⭐⚽⭐ Rainbet's Bitcointalk Sports Fanatics League (BSFL) – 13000$ rewards ⭐⚽⭐

[Trofo]

Last 40 minutes I spend on this thread and read enough about BSFL I really like this idea now want to ask first and only question may I have chance in Season 9 because I check 3 members are already out due to absences.

If its possible then I can start soon my journey because I like sports related quizzes and competitions and have enough experience about soccer and tennis both are having good space here, and I am sure I can do something good at coming season.

Apply immediately to dedicated thread and start filling the forms for fun in this season.

Places in S9 will be awarded to better forum accounts and earlier sign ups. So sooner you sign up the better and you still have some time to work on account as well So far you would be in since we have 4 people out and 2 new sign ins but we can't guarantee a spot anymore since the time we reached full 4 Divisions. So far we never left anyone out if it wasn't brand new account so chances are on your side.

It seems like many people weren't following tennis and saw that Heliovaara H and Patten H is already out of the tournament..

Since Heliovaara/Patten got eliminated from the Australian Open before the deadline, I don't think that part of the tennis question will be counted.
Trofo/cryptofrka, correct me if I am wrong, please.

This last second loss against @Rikafip was quite painful to say the least, especially given what the situation in the table was. When questions like waterpolo come up, I am usually lost. I don't know if anyone here follows that, so I think it's the same for pretty much anyone.

Not that it helped me much but I have watched maybe half the games in this Euro, all Croatia games plus all "derby games" and last 4 games (semi-finals + medals). My kid loves Waterpolo and we are planing on going watching some matches live soon.

I still believe Greece should have taken this one, but Hungary against them had incredible shooting stats. Then came the final and they were not even half as good against Serbia so it was one way street.

Yes I think I remember you guys have options to watch water polo right? Big difference is it's huge in Croatia. Just checked the rankings and Croatia is 2nd. Germany is 17th. I actually think it is a cool sport and I would watch it from time to time if Germany was involved with anything of importance on the international stages. But once when we had the first questions about it, I tried to find a stream just to get an idea and damn it was horrible to find a stream that worked even for a minute, so didn't really work out eventually.

Can you guys watch it on free TV or stream?

Yep this happened on round 8 as well, similar situation so most likely voided


@maamanda : only 4 different questions, this is rough because we seems to be on the same brain wavelength or something and 3 of the 4 different answers were not even that different to begin with. Except for Inter -Dortmund, all 3 other questions are gonna be settled on weekend so its gonna be a long wait until we get the winner

How are even got the same answers on two 50-50 questions and tennis h2h

[un_rank]

There is no right week to miss your submission but this would have been it seeing I was up against an already eliminated user.

We created a few friendlies so everybody's got something to play for. This is what we came up with.
Friendlies

This was to be a stress free week for my team but now we are under pressure not to lose to a non league team. Got to lock in now.Cro2, is th spreadsheet visible on mobile now? I cannot access it from my device.

In Croatia our national TV is broadcasting water polo games because we are usually pretty good in that sport. But I don't like to watch it because a lot of things happens underwater. I usually can't figure out why was foul awarded - you see a lot of water foam and suddenly a player is suspended for 20 seconds.

Since Helipvaara/Patten got eliminated from the Australian Open before the deadline, I don't think that part of the tennis question will be counted.
Trofo/cryptofrka, correct me if I am wrong, please.

As long as it is a part of a question, it remains valid - meaning that 'No' will be graded as correct.
That is why there is VAR - sometimes when we post questions we hope that low odds pairs will pass - otherwise it's really difficult to have questions that vary a bit.

In these situations we are ok with minor advantages given to players that track what's happening.

This is a bit different - this was our mistake. That game was always supposed to be finished before the deadline so voiding it was the best call.
The tennis one had a chance for Heliovaara/Patten to go through, they lost, so we decided to reward those that paid attention.

Mafia does not profit from this decision - our opponents have No as well.

Oh great it was only for the h2h the question about Mane scoring. Im 1 -0 behind in the h2h now but i can recover.

Good news for you, we decided to void that part of the question. We will grade only remaining 4 goal scorers.

If the game was still on at deadline we would have let it stay, but since it was well over, we decided void was most fair solution.

Basically, we don't accept Newbie members. Be active in the thread and meaningfully contribute and I'll rank you up myself if you deserve the merits.
There is plenty of time until the start of new season, so if you prove yourself as a good addition to community, you will surely be a part of BSFL.

As Trofo said - feel free to start playing from the next round. We will pair you in a friendly with somebody.

As long as it is a part of a question, it remains valid - meaning that 'No' will be graded as correct.

So, if it's a H2H question and 1 or more parts of the question is settled before the deadline, all parts of the question are still counted.
If it's a normal question and it's settled before the deadline, the question is voided.

Am I getting the rules correctly?
If so, you may want to consider editing the OP to make it more clear.

* If there is only one possible outcome before the deadline, the question will be voided and all potential VAR used on that question cancelled.

