Only 3 different answers between Trofo and me-great minds indeed think alike.
I was quite uncertain about the tennis question, but I'm feeling better now that I've seen he went with the same names as I did.

Since 2 out of the 3 different questions are on Thursday, we may know the winner very soon.

@paco, my boy, there is not much to win for you this round! Points are already booked, early promotion party planned for Saturday evening this coming weekend.

I can't remember the questions now, but I think they were not too complicated. Hopefully we have a few different answers, it sucks if it's over when the first three questions are over. I want some action and a slow and painful defeat for you, haha

Jokes aside, good luck!

Nice to see some good rivalry and sportsmanship. It's refreshing! We have plenty to cheer for with so many different answers, so it's going to be a fun week ahead of us. May you be crushed by my superior knowledge of the Nations League

Just FYI - igebotz notified us that he is rebuying LMS.
He will send the rebuy later tonight - as always, we will accommodate such requests.

Very good donation to keep the chest fatter, it's not like he stand much of a chance to win it, so it's fine to allow such request, but when it's players like vd309 then that's going to be a real problem, Igebotz and his padi should get a donator status in the LMS hall of fame.

The list have grown thin now that the minimum 3 points might no longer help to stay alive, it was players with 4 points that were eliminated in the last, 13 players left with 8 rounds to go, at this stage last season there were 16 players left and in season 8 there were 12 players, so still hovering around a decent average.

Let's hope tonight's tennis is watchable. WTA always gives me good streams (I'm assuming as there's not much traffic to share bandwidth) and I do miss a bit of that grunting and huffing.

As far as I remember, since I joined BSFL, the deadline has always been on Tuesdays.

I've got terrible memory. I sometimes hesitate when entering my division in the form. I even have a sign on my toilet door to remind me to clean up before I exit.

Start getting some points, I vouched for you and you're embarrassing me in front of my virtual buddies.

We went beyond the point of embarrassment a while back. Now when I see crowolf, I'm reminded of the company Cro2 keep. Shoddy, smelly, incompetent.

Deadlines are always on Tuesday, even in (really rare) cases in which none of the questions start on Tuesdays.
Q9 is football, we will always write if it is some other sport. No wonder you're dropping Divisions with such lethargy.

Gotta give you bastards some breathing space in Div1 so you get to keep some self esteem. Oldies like me don't find winning fun any longer.

I chose to play LMS up to this point for the first time, I think you should be scared seeing me paying 0.5 to keep playing- I honestly want to see how far I can go; the plan was not to get eliminated but Aston Villa had another plan for me.. let's see.

Trofo here you go

I wanted to go with Andreeva, have a feeling she will do great here. But I knew you and everyone else will have same best odds combo so decided to go same way. Placing bets on Andreeva is better play, since then I am actually getting value from odds and not just taking unnecessary risks

Pegula could also rise, even though she already lost one match. She was in good from in later part of the season. Sabalenka is actually in probably worst form here.

[notblox1]

I sent my predictions on time and I am ready for another battle of round 9.
Nations League stamp is all over this round on BSFL and this will make more interesting following results for this matches.
I see that I have many same answers as my opponent in this round, so this could be another tight round for me.
Attack on top position continues and I have a good gut feeling in this round, it is perfect time for nice comeback win.

Give or Take next two rounds we will be back to have you buy in again, if I were Trofo I will be happy having over ambitious players like you increasing his potential take home price. At this point you cannot win again my leader, for the very first time accept defeats early

[goodpunt]

@goodpunt holding on to the lead, watch out for the mafia breathing down your neck! @ralle14 if we can both secure a win, we can maybe join our teammate high in the sky, so good luck to us all!

All my answers sent, I chose 2 answers I didn't like but want to roll the dice, as well as a tennis player who always lets me down

Please no, that would add too many variables
Just joking for my GSR teammates I will gladly throw my former poker and current inplay trader mindset out the window and just say let's conquer the first three places!
Best of luck for the current round

[Harkorede]

Yeah! I shot myself in the head, I should have known better than change my pick from Maxey to Tatum,

this was my initial decision before changing it when I was trying to submit, I only picked Tatum because I thought most people would as the stats supported him, but deep down Maxey was supposed to be the easy call for me.

It's rich of you to not think Trofo is only a placeholder and wouldn't end up with the bag either... Watch the script unfold, just watch...

[NotATether]

I shot myself in the head by forgetting to make my picks yesterday. 

