⭐⚽⭐ Sportsbet's Bitcointalk Sports Fanatics League (BSFL) – 10000$ rewards ⭐⚽⭐

[buwaytress]

So I'm matched with last round's best performer -- not even sure now if I should just wing this round as I think I overthought a few questions (Napoli, mainly, and Everton winning). Then again, going for the "natural selections" of Sheffield and Djoko questions didn't help either.

As usual, lineup is hardest. Gunners got a couple of players injured but they could still make it for Sporting. I'm not waiting for tomorrow to find out!

Good luck, LFC_Bitcoin! Let's not settle for a draw and give others room to catch up

Did you see this? I'm topping the league, Trofo behind me and suddenly next round I'm free?

This is blatant cheating, report this guy! FIFA, where are you??

You cannot report, when it comes to Trofantino, if you two wanted to break away and form a Super League with just the two of you, that might change though

[Ulven]

If we do logos, they will almost certainly have to be in PNG and in rectangular format.

We'll think about it and let you guys know, so far feel free to send them here but if we do implement them, you will probably have to change them as well.

Ah, PNG and rectangles, the classic duo! It's like peanut butter and jelly, Batman and Robin, or Bitcoin and blockchain. I'm sure our fictional club logos will look fantastic in that format. And hey, if we ever need to switch things up, we can always go for a more avant-garde shape like a trapezoid or octagon. Who says logos have to be boring rectangles anyway? Let's get creative and show off our unique club identities in style!

I did OK last round, yeah. I wasn’t so good in the previous round though, I lost round 2. The competition is tough man, many of you guys really know your stuff. Good luck in round 4, my friend.

Really enjoying the competition, LFG.

Could we please have the choice to edit picks? Neymar and Mbappe, for instance, are doubtful for the game against Bayern on Wednesday. It is plainly mentioned on the sheet that Messi and Neymar would play, therefore my question is: what happened? If Neymar is not available? Does everyone get an extra point for it?

Firstly, I think the essence of the time frame is to do your findings and/or make your guesses, it makes no difference being able to edit answers, imo, you can wait for very close to the deadline when you've gathered more information as you possibly can before submitting your answers, google already saves your progress with every input made.

Secondly, Just so you know, Neymar is definitely out of the clash, and this has been stated already by many media outlets, and moreover the question doesn't involve Neymar, it only reiterates him being out, it states thus;

"With Neymar out of the team and a 1-0 goal deficit, Messi and Mbappe need to step up for PSG in their game against Bayern. How will they play?
"

• both of them to record a goal or an assist
• 1 of them to record a goal or an assist
• neither of them to record a goal or an assist

Cro2 team, my apologies if posting this violates any terms of the contest.

[Trofo]

Cro2 team, my apologies if posting this violates any terms of the contest.

No, you basically answered what I would say as well.

We are giving you questions, sometimes a week in advance and that creates logistical problems. We are doing research when posting them but new info is getting available by the day. It is your decision to decide when will you enter your questions and do as much research as you wish to do. Of course that person that waits until last hour will have advantage. That advantage will be bigger on some weeks and smaller on others. We try to create questions in a way that new news will not invalidate them and this question is a good example of that. Even if all three are injured and nobody from Neymar, Messi and Mbappe plays a minute there is still a winning answer and question will stand. We are sometimes giving you info in the question to help casuals and make questions more interesting but that info isn't official and could be old by the time questions go live. For instance I was writing my half of questions on Sunday morning and deadline is 6 pm Tuesday. That is over 50 hours of new information, quite a lot in these modern times.

Rule of thumb, if there is an answer covering outcome of the match, question stands and point goes only to persons that selected it. Question will be removed only if we screw in a way that nobody can get a point, or "force majour" happens. For instance Arsenal game gets delayed because of Airline strikes and game isn't played before Sunday 10PM. We have to remove that question since we don't know what would have been the line up.

I even warned you guys about Tennis question this week, it could be settled before the deadline and I know I am waiting before posting my answers for this round. Not last minute but last couple of hours.

There will never be a possibility to edit answers, that would solve some problems but it would also create many new problems and ones that can have much greater consequences on competition as a whole.

