Tennis lately would already the amount of upsets and crazy comebacks which happened so in the US Open.

I need almost perfect performance in remaining rounds if I don't want to relegate, so, I will wait until final moment to avoid any possible upsets which may happen before the deadline. In womens tournament we already have Swiatek eliminated, Pegula is probably worth mentioning too.

It's been a crazy tournament, we'll all we would have at least an American ATP semi-finalist, I wonder if they didn't need to eliminate each just so early enough how many of them would be left in the tournament, It's crazy a ride to get to that ATP and WTA level but it get's tougher to break into top seeds, the toughest to maintain any spot!

I thought Zverev and Jannik Sinner would play for eternity

It's about the winner of the WTA final. It may not be Swiatek and Sabalenka in the final, but How many sets do you think the winner of the WTA final will lose. for example Sabalenka wins 3-2 in the final then the correct answer is "2" because Sablaneka lost 2 sets.

Still misleading, it is about the winner whoever that ends up to be, but it is how many sets ahe will lose in whole tournament. Basically you have to predict winner, check how many sets she already lost and predict her path to final. Wicked question, especially now that Swiatek is out. It was asked in that way to cover just that possibility of favourite dropping out.

And one more point, women play best of three, so  every winner can lose only one set per match

Thanks for the clarifications on WTA. I actually assumed it was from today onwards (r4 onwards) but I guess the question got me stumped anyway. Some are perfect some already drop 3 sets, it's a real dice game with tennis, even more so with WTA lol.

I bet you the FIBA question got loads of surprises, it's not all as it seemes with USA even dropping a game to Lithuania

Damn! It was a good thing I was up late last night! I thought this was a trick question and only applied to the final and not to the whole tournament 😂 Of course I know they only play 3 sets 😁 Thanks for the clarification😁

You just never know with these sports, soccer was the only sport becoming rather very unpredictable, but tennis have had me questioned myself about how much I really think I actually know, going into some game.

Tiafoe is most clumsy player imo, I would predicted him not to make the 3 round or the 2nd week, but here we are, but I'm sure Shelton is the one to lookout for here with the kind of zone he is in right now and, with that service game that seem miles ahead of what Tiafoe could contend with or have up his sleeves.

And just like Buwaytress said, who would have thought France are not a heavy underdog against New Zealand when it comes to Rugby without the need to check ? Not me, and that's another question the lines drawn are very marginal and complicating too.

@cryptofrka I like this format, it's really intense, 2-legged seems tiring, but hey, we're all eager to slug it out. Of course, there will be guys like Igebotz who need more stamina, getting tired by Round 10 haha

If the two-legged game is going to net us more money, why not? At the very least, it will mean more freebets to play with, but I honestly believe the two-legged game will be exhausting unless we have two matches a week to keep up the pace. Back to your statement: I'm not tired; I'm just disappointed in myself; I started strong and ended extremely weak; 0 + -1 point for last submission in the last two months is insane. I hate to tell it, but my luck has run out since football season began; things were lot better with DOTA and F1 questions. You've been excellent this season and deserve to be at the top; I hope you don't bottle it like Liverpool.

You just never know with these sports, soccer was the only sport becoming rather very unpredictable, but tennis have had me questioned myself about how much I really think I actually know, going into some game.

I go into these football questions with much confident with little or no research at all and that's whats killing my rank.

Aside that a longer period would only mean bigger rewards for twice as much the time spent, I'd rather we have every season over with within a short time frame, just like the status quo, as there are season long pools already, this being a long rally too would only it make rather such a cliché, and I think the biggest fun of this tournament is how short and fluctuating the ranking can get in the short period, A longer period would have people wear out before the end of it especially due to the dynamism of its multi-sports criteria which is already engaging enough for the likes of us that participate in every other pool, just to be clear I'm not against to legged ties, I think that'd even be an improvement to competition quality, but what I'm against is if a takes a rather longer period, and having two fixture in one week, might not be a bad way at that if we have let's say 4 questions and 2 H2H ones per fixture, making it a total of 12 questions instead of the accustomed 10 we currently, but the down side to that, a person not submitting a missing the deadline might not be giving a player an advantage but two players an advantage now.

