We're still trying to evaluate what the best option is and how to keep the most of you entertained even when you don't have anything to play for.

Both of you guys have been doing great job on that ! The cup idea was great, now this totally makes it like we are playing in a real league or something which is pretty fun with some extra kit for top 3 of the Cup

Should name Sportsbet's Cup or something instead of just calling it 'Cup'

Everybody is competing. No break for you so better send your answers.

You are free in R1 but you will have a match in R2 same as all Div 1 & Div 2 players. That means you still have deadline tomorrow, but you have a free pass on first 5 questions. You must answer the rest before the deadline.

If I didnt read this then I would probably wouldnt submit my answers because I thought I am free this week. Well I think I just gotta play safe from now on and submit answers to questions every week to avoid this hassle

Honestly thought that R2 will be on a different week before I read this

BSFL Cup i guess 

One more thing - Perhaps we can start having sponsorships and naming rights for the Cup, which would be a lot of fun. What would it take for the club to be renamed Igebotz Cup for next season? If there is any chance, please let me know. It would be fun if some other members or the company hosted it every season.

I had the same problem, but according to the board, questions 1-4 are useless in DIV1 and 2, and you should only answer questions 5- 10. I hope I'm correct on this one.

Good game LTU_btc!

Entered my no research picks already for cup, BTW you are forced to answer Round 1 questions otherwise you cannot submit

Wouldn't call it good game. Both of us collected just 2 points from all questions, when there is some with 5-6 and even 7. And I'm a bit afraid that something similar can happen for me in Cup. I naswered question in way that it can simply great or completely terrible .

Yes, I fully agree. Sorry it happened to you, you deserved a point here but once announced, we can't change the rules.
It's especially hard to put tennis questions into BSFL - we have to put them days in advance and tennis is too important to be left out.
We also have to calculate so many things - with Alcaraz a big favorite h2h in this question would have lead to many draws - but what happened this time was even worse.

Things like these will help us do it better in the future though - but it's hard when you're the one that suffers because of it.

Tennis questions is must have thing, but I imagine how difficult to make it basically week in advance. I'm not sure what can be done to improve these things. Maybe tennis question can be given separately from all questions before late phases of tournaments before semifinals or final for example. I'm not sure that's good idea, I gave it more like example, maybe others have something to offer.

I was having the same thought. So there I go answer. I think I have time for everything. 

Good guesses for everyone!

But all good! 😁 Now I have sent my answers😁

Good luck guys!

BSF CUP explanation

I see there's a lot of confusion regarding the Cup, let's try to explain a bit more.

We will have 2 cup rounds this week.
The 1st round is Tuesday-Thursday, the 2nd round is Friday-Sunday.

Considering that we have 40 players in total, some players are free in the 1st round - but still have to submit answers today before the deadline so that they don't have the advantage for Round 2 against the players from Round 1 who submitted their answers earlier.

In the form the questions are marked as 1st round and 2nd round - but the form requires you to fill in all the fields. 1st round of questions for Division 1 and Division 2 players will not be rated.

One more thing - Perhaps we can start having sponsorships and naming rights for the Cup, which would be a lot of fun. What would it take for the club to be renamed Igebotz Cup for next season? If there is any chance, please let me know. It would be fun if some other members or the company hosted it every season.

Hahah, we like the idea. Give us an offer we can't refuse
If such things would happen, it would of course be added to the prize pool.

Just a side note - the sponsor is Sportsbet and it would still be Sportsbet's Igebotz cup

Thanks for the explanation, it helped clarify.

Just a note, the link in the OP to the cup rules is not correct. It is always pointing to the last post made in this thread. It would be nice to fix that.

Weird, it was working before. It's fixed now, thanks.

You know what's the best part? In the week when we faced each other, we ended up with a draw. It's crazy to think that both of us managed to stay undefeated for quite some time. But there are 4 more rounds to go so plenty of point to win or lose. I guess it will be interesting until the end.

I am on the other end of the spectrum, unvictorious. If you guys become Invincible, what is the opposite of that for me?

Anyway I won't be pissed going to Div 2 either for sure, but then I better find a way to do better or else I end up in Div 3!

Igebotz Cup sounds nice. Who else betting on Chelsea?

Lol. it do be like that sometimes, some people for have to lose for some others to win, it's the law of nature / gambling.. I've been performing way below what I anticipated, that's a good sign as it only proves how competitive and tough the league really is.

Igebotz Cup sounds nice. Who else betting on Chelsea?

The match should be a new derby name; el-shitico because it's being played between 2 shitty teams, but I still think this should be perhaps not so easy game for Liverpool, but only anyone with a cause to make some donations to bookies should go for Chelsea.

[cryptofrka]

A lot of you still haven't submitted their answers for the cup.
I know most of you like to take your time, just reminding you that the deadline is in a few hours.

Lol fair enough, terrible game. The worst thing is I did personally research and put a lot of thought into my selections.

But the round went so badly.

Liverpool perform so well against City but have their worst game ever.
Dortmund have higher stats and conversions than Bayern, and play their worst game of the season.
Atletico collected 21 booking points in last 7 games... and then only got 1 in this last game?
Sinner was playing in the best form of all, and he failed in final.

So for Cup, I am trying to just answer without thinking, maybe it is better, let us see

The match should be a new derby name; el-shitico because it's being played between 2 shitty teams, but I still think this should be perhaps not so easy game for Liverpool, but only anyone with a cause to make some donations to bookies should go for Chelsea.

I predict 0-0 for betting, but different for BSFL. Chelsea is making PSG look good. Stars and expensive players playing like schoolchildren! Liverpool is making Spurs look good

Guys, regarding question 4, what happens if there is a submission or a draw please?

[slackovic]

Guys, regarding question 4, what happens if there is a submission or a draw please?

Wow, I can't believe that I never saw that outcome as a possibility. Since a lot of us already sent their answers, I guess the question will be voided or marked as false for everybody. I don't see any other way.

[cryptofrka]

Guys, regarding question 4, what happens if there is a submission or a draw please?

Depends on the submission. If the fighter taps out during a punch it will probably be declared as a TKO, in that case we will rate it the same.
In all other cases we will count it as a win on points.
We avoided draw as an option because it is very rare in UFC - in that case the question will be voided.

[darxiaomi]

Luckily yesterday i read some comments here about we (the guys about first and second division), also have to complete the questions, because i was like the other guys taking a rest.

Do you see my responses in the 5 question? hahahaha.

[Woodie]

All Division 1 and Division 2 players are free in the 1st round. They can submit answers for fun (the form requests it) but we aren't calculating it for freebets this week.

Excellent time to take a reflection break.

Maybe Division 1 and Division 2 players can afford this luxury of a break...

Here in Division 3 of the BSF CUP ,first round is an elimination round and the draws don't look pretty either..as we have matchups with big names fighting for survival...

And the return of the BSFL league am looking at playing  Trofo, leea-1334, Cryptofrka and one free week to lick my wounds.

TBh atm feels like Arsenal having to play Man City for the title chase with no time for breaks or to reflect on past performance here lol

Anyway, good luck to everyone.

I'm not sure how everyone is talking about taking a break when us from divisions 1 and 2 must answer the questions. OK, we don't have to answer all the questions. Only the second half is for round #2. But I used this opportunity to check my real luck - I answered Round 1 questions without any research. I wonder what will be the result
