Ok, so tonight I have a penalty shootout drama with my opponent. 
Since I'm new to this competition and this is my first experience of it, can someone explain to me how penalties work?
All 8 answers are looked at and the one with the most correct answers wins?
What if the score is tied after the 7th question and the last question, the minute of the first goal scored, is the deciding question?
How is the winner determined? The one whose prediction is closer to the minute the goal was actually scored wins?
What if there are no goals in the match?
Anyway, I hope my team has better luck in penalties than my opponent.

No, no. The penalties work like in a normal football game. The first five questions are first looked at. If it's a draw after the first five questions, the first question next where someone gets it right and other team wrong is a decider. I hope I explained it OK. But if you know how penalties at football work, you get it.

[Rikafip]

I made it through the first round of the Cup, I’m happy about that.

Me too, but I was free the first round. Don't know if that counts. 

Anyway, gg ralle14, it was a pretty easy win for you. I hoped my team could use cup break to change something, but they just went on with the bad form from the league.

[paco92x]

This was easier than expected in the end. My under 21 women's team had some nerves in the first half when paco92x took the lead 2:1, but then half time drugs pep talk did it work. Perfect 4/4 was too much for both paco92x and EarnOnVictor and I am entering Sunday with two wins under my belt 

Now back to the league, need this sort of performance there as well. My main team could get some surprise additions if this continues.

I heard someone told my team who the girls were that they were playing against, and panic immediately kicked in. I didn’t manage to calm them down at halftime .
Trofo, congrats — you were miles better, but now you can expect more and more friendlies against me. I won’t swallow this defeat lightly

[ralle14]

Anyway, gg ralle14, it was a pretty easy win for you. I hoped my team could use cup break to change something, but they just went on with the bad form from the league.

GG, I thought the penalties were looming, but AS Roma came through with the win and the under.

Hopefully, this form from my team continues in the upcoming rounds since we need to start racking up some points before the gap widens.

[Rikafip]

GG, I thought the penalties were looming, but AS Roma came through with the win and the under.

You went with some risky picks (well at least risky in my eyes), and they paid off.

I am consoling myself with the thought that now my team can focus on the league, because even though I am in the middle of the table I am not that far away from the relegation zone. Then again, I am not that far from the top either.

Match 21: LTU_btc vs cls63   2-2 (pen)

Congrats with a win in shootout and good luck in upcoming rounds. As usual, my cup journey ends very early. OK, focus now on league where things isn't going well for meat all. Instead of thinking about promotion, after poor start of season I have to think how to move out of relegation zone.

[EarnOnVictor]

This was easier than expected in the end. My under 21 women's team had some nerves in the first half when paco92x took the lead 2:1, but then half time drugs pep talk did it work. Perfect 4/4 was too much for both paco92x and EarnOnVictor and I am entering Sunday with two wins under my belt 

That was a clean one, and a big congratulations. When I saw "Trofo" was matched up with me, I was like, who did me this???...lol All I saw was trouble!!! Probably, I would have studied more if I'd seen what my round 2 would matched up with.

Regardless, not so bad for my first timer.

slackovic explained it pretty well, but it's explained in full detail in the rules.

As announced, we’ll be starting with the cup competition next week.

It will be a single game h2h duel, the winner will progress to the next round.

In each cup week we will have 2 cup rounds, each round consisting of 5 questions and a tie-breaker question.
You will receive questions in advance for both weekly rounds of the Cup and if you lose in the 1st, the answers you gave for the 2nd won’t even be looked at.

If the result is a draw after the first 5 questions, the tie-breaker comes into play. It will consist of 8 bets on the same game and will be like regular penalties. Only the first 5 choices will be looked at, and if it is still a tie after these 5, one per one bet will be checked until the winner is found.
If there is no winner even after 8 penalties, the player that submitted earlier will be the winner.

The 1st cup round will usually last from Tuesday till Friday and the 2nd one from Friday till Sunday.
In case some teams need to be free in the 1st round of the Cup, it will always be those teams best placed on the current tables, starting from Division 1.
There will be no seeded players at any point, meaning that a 1st Div player can draw a 1st Div player in any of the future rounds.

During the Cup no weekly freebets will be given.