I'm in for any betterment or competition intensified checks and updates added to this that does not have to involve spending a very longer period of play.
Personally for me, with the NBA fast approaching I really can't say how well I'd fare or the spare extra free hours I'd have daily, given the curricular activities I would have to check-in with every other week too, and Sorare being a newly found adventure too is just making everyday feels like a couple of minutes for these days.

and Lithuania basically out after this win, we are up 20 points into the last quarter
it is good that this will finish before the deadline, due to me hedging our success would see Lithuania into my answers, and probably over into final as well

now I have to think it through again, but hyped with our defense today, it could be a medal after long time, and that without our biggest star Jokic, that chose to be drunk all summer in his hometown is better than playing WC basketball

I was checking the brackets and saw that Serbia is playing against Lithuania. I'm at work so I couldn't watch the game but I see that Serbia really crushed Lithuania. I don't follow basketball, but I really didn't expect that and neither did the bookies. After the game was finished I see no edge in waiting to send my answers so I have send them.

Aaaaand now I see that I'm an idiot because Italy is playing against USA in two hours and that game will also finish before the deadline so I could have waited a little more.

The way the promotion is set up, the league grows by default; by the start of season 4, we'll have 20 teams in DIV, and by season 5, we'll have 22 teams, which is more than an average league in Europe; if I'm not mistaken, we have four clubs promoted to Div 1 every season. With the way the league is set up, the two-legged game will not work, and we may end up playing 40 games per season. buwatress will burn out

I'm definitely against two-legged league system because this way we get more excitement because one loss or win means much more when there is less games to play. Besides, it's more dynamic when the season is shorter. If you get relegated into a lower league, you don't have to wait 26 weeks to get back to the higher division. Of course I won't give up if we get two-legged competition because this competition is far better than any pool.

You bet that all NBA stars feels bigger than FIBA easily after just their rookie season, and they get just that first deal... They would rate the pre-season, or the new in season tournament ahead of FIBA, because they believe what it takes to be on a NBA roster apparently is 10 times more than what it requires to represent their country on any given day, hence Jokic not even trying to take part at all with his country men.

Aaaaand now I see that I'm an idiot because Italy is playing against USA in two hours and that game will also finish before the deadline so I could have waited a little more.

Better than missing out mate, we probably all already know how that one would turnout, and if it's not the desired result you wanted, you could still call in your VAR chip, if you have not used it yet, I don't think the Italy-Usa fixture is really worth being on the edge of missing the deadline for, if there is any possibility of you getting carried away for a few minutes or an hour and miss the deadline.

Is this really the reason?
I wasn't following why he withdrew, but considering how unorthodox the guy is I would not be 1% surprised if he actually told them that he wants to get drunk with his buddies and play some 2v2's.

Nope, at some point we'll draw the line. 16 or 18 players per Division might be the soft spot, although 3 leagues of 20 players were what we were looking to achieve initially.
We have 52 players now, so we're still 8 players short. Hope we get them for the next 2 seasons

officially, he is tired, and does not have same frequency with coach Pesic

but he is drunk every day, filling newspapers daily with different exbitions in his hometown

nevertheless, Bogdanovic proved as great team leader without him on board

Thank you for the reminder. I submitted my choices a little while ago. The tennis question seems good for this round and doesn't require much thinking. Also, the basketball question. Last round was a disaster for me, I hope this round goes in my favor. I want to reach the first division, and the season is almost over. I'm helpless here with you.

You are really very lucky to have Bogdanovic. I bought tickets for many matches just to watch him in the years he played for Fenerbahçe. He is a real leader. Even though he played terrible against Italy as for shots from outside he never stepped back. And this is the biggest indicator of his leadership. I hope we can watch him at Fenerbahçe again after he finishes his NBA career. It should be appreciated that Jokic didn't join after the difficult season in NBA. He has left a quite difficult season physically.

Nikola Jokic? Well I've seen some of the vids about him on youtube shorts ( this thing is amazing in case if you guys havent really gotten hooked into this yet) and it seems that he couldnt care less about basketball. This guy literally on has his horses on his mind and is playing basketball to earn money to keep up with all his horses addiction or whatsoever. Anyway dude is amazing though


Submitted mine, pretty much last minute but I got stumped with the WTA questions there

Yup, one of the most interesting athletes out there.
