What are you guys talking about? Players are playing as I type this and will play again tomorrow. Schedule on all tennis tournaments is done day by day. You never know the exact time earlier than that. Usually the games are listed to start all at the same time before they get slotted properly.

Only strange thing for this one is final on Thursday. Never seen that before. it was always final on Sunday and tournament was starting earlier if necessary. For instance qualifications start on Monday, main draw on Thursday and then it finishes on Sunday.

I see, it's just yesterday I could see the schedule for today while the others were playing.
One moment, I just checked the schedule again - it's now out on their official website, they were a bit late today.

Damn West Ham conceded a goal and now I dont have any chance to win this round
My only hope now is for Fluminense to win against Botafogo so I can avoid defeat and get one point from draw in this round.
I expected more in this round but I will have to win in last round and hope other results will go in my favor.

[mv1986]

@cryptofrka feel free to thank me for cleaning the way to the top! @cls63 is still holding the lead as I can see, which means you'd jump to 1st!

@hosemary you know how this works, all these strange Croatian messages on Telegram. I had to be serious this round, you never know.


Damn this is the last straw, if my rough calculations are correct, I should at least have a final try in the last round.

[buwaytress]

Big yawn, what's going on here? West Ham, thank you for not letting me down. Unlike Shelton, winning that for nothing.

As far as I know he isn't working right now: Arne Slot

I am going to have nightmares about that gif for the rest of my life. Every time we went 1-0 down, which was usually in the first 20 minutes I would go to TG and CLS would have dropped the dancing bald guy

I am sure he has an Iraola one ready 

I discovered around the same time that my sense of humour has gone to the toilet. That gif made me laugh again and again, and you always knew CLS63 was waiting with his finger on the trigger as soon as Liverpool conceded. Turkish Iraola gif, bring it on!

[el che]

If memory serves the cup semis and final used to close out the BSFL season over the last couple of years.

Nope, we conclude with the Cup finals - because that's when we have the promotion/relegation playoffs as well.
So, it will be the Cup Semifinals, last round of the season and then the Cup Finals.

True that, my bad.. my memory didn't serve me well there! Still not entirely convinced there isn't some funny business going on behind the scenes though.. lol

Only strange thing for this one is final on Thursday. Never seen that before. it was always final on Sunday and tournament was starting earlier if necessary. For instance qualifications start on Monday, main draw on Thursday and then it finishes on Sunday.

Usually two back to back Masters take up a 4 week block, however the ATP and WTA squeezed Canada and Cincy into a 3 week block starting this year, they did this to keep a free week on the calendar right before the US Open. Canada starts main draw on a sunday and wraps up with its final on a thursday, Cincy starts its main draw on that exact same thursday and runs through to a sunday final.


As for Shelton, I thought more people would expect him to go deep in the tournament. Winning it last year means he has 1,000 points to defend here.

[ralle14]

That EFL result between West Ham and Portsmouth was much needed to keep us in this round for one more question.

I'm nervous about how the final H2H gets decided in the Gent/Mechelen match, and it makes me want to hedge with a double chance so I get a bit of something either way. 

[goodpunt]

I really need a break from BSFL....just watched and hedged the match Botafogo vs Fluminense.
I avoided defeat and the live-standings in Division 2 are really nerve-wracking.
Still not very confident about LMS survival but who knows.

In any case, big thanks to buwaytress for winning against one of my direct rivals for promotion

[slackovic]

With a draw between Botafogo and Fluminese, it looks like I have lost this round to Kokee44. He is leading 2-0 and with only one more different question, I have no way of getting even a draw. I hope that this loss won't set me back a lot and that I still have a chance of direct promotion.

[Trofo]

Usually two back to back Masters take up a 4 week block, however the ATP and WTA squeezed Canada and Cincy into a 3 week block starting this year, they did this to keep a free week on the calendar right before the US Open. Canada starts main draw on a sunday and wraps up with its final on a thursday, Cincy starts its main draw on that exact same thursday and runs through to a sunday final.

I was expecting something like that but couldn't be bothered to actually check. Now you already know one question for last BSFL round. We will almost certainly cover Cincy.


My round going from bad to worse, decision to buy back month ago will now cost me about 5mBTC  Not giving up now for sure and I am certain nobody ever had 3 LMS buybacks in a row and now it will be 4 for me.

[cygan]

it looks like (i'm still waiting for the official announcement of the results) that i won the current round against russeras...
the score is currently 3-3 and since sporting tied 2-2 last night and didn’t score 3 or more goals, i get this point.
this win is very important for me to avoid relegation and continue playing in div #3 next season

[Koal-84]

Yesterday was a really good day for me, so far, I have four correct answers, and my competitor only has one. And there are only two questions left, so these are three very important points for me. There’s still one round to go, but at least I’m definitely staying in Division 3.

