I sent my answers earlier this time as there is no benefit to waiting.. I haven't done any research. My main focus is the league, the cup is just a bonus😁

Next time maybe better to write "Dortmund" than just write "Borussia" since there are 2 teams called that 😁 I knew anyway which team you guys meant😁

Trofo you have forgotten to put notblox1 on the VAR table, I don't see his name there😁

I expect a QB will be the 1st pick again, but 3 of them in the top 5? Tricky...

Another trick question.  

Out of curiosity I just checked few mockup drafts and all of them predict 3 QB in top 3 so I guess chances that 3 end up in top 5 are pretty solid. If I actually took some time to research I would have answered "Yes" but of course I didn't and went with my gut feeling and answered "No".

My team is now in the Hotel meeting to see the broadcasting for the qualifiers matches. Watching and expecting to know who is gonna be my rival.

[buwaytress]

Thiem actually hasn't qualified yet, he still has one more qualifying game to win in order to make it to the main draw, and his next match is against a better ranked player Kokkinakis (no. 93).


The draws aren't random by any stretch they happen according to rankings or seeds for the tour, even for the qualifiers they do have seeds for it as well. So whoever wins the last seeds position from the qualifiers by default gets to play the 1st seed for the tournament. For ATP 1000 events like the Madrid open most are usually a 64 man tournament with the top 8 seeded getting a bye for the first round (some have expanded to 96 players, meaning more bye for more players in the first round, e.g Indian Wells Open), meaning there are supposedly 58 players in total, the seeded 32 players are default by their atp rankings for those who are eligible for the tour, so the remaining 26 slots are battled for in the tournament qualifiers, in some cases it could be fewer, if the tournament features Wild Cards (WC) or players with protected ranking (PR), the latter as the case with Nadal currently is. Nadal are surely going at loggerheads again, provided Nadal wins his first game  

Thank you for the detail. I know I could look it up myself but it's nicer to get someone who knows explain it. I did watch a lot of tennis when I was younger, but never really got into the details of competitions.

I got lost with ranking system already recently, and can't be bothered to catch up. I knew seeds were important (and ranking) but I thought this was only for the protection of top seeds. I always thought qualifiers anyway were randomly drawn. So now I understand this is not like a football group draw. Got it.

Oh yeah and Thiem didn't make it. Goodbye.

Just looked at the spreadsheet and noticed my opponent @hakan2217 was 38seconds late which is good news for me as this could give me an early ticket to the next stage  

Don't hate the player hate the game

All answers sent on time, but I still cant find other team that plays against me.
Good luck everyone, and happy start of the new Cup season.
My team players are pumped and ready to win.

New article is up guys, give it a read

So sad to see no mention about team notblox1 amazing comeback from 3:0 to 3:3
When Cup draw update?

What's 3 QB? I'm lost here  

Player position, I think Quarterback is the full name.
I dont watch NFL but I think first picks are all quarterbacks.

[arallmuus]

Woah 2/2 for me. Decent start and if only I could play this well in league though lol. I guess picking over 4+ goals really paid off huh, I almost used VAR on that to change it to 3 goals though but I decided to hold it off since this is a cup so it wont really matter that much

@slaman29 : gotta win this round against you as a payback for losing against you on league, go Fiorentina !

If Cryptofka had written those in full and not jumbled them in with NBA and Euro basketball questions, we non-NFL fans would have had an easier time spotting it. But he's never been kind.

I'm giving up football after this season for the sake of my mental health. Beginning with the next NBA season, I will be a full-time Lakers fan. For Kobe ( RIP)

 Buwaytress you can keep your football. I'm done. Thank you Chelsea.

The draft is often based on the players' prospect coming into the lottery and what the first team to pick would probably consider paramount for their franchise, it's still very tricky and we might not see 3 QBs in this years draft. I just think it will have been trickier if we needed to choose the amount QBs in the top 5 picks.

[ralle14]

Southampton has no shots on goal throughout the match, how did that happen?