Also - regarding the minute of the goal - it was explained in the question (and visible in the spreadsheet):

Penalties: Newcastle is hoping that the season ends as fast as possible and their next game is West Ham at home. West Ham is in a tough relegation fight and will surely look for a win here. Please answer the following questions about the game:
Newcastle to win (Yes/No), Newcastle to score in the 1st half (Yes/No), over 2,5 goals in the game (Yes/No), Bowen to score (Yes/No), over 9,5 total corners (Yes/No), over 3,5 yellow cards in the game - onfield players only (Yes/no), West Ham to lead in any point of the game (Yes/No), minute of the first goal (if 0-0, closer to 90’ wins). Please use the following format: Yes, No, Yes, No, No, Yes, Yes, 29’.

Considering that Newcastle scored in the 1st half, you need them not to win the game to survive the first 5 penalties. Basically - you're in a really tough spot

[cygan]

things aren't going well for me at all in this round and in this cup!
since i still haven't won a single round in my division, i was also eliminated from the first round of the bsfl-cup today after a 1-2 loss against B1g4udge
with a performance like that, you'd almost expect the coach to be sacked...

[cryptofrka]

The Cup did its thing as always, I'm out and the focus is now back on the league.
Some games in the Cup are still waiting for the penalty shootouts, so we'll update on those soon.

Time to go back to what matters most!

The questions for Round 7 are here!

The deadline is Tuesday May 19th, 17:00 GMT (forum time).

European football, EL final, Euroleague, NBA/NHL and DOTA - a little bit of everything.

No, no. The penalties work like in a normal football game. The first five questions are first looked at. If it's a draw after the first five questions, the first question next where someone gets it right and other team wrong is a decider. I

Geez that means Im out of the Cup already. My opponent got the first 3 correctly and that settles it out of the first 5 penalties.

This is what I gets for trusting West Ham, I was expecting draw or a close win from West Ham but it looks like Tottenham gonna survive the relegation. They only need 1 more point out of 2 remaining games

Time to go back to what matters most!

Division 2 arallmuus vs Ozymandias_DZ

Its more like this is the only thing that I have left because I lost the cup and Im not rebuying back into LMS. Well it is what it is and what I need would be 3 points to continue my promotion run

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Well that’s me out of the cup already, a 3-2 loss to yassinmanal. I’m on a bit of a bad form streak, the club is getting itchy feet. The manager has been told he must win 2 of the next 3 league games or he will lose his job.

[cryptofrka]

The penalty shootouts are over, so we finally have a full list of Cup results.
Top 2 teams from Division 1 are out in the 1st Round already, a lot more surprises along the way as well.

[Trofo]

And here is a bit of graphic for those visual types out there. Can't believe how powerful AI is for some things and how problematic are others 

[Heyshbosh]

Damn well another early cup exit for me Lazio just couldn't score in this game can't blame Roma they scored 2 goals, had no luck this time around so now we put full attention to the league where its more important, good luck on your next rounds pina_pino.

Yup same for me bro damn! I had Roma and over 2.5 goals, and I got hope when Roma went up 2-0.. but roma didn't need more goals and red cards to both teams didn't make it any better 😁

As expected, I lost another round, but it was better to lose a cup round than another league round😁 Heyshbosh Congratulations and good luck in the cup 😁

Thanks ggs bro good luck for the rest of the league season! Focus back onto the league hoping to ride the momentum of the last few weeks I believe my opponent is Nheer so good luck hope we have a good match.

[Renato297]

If the cup round had been in the first round, I might have been eliminated. Only one answer was different and then I won. Now, back the  league I hope for positive things from my team.

[CLS63]

Match 21: LTU_btc vs cls63   2-2 (pen)

Congrats with a win in shootout and good luck in upcoming rounds. As usual, my cup journey ends very early. OK, focus now on league where things isn't going well for meat all. Instead of thinking about promotion, after poor start of season I have to think how to move out of relegation zone.

You won by penalty shootouts mate. It isn't me who won. Therefore congratulations to you instead. It is so sad for me to get eliminated this early from the cup. I had big dreams about it.

Now there is nothing else other than focusing on Division 1 championship. We can do this if we play better than this in the upcoming matches. But there is a long road ahead of us for it of course.

[Slissy]

Congratulations to all the winners who have advanced to the next round of the cup. Team Slissy will just have to try again next season😁 Now it's back to the league round and I really need 3 points😁

[BABY SHOES]

Cup tournaments are never good on my side, this time I was beaten by jeremypwr and he is now through to the next round.

Now that the BSFL league is back on, I have confidence in beating knuckey... like having confidence that we can get more deserved points.