[leea-1334]

Damn why did I pick over for Middelsborough, I thought Wrexham surely can score a goal so over 2.5 was for me a certainty,,, really overestimated this team because of last season. Just good about West Ham, but it looks like LMS has a chance to take more money from me, and I will be forced to pay. I should be happy with a win buy you know,,, LMS  

Tennis I can do. But DOTA... I have no idea about it and how to research it so I just guess it. But don't worry about me. Just bring it on. I can beat you even with DOTA, CS and other "sports"

DOTA, CS, water polo,,, bring them on you can beat the mafia!

At least I know that I will have the whole BSFL cheering for me in the next round. I already feel pretty pumped up for the battle against Trofo

[cryptofrka]

@cryptofrka feel free to thank me for cleaning the way to the top! @cls63 is still holding the lead as I can see, which means you'd jump to 1st!

Don't jinx it, man.. darxiaomi doesn't look that far away from drawing against me.
I'm following both duels and I appreciate the help

You took points from me if I remember correctly - so it's only fair to help me out when it matters most

___________________________________

LMS going well too - but again, 2 crucial points yet remain in play. I'm safe from a rebuy though - so that's a positive but it won't matter much. Whoever loses will be rebuying - points are all that matters now.

Good for you; I'm still on the knife here and all hope lies on Gent to win today so I can walk away with a draw- anything less is bad for my team and we could be heading to div3 ( had nightmares there). Not sticking to my initial "draw" answer on the No.8 question cost me a point. We're sacking this bastard manager at the end of the season ( 6 managers sacked in 4 years)  

Changing answers last minute never helped-  how I keep doing it is beyond me.

Yeah I saw it is still on the fence for you. Although rosemary is taking a hit against me, his score difference is still strong, so you would essentially need a win to really benefit from this round. Yes, beat the division 1 winner with class, only to get relegated with class! That's how I like it! And with division 1 winner I mean you @cryptofrka, but funny enough that I beat 2 out of the top 3 as of now and have some of the worst stats in the league. Well, reminds me of a time when I was 15 and I played on federal state level in Germany, but it was the other way around and slightly different: first half of the season, we lost 10 out of 11 games or so, then were fully underestimated when winter break ended and finished second half of the season as 1st. (Little side note: as a player with rotating positions from defense to offense, I was top scorer that year, free kicks were my thing! ). After that season I had to quit football because of a massive knee injury. Let's see if BSFL holds a happy end for me

[LFC_Bitcoin]

I’ve been checking other results in Division 3 and it seems team LFC_Bitcoin will remain in Division 3 for another season. We always seem to forget to submit one round every season and it has cost us a promotion spot two seasons in a row now.

The manager will be dragged through the town by his ankles and pelted with rotten fruit. It’s not good enough and an example must be made of his inadequacy. The final game of the season is a dead rubber for us.

[cryptofrka]

Feyenoord won, Gent 2-0 up.. All eyes on Ajax now.
It is one of the most important games for me in this BSFL season - both in the title hunt and in LMS considering that most people at the top have different answers.

I did hedge with 2,5 mBTC @4 odds before the game started but I'd rather take the points than 10 mBTC.

[slaman29]

Feyenoord won now lets see if Ajax is still shit even though I don't need it anymore as I won this round, it would still be great for my points difference.

I guess they decided to give TWO days of rest because I see that they are already fixed for a schedule for Monday night my time already. Quite rare for R16 but the mafia wrote it themselves this was a very weird game of tennis to be doing.

I was only talking about Shelton because on my site I could clearly see him and Fonseca scheduled for Monday night, which was more than 2 days rest for him. I was just a bit surprised because I can understand if it was done for finals or even semifinals. I see now it is brought forward to Monday morning or I guess still Sunday in Canada but yeah it was too late still for our BSFL.

[cryptofrka]

While we wait for the Round 16 games to finish, we can proceed by posting the questions for the Cup.
We'll host the Cup Semifinals, than the last round of Season 9, and finish the season with the Cup Finals and promotion/relegation playoffs.

The questions for Cup Semifinals are here!

The deadline is Tuesday August 11th, 17:00 GMT (forum time).

The Cup draw is the following:

Semifinals:

MAAManda - B1g4udge

We will also hold the 5-8th place playoffs - the prizes are different. The matchups will be:

5-8th place playoffs:

leea-1334 - Koal-84
el che - ralle14

Good luck to you all
