I think it could work but only in cup games when there will be options for penalties incase there is a tie, and why would anyone deliberate lose to win a point when that means they won't qualify ? that's a conflict of interest every question and points counts towards a person qualifying so if they chose "No" and don't qualify intentionally, yes they'd win a point, but still not qualify at the end o the day, so they win a battle but lose the war.

I'm still not certain that I understand what you are proposing. So, you mean that the question in the second round of a cup week is who will qualify in the first part of the week? If that's the case, then it could work. But that kind of question is impossible to research so it would be more based on luck than on ability to research.

I'm actually not proposing anything my response is directed towards the previous post saying it could work if implemented, but of course there will be something issues here and there towards approaching the best way to put such question into play without possible exploitation or loop holes at first. However, as the boss already said there wouldn't be any need to worry about that, at least for now.

--------------------------

The tennis question is really going to be tough, Alcaraz with a definite tough game, Struff have been really impressive in the past few weeks winning his last 7 games in straight set and most of them are against top class players like Auger-Aliassime, Rune, Taylor Fritz and Ugo Humbert, His last defeat was from Sinner. So, I'm might just wait this out without Alcaraz because he's got a cast around his injured right hand and I don't know if he's fully healed or would be able to play through it all week long, however there aren't too many tough potential match up on his side of the bracket, so it's a really tricky tricky decision here, could probably have been easier If Casper Ruud was on his side of the bracket, given the impressive form Ruud is currently on.

If I remember correctly, the questions for the cup competition have not been published yet. I looked to see if I missed it but I couldn't find it, are you sure?
Round 8 was published and I should have sent the answers within 2-3 hours after it was published. If I missed the cup questions, I would like to answer them quickly

No, they weren't posted yet. Sorry for the confusion. I thought that you are facing jayce in this round and that you are still waiting for the questions to be posted. All good

It is so sad to be out of the cup this early.    My players have lost some morale after this early elimination but I'm trying to prepare them for our next game. We need to be ready for a tough challenge against vd309. It is nice to see an F1 question in this round. To be honest I haven't been following NBA regularly this season. But I will do my best on that question too.    Seeing Palmer among the questions reminds me of how I got eliminated in the cup. 

[notblox1]

And I am out of the cup, business as usual 

Very good news 
For me I see there is chance of another rematch with Slissy if we both get passed the next Cup round against Woodie and Dittoup.
Stairs are realigning 

Tennis almost proved to provide some clues to my picks, but everything more or less went as expected in Madrid even if it feels like everyone's expecting Nadal to drop his racquet!

Thank you logo bro
Nadal keeps winning, maybe he wants to win one last trophy in Madrid, but old man is so low ranked now in ATP list.

[Harkorede]

No bro
Nadal keeps winning, maybe he wants to win one last trophy in Madrid, but old man is so low ranked now in ATP list.

He's is low in ATP ranking list, he's been in the top 10 since 2005 and only dropped out last year simply because of the injury that kept him out for a really long time, and there was no way he's ATP points would have remained, so, in other words his low ranking isn't a factor decided by him playing terribly or losing his form, but rather not playing at all. Unlike other players around equal rankings currently as Nadal, Nadal will get to play every major grand slam this year, if he doesn't withdraw through injury or other reasons, and he wouldn't need to go through any qualifying phase for that.


-----------------------------------

I just submitted my answers, there is no need for me to be lurking around over one pick when I could settle for better alternatives 

[darxiaomi]

I play against the mafia guy who is division 1 more well known as Trofo, i was expecting to see some esports related question on this round, but luckily for the 99.9% of the pool they arent.

About the questions, were a good ones, but everything can happen in everyone of them so i dont know what to expect from this round.

Nope, Cup will get a separate week - it is never combined with the league round.
As always, the questions will be posted on Sunday, with Tuesday as the submission deadline.

Still not sure what answers to choose, I can't find an edge in any of the questions. My form has really been shit, I need a win ASAP.