I did get the notification, but I should probably put like a Dot on it or something next time

/snip

Argh... Already a point down against chi20. I hate basketball so I didn't bother to properly research that 50/50 question. If I had, I would have probably went with Maxey as he has more points (320) than Tatum (265) this season. I know that it doesn't have to mean much, but this time just looking at that statistic would get me a point in the first question. But I have six more different answers so there is plenty of chances to turn this round.

When I saw Boston winning big, I was sure I won that one. Maxey shot 8 for 12 though - he took 5 shots less than Tatum and still outscored him. He was at 75% for 3PT.
Also, quite unexpectedly, Tatum shot only 2 FT's in 32 minutes on the court.

Tatum was the play here - it just went against us this time.

Be careful, you inherited 1 failed submission already. This was your 2nd one, 3rd one kicks you permanently out of BSFL
Put an alarm or something, or simply submit early and then use VAR later on if needed.

Their averages are almost identical - Tatum played less games.

[VashaUdacha777]

This round isn't off to a good start for me. I watched a 10-minute highlight video of the Boston vs. Philadelphia game, and I could've sworn Tatum scored more points than Maxey. Imagine my surprise when I checked the final stats: Tatum had just 21 points, while Maxey finished with 24. Luckily, my opponent had also picked Tatum instead of Maxey, so at least the score in our matchup stayed tied!

[slaman29]

I made at least 4 changes from my original draft, and I'm sure one of them could eventually come to bite me in the butt... Tennis was also one of questions that I altered, along with NBA and about 3 answers in football considering multiple absence that I predict looks likely to be be happening in the first matches (my Nations league selections are wayward, I must say).

Knew it. I picked Gauff and she always let me down, and she lost so probably won't even go to semifinal, I just knew it and yet I did it. Thankfully my opponent also did the same...

@ralle14 if we can both secure a win, we can maybe join our teammate high in the sky, so good luck to us all!

I'll do what I can, as these international matches are usually my weakest rounds. It would be a good way to condition ourselves and gain some form before the next RTG round.  

Yeah, we had a run of bad luck, smallest tiniest fractions of luck but I think we just need to take advantage when it swings to our way. Enjoy your round buddy

Yeah it’s good to see rugby back in BSFL. I’m not a rugby fan but I used to play on the wing for our local team when I was about 10

You must be a tough guy! All the guys I know who played rugby are hard. And also even in personality better than those supposedly football freaks who are in reality soft and whiny. I never watched the game itself, don't understand it

You cannot blame yourself for this; it was a 50/50 chance, as the stats pointed out that both teams and both players had similar stats. In the end, it came down to 3 points to determine who was better—a really minor difference. I was going on the assumption that the home team would win, and when I saw the Celtics won, I knew that Maxey had a slightly better game.

/snip

It will be tough, but it's not a done deal. Gauff lost the match against Noskova but Pegula still has to play against Noskova. If Pegula loses her game against Noskova, Gauff will advance into the semifinals. But what do I care... It's all the same to me because I have the same answer as my opponent

[darxiaomi]

I was also in a big doubt i also ended up selecting Tatum because i feel like Tatum is a more important player into the Boston than Maxey in the Philadephia team, i mean Maxey and Tatum are equal palyers but for example i was expecting to see Lebron scoring more points and taking the star spot in this super relevant game taking a lot of points from Maxey.
Sadly all that happened but in the inverse case in which Paul George score like crazy and took the points from his teammate Tatum so we ended up losing this point.

Now im 1- behind and with no point in LMS.

[Rikafip]

I wanted to go with Andreeva, have a feeling she will do great here. But I knew you and everyone else will have same best odds combo so decided to go same way. Placing bets on Andreeva is better play, since then I am actually getting value from odds and not just taking unnecessary risks

The way I see it, that's one less thing to worry about, as you certainly know more about tennis than I do and probably anyone else in BSFL.

Told you to set up some sort of extra notification, perhaps an hour before the deadline. I learned that lesson the hard way when I was kicked out of BSFL in my very first season and then had to pay a fee to rejoin.

Haven't missed a submission since then.

[buwaytress]

Fantasy basketball had way more Maxeys than Tatums, but I thought to myself: I'm going to go against Fantasy! Maamanda didn't and is now ahead. Here bubu goes again.

Pegula could also rise, even though she already lost one match. She was in good from in later part of the season. Sabalenka is actually in probably worst form here.

All points agreed, but I took the worst form and odds combination here: Saba and Andreeva. Only because of the shitshow that is currently group A. Pegula's the most consisten of the three there but I'm not sure she survives Saba (whom I think meets her). Even on bad form she should power through, the only way she knows. I'll end up wrong, of course.