It's a tie game (1-1) between me and fM. The next few questions for tomorrow will surely put one of us ahead.

You're in the 5th seed, so you'll play against the team that qualifies from match#21 (entebah/kara.aa1). Good luck to you as well.

Well shit! I was happy to see that I chose Leicester to win, but I also chose both to score - yes. I can't believe that Southampton had ball in possession 66% and not one single shot on target, let alone a goal. It's 1-1 between me and Rikafip for now.

Now I need Everton not to lose and 3 QB in the first 5 drastically picks.

Wow Woodie this is like your second or third free points round, this one the most important I think because less than 60 seconds delay for hakan is a bye for you. Not hating the game, hating the players who miss, but this happened to me too. Missed by 1+ minute.

Don't delay guys!!

@slaman29 : gotta win this round against you as a payback for losing against you on league, go Fiorentina !

Wish you changed it, I don't know why the heck I chose Southampton, or why the heck they didn't even make 1 on target attempt, you deserve 2/2 man. If you beat me, make sure you go far

Yup, it's expected that there will be 3 in the top 5 for sure. Was a bit of a trick question

Next time maybe better to write "Dortmund" than just write "Borussia" since there are 2 teams called that 😁 I knew anyway which team you guys meant😁

There's only 1 Borussia and only 1 United
But sure, we can specify a bit better for some that aren't big on European club football.
In this case the other club is mentioned as well so there was no way to misunderstand it.

Never happy to see it but rules are rules. You're through to the next round.

[darxiaomi]

So i just check the post made from Cryptofa and i see im gonna be against the guys on game 8.

Spack and Bigaudge (yes i dont write the names correctly).

Both are guys from the 3 division, i cant lose against them, but my team always leak in this games against underdogs. We need to work in our mentality for this kind of games.

[hakan2217]

It is ok guys. That's my mistake. I was out and driving and reilezed just minutes left for the deadline. I try to send it in time but there was some traffic too soo a little bit delay happened.
Playing for 2 seasons and I never submit my answers late not even once but this time just was unlucky sorry for that.
I just wanna keep the game fair and fun for everyone, ganna be more carefull and ganna send my answers earlier next weeks. Good luck to all teams for next rounds

[arallmuus]

Well buddy atleast its not a league game though, it would be funny to watch you send in your answers after the deadline on league day after getting 6 points from 2 late players

@slaman29 : gotta win this round against you as a payback for losing against you on league, go Fiorentina !

Wish you changed it, I don't know why the heck I chose Southampton, or why the heck they didn't even make 1 on target attempt, you deserve 2/2 man. If you beat me, make sure you go far

I probably would have it this was league rounds but then I thought fuck it, its only cup though and most people dont really take it seriously so yeah perhaps it could be a lucky win for me. I hope I get to top 4 atleast if I can pass you  , I wanna try my luck on cup this season

Also expected Saints to at least score in that game. It is quite nice to be free in qualifying round - this is the first time I will get to Round 1 I can casually cover the first half of the week. Don't even know who are my possible opponents at this time. Gonna find out when I write the brackets halfway through the week.

[buwaytress]

Heh, Liverpool. Hiding in this thread to drown some misery.

We love you Hakan. I have never missed a submission either, and usually I don't like to take chances but have been trying not to use up VAR too much so this season submitted a couple very close to deadline. Once we're halfway I'll be sending earlier I think, until VAR is used up anyway. I feel like some things have to happen once to every one. Real life shizzle and all that. At least it's a cup and not league game!

I knew I was free (barely, as I was 10th) but I watched and still hoped for results anyway. Funny what BSFL does to you...

Speaking of following results that mean nothing because of BSFL habitual monitoring, WTA doing it's thing again so early with Raducanu and Wozniacki.

[slackovic]

Come on Everton! Finally I decided to go with an underdog and I got it right. I had enough wrong answers by going with a favorite so I tried the other way around. I just hope Liverpool won't score three goals in these last 15 minutes.

[Jinetics1111]

Well out the cup, not surprised. Ah well get to focus on not getting relegated now.