Man should have retired while still clapping hard; I've always like it when people leave it at the clapping stage rather than waiting until they've lost everything before retiring. Tiger Woods, Alonso, and Hamilton were all monarchs, with the world at their feet. There is nothing else to watch about them now. They don't even interest me anymore...

Submitted answers - a must win round for me.

[buwaytress]

I see many of us silly people waiting around for Sinner and Alcaraz games -- the latter of course just had to take it all the way to tiebreak, but once he was 3-0 up, didn't need to wait to hit send. Then as soon as I write this, Struff goes 4-3!

Actually really hate to leave it late but it really looked wobbly for them both, didn't it?

Of course, it'll all go to hell when they both drop out at semis haha.

[cryptofrka]

Damn, had to submit Alcaraz. It's 3-3 in TB against Struff, I have a feeling Carlos might lose this.

Just look at the submission times for most of us. All eyes on it hahah.

EDIT: Alcaraz is through at the end - I'm gonna check who gambled otherwise. Not many I suppose.

Haha. I was also gonna wait for today's tennis games to end, but I had real life stuff interfering with my online life so I had to submit early. I decided to go with Zverev instead of Alcaraz that all of you answered. Maybe I'll get rewarded because I went against the majority

I see that I was 59 seconds away from a free win, but I can't get that lucky. cls63 was late and gave free points to vd309. And imarios... Damn... You submitted 10 secondary before the deadline. You have some nerves...

[jeremypwr]

Real life, what's that? 
I did not submit my picks so congrats to @Jinetics1111

Bro I realized that and wondered what happened? Cause I saw you post in CHTV chat like 30 mins earlier, but on that note thanks although I was looking forward to our battle.

Yeah, I would agree with you, but with these sportsmen it's always a very tough decision to call it quit on a sports and passion they've dedicated all their to, It's not not really about the revenue but rather the joy they derive every time they step on the court to do their thing.

-----------------------

Speaking of free points; it seems I might have to protest on this, for 4 freaking seasons I've never gotten just a single one

In addition to this, we also have cls63 submitting late. I believe this is the round with the highest profile of failed submissions   Your opponents will be grateful.

@cls63 you should have waited until the game against me  

I also submitted early and thought I dropped the ball on Alcaraz

I sent my answers before but I was ready to use VAR and replace with another player I had in mind if Alcaraz lost his match.
Didnt watch their matches live and tennis is most boring sport for me, but maybe Nadal uses this get into final.
I see you picked Sinner and I went with Alcaraz who won Madrid Open few times, so let the better player win  

In addition to this, we also have cls63 submitting late. I believe this is the round with the highest profile of failed submissions   Your opponents will be grateful.

We are all very much grateful for this gift mistake because he is currently on the top of Division 1  
Nice chance for someone to make a big jump to top position.
Thank you cls63 and sorry.

Yeah, me too. If I don't count a free win against casperBGD that we all got, I have never got free points. I know that no one fails to submit on purpose, but it just not fair to the rest of the teams. But it is what it is.

[CLS63]

Guys you can't imagine how sad I am for being late for my submission.    I have been in the countryside for a while and I have a really weak signal here so I can't use the internet comfortably. This cost me wasting a week in the league here. First the elimination from the cup and now this... I have been the leader in Division 1 but after this round I'm going to lose a big advantage. From now on I will do my best to make up for this week.

Oh I know the feeling really well. When I didn't submit my answers I wanted to punch myself for being that stupid and not checking if everything went OK. But it happens. Don't take my post about not being fair to others as a criticism of your actions. I know you would much rather that you have submitted on time.

It really feels terrible mate. It happened to me last season as well and that was because of not setting any alarm. But I learned my lesson from that and started to set alarms. But this time it happened to me again for a different reason. This has been an inevitable result for me.    No I'm not taking it as a criticism of course mate. Being late by only a few minutes sucks but sometimes it happens indeed.