We will edit the rules a bit, yeah. Basically - we did not count on us making mistakes

To explain a bit - if it is a H2H question the idea is for it always to stand. So, if a player is knocked out in tennis/snooker/whatever earlier, if a player to score does not play/is injured or suspended, it will be graded.
If it is a mistake in writing the question like it was with Sadio Mane in Round 8 (meaning that at the time of writing the question there is a 100% chance that the answer will be known before the deadline), then we will void that one.

If it is however a regular question (for example if Heliovaara/Patten to win was a Yes/No) and they are out of the tournament before the deadline, then it will be voided.

Hopefully it makes sense, now help me write it in rules so people ca understand it

AFAIK, it's always a bad round for us when we meet your team, we hope this time will be different from the past. I never thought we would both be at the bottom of the table, if our team lose, we'll enter the relegation zone & if your team win, your team might get out of that lowly zone. Tomorrow will be the first to determine who will take the lead, Inter Milan is more favored in terms of odds, that's the reason why I choose them to win & I believe we'll take the first lead.

[Mindyspace]

Hello!

I have some questions about registration, divisions, and fees. If this has already been asked, I apologize, I haven't been able to keep up...

If a new participant enters through Division 4, can they be promoted to Division 3 in the same season?

Also, is the registration fee for Divisions 1, 2, and 3 always the same, or can it vary from season to season?

[hosemary]

Hopefully it makes sense, now help me write it in rules so people ca understand it

It does.

How does this look?

If a regular question is settled before the deadline, it will be voided. When it comes to H2H questions, they will be counted even if they are settled before the deadline.
In the unlikely event we make a mistake and ask a question that is guaranteed to be settled before the deadline, it will be voided, whether it's a regular question or part of a H2H question.

As for you, getting a draw is good enough to keep me at the bottom at the table. I totally cant get another draw again if I want to survive

Tomorrow will be the first to determine who will take the lead, Inter Milan is more favored in terms of odds, that's the reason why I choose them to win & I believe we'll take the first lead.

Yeah but I expecting this to be a very tight game so probably a 0-0 or 1-1 draw gonna save my ass. Its troublesome to choose a winner on a game like this because both teams are just good on their own league but when it comes to UCL, its totally different game for them

We will edit the rules a bit, yeah. Basically - we did not count on us making mistakes

To explain a bit -snip

Okay.... thats really confusing but I'll count on you guys to make the best decision because you guys are the best  

If a new participant enters through Division 4, can they be promoted to Division 3 in the same season?

No, promotion and relegation only after the season ends, meaning you will be promoted or relegated next season

Also, is the registration fee for Divisions 1, 2, and 3 always the same, or can it vary from season to season?

I cant really recall but the fees changed abit from the very first season I guess, that probably only happened once so far throughout 8 seasons

[darxiaomi]

Damn man i just end the check of the comparison between the answers of my rival and the mine, and we have only 2 similar answer between the 10 questions this can end pretty bad for anyone of us, the good side is we are gonna have plenty of fun following the answers across the week.

We only have the same answer at the Newcaslte-Liverpool question and in the Manchester City one.

[Jinetics1111]

I swear to the Gambling Gods I'm cursed , Hoffenheim goes and gets a straight red card now same thing like Borussia Dortmund last week. You really can't make this shit up at this point   holy let's see what happens but I'm expecting the worst outcome from this situation.

EDIT: while typing this Hoff scored wowsers and now VAR to boot always something working against me.  

EDIT 2: It stands LFG!!!!

[Rikafip]

Fuck you Werder. In 52nd minute Hoffenheim got the red card and I thought "great, not Werder has a chance to get back" just to conceed another goal 2 minutes later.
Hope they get relegated lol.

[CLS63]

We are playing against one of the weakest teams of the league which is buwaytress'. I motivated my players extra for this match to get the win. I hope we will win and maintain a win streak which would secure me in 2nd place for this week.

We have 6 different answers as far as I can see. The first question is already going in favour of me as Hoffenheim are 2-0 ahead. I'm glad Bremen's goal has been disallowed but I'm still nervous because of the red card.

[welovebit]

Team "welovebit" doing good in last few weeks having spot into cup quarterfinal is big achievement now it's time to go ahead for promotion hopefully all will be ok till last round and team will not perform like Arsenal.

This week is challenging @Bitcoin Smith have good record in last few rounds as well in this round we have 6 replies same which are good while both H2H are different its interesting hopefully I will be able to secure another win and have improvement in chance of going for Division 3.

[Jinetics1111]

Thank goodness Werder is so bad that even with a man down they still can't do shit, man this feels good to start with a green box for a change  , they did have a goal ruled out too (thank you VAR, did I just say that? ) so that also benefited us Hoffenheim backers damn even with extended injury time still nothing my word they stink....LFG!!!!!

[famososMuertos]

I haven’t started off on the right foot in the last few rounds; my opponent always gets ahead. This time, though, I think I’m going to start with the green colour (1 point).  For question 10, I went with France, while my opponent played it safe with Sweden, who are already qualified. France has to get past Germany first, which is a tough hurdle. So, including Sweden wasn’t a bad idea, but France should beat them and make it to the final.

Out of all the questions, I have to say the one about Djokovic is cool, unpredictability, anyway I do think some young player is going to push him into a five‑set match. 🤞
