Wow, Bayern finally lost their unbeaten record. To mighty Augsburg... who actually outshot the home team. Didn't watch, just looked at the scores now. Naturally, no one predicted this, and bad boy LTU_btc got another leg up on me with that very nice Mainz pick. A handful of games to go, no one thought BVB had it in them for three goals?

[cygan]

with an impressive 20 points, Saint-loup secured the matchday victory this weekend – congratulations!
there were no changes in the top five places this time.
Kanapka fell furthest, having completely forgotten to predict any of the saturday afternoon games...

[buwaytress]

Nicely done, Saint-loup. I noticed there will also be 2 games played today; a remainder from 2 Gameweeks ago, before the actual gameweek matches begin.

Thought my eyes were betraying me, as is their wont these days, but Kicktipp scrolling showed at least two GWs with games yet-to-commence, so I guess this is all January reshuffling.

after yesterday's two catch-up games (from matchday #16) and the resulting scores and points awarded between LTU_btc and buwaytress, we can now congratulate LTU_btc on winning the first leg!
with one game still to play from matchday #17 (hamburg vs. leverkusen), he already has a 6-point lead and cannot be caught
this means that LTU_btc wins the 0.0025BTC!!!
please send me a Bitcoin address where i can send these funds - congratulations!!!!

Well done LTU! Well bloody done! I knew the chance had gone as soon as Bremen had that goal disallowed (pretty cool goal if it stood, for many reasons personally haha)... but to be perfectly fair to you, had the goal stood and the match remained as is, you would have a further 2 points to your lead.

Very decent prize money, and a great idea to have a "first leg" victory prize. Enjoy the satoshi!

Wow, it's very unexpected and made my day much better. Simply this 1st leg and it's prize got out of my head completely. Thanks guys! Already now I can call my season successful. But it will be very difficut to keep 1st place, opponents is very close from me.
Sent PM with BTC address.

Wow, the first half of the tournament ended unexpectedly 
Congratulations to LTU_btc on the intermediate prize, I think few people remembered about this option in the pool, so it was a pleasant surprise.
By the way, we have a tighter competition this year. There are 11 points between first and seventh place, while last year, after 19 rounds, there were already 17 between first and fifth place.
Good luck to everyone in the second half of the tournament!

I made a very decenct round again, but is incredible how i cant get a green arrow to the side of my name on the leaderboard, when i always go up one position another player also overtake me and so i remain in the exact same position.

Congratulations to LTU on his win, i didnt remember about the "winter" prize.

Anyways i feel like in this season we are much more compact in the leaderboard right?

[cygan]

in less than 8 hours the 20th matchday in the bundesliga starts with the game köln vs. wolfsburg and the battle for the top ranks begins again
to make sure that all pool participants submit their picks in time, here is a reminder for all those who are missing out:

Anyways i feel like in this season we are much more compact in the leaderboard right?

Feel the same way, and just checked -- last season there was a gap of 50 points between 1st and 10th, but also only 15 between 1st and 5th.

At this halfway stage it's 16 points between 1st and 10th, but also 9 points between 1st and 5th. I'd say it's more or less as compact at the top 5, but we're on track to reduce the 1st-to-10th deficit by about 40%. 100 points separated 1 from 15 last season, but it's only 21 points so far this season.

Definitely more compact!

[cygan]

Trofo and slackovic each score 21 points and win matchday #20 – congratulations!
LTU_btc manages to pull ahead and now has an 11-point lead over the new second-placed, Etiquette.exe

Woohoooo! I have finally started rising from the bottom of the table. I started OK and then got into a series of bad rounds. But in the last two rounds I managed to score 38 points! I don't know if that's a lot, but to me it surely is a lot! Do we share the freebet or what? I'm not used to getting freebets lately

[cryptofrka]

Good that you're not used to them because you're not getting any

Unfortunately, the agreements in all pools sponsored by SB were made with old SB team - the league rewards will be paid out because the money is escrowed but there are no more freebets in any of the pools sponsored by Sportsbet.

cygan - my man - what's happening? If I don't miss any of the upcoming rounds, I'll surpass you eventually..

Ah, that's too bad. I forgot about the Sportsbet problem. Maybe it should be removed from the OP then. I mean the freebet awards. I wasn't sure if there are any so I read the OP and there was the info about freebets for each round winner. The fact that I forgot about Sportsbet problem only shows how rare I get freebets

so if that happens this season, you'll definitely have earned it... especially since you completely forgot to place picks for a few matchdays (i think it was two)

if you want, we can make a side bet

[buwaytress]

Well, it was bound to end at some point. A horrible round with only 40% of the points from the top people, and now an uphill task to chase LTU_btc once more. I blame my instincts to support Freiburg and others -- knowing I shouldn't have. Enjoy the miserable altitudes, gentlemen. I'll be sure to shoot myself in the foot again.

You lead by almost 30 points with 14 games to go, you'd have to either give me insane odds or miss 2 rounds