[arallmuus]

Submitted mine, lets have a fun rounds this week mate @jeremypwr !  

People said 3rd time a charm but yet I lost last week, 4th time could be my lucky week as I need to get 3 points soon or Im probably out of division 1 soon enough. I am confident this week with my answers except for the Arsenal's lineup because of their tight schedule so Arteta might be making some drastic change on their back line.

[notblox1]

Guys I like the idea of creating our own logos for BSFL, and my personal club designer is working on that already 
I lost my first round against vd309 but it was narrow win and I am ready to come back in first place.
All questions answered and sent early, so good luck everyone!

This could be used for cheating so I don't think it's a good idea, and it would make things harder for guys from cro2 team.
They would have to look at exact time and when someone made changes, that is lot of complications for nothing.

[ralle14]

Another bad round for me I need to avoid another low-scoring round if not the gap will probably start to widen for us bottom dwellers.

Thanks for the small tip on the tennis question I nearly sent my answers yesterday but I decided to wait until today and it definitely paid off.

Also nice work on the standings joker_josue, it looks great. 

[slaman29]

Ooo today's news is all over the search so it definitely brings us who waited a good chance at a point, and so we are at least 50/50 in that question even if we guess it, it's all down now to whether we think it can happen or not.

I will wait a few more hours actually to see other news, especially Arsenal related

In order to look good in the table, the images will have to be in good quality with a height of 15px.
Therefore, when developing a logo, you have to check if it is perceptible in that dimension.

Sneaky Trofo question already paying out for those that waited..

It must be frustrating for Đoković - the pandemic is over but he still can't play tennis. I really feel sorry for him and hope this craziness ends soon.

I was convinced that he would overcome these berocratic issues. 
I didn't make the best choice... I could have waited, but today it would be difficult for me to answer, I didn't want to risk it.

That is really stupid situation, I belive there is already a date set for pandemic end in USA and it is some day begining of May. Meaning Djoković will just miss biggest US tournaments and then few days later he can come and enter country like nothing happened.

I am not gonna go into Djoković civid beliefs but surely now that most countries are treating covid like normal cold there could have been some exceptions.

I'm not sure how USA treats regular people that enters their country, but if all of them must be vaccinated, then I don't agree with you. Who is Đoković (or any other player) to be excluded from that rule? I'm not saying he is stupid not to take a vaccine but the same rules must apply for all. Players and regular people.

And now about this week's questions. Where did you find baseball... Not only I don't follow that sport, I don't even know how to play it. I just see bunch of people shooting a ball with a bat and then run in circle (or to be exact, run in diamond).

Problem is there are exemptions all the time but Djoković is famous as one of the most prominent anti vaxers and then he is under extra scrutiny. Best example AO last year, there were maybe 5 unvaccinated players playing matches without any problem on exemption until Djoković came. Afterwards they all got deported. You have to be famous just enough to avoid the rules.

Please send all baseball related complaints to my colleague and self proclaimed baseball master, cryptofrka  I know the rules but have no idea about this question. Gonna be coin toss for me.

In that case, I agree with you. The same rules should be applied to all players. No exceptions! But we all know Đoković and his temper. I think he was the perfect player to make an example of him. If they forbid the best player to enter the country, others probably won't try. But enough with vaccination. This topic is about sport.

And when I say that this topic is about sport, I didn't mean baseball. Bunch of people running around, playing fetch
Just kidding, of course. I don't mind these kind of questions, just don't put too many of them in the same week

[cryptofrka]

Re baseball - it's an important tournament (a baseball equivalent of football's world cup).
I don't track it, don't even know how it's played, but baseball is a huge sport globally and deserves to be included.

The question is formed in a way that gives you some interesting data as well (new teams qualifying) so hopefully we'll all learn something new this week

The whole idea is that we familiarize ourselves with all sports and discuss what we do and don't like. These questions will always be in minority, as we have shown so far.

No problem. I was just kidding a little. I knew that once in a while there will be a question about baseball. I don't even know how to research that question so it's a coin toss for me. But I can afford to lose one week now that I'm at the third place. I'm a little shocked by that, you know
