Nah, I'm Polish, and I don't really support any of the German clubs. I used to watch a lot of Bundesliga though and I'm aware that Schalke was a force to be reckoned with for most of its history (and still has great potential in terms of the number of supporters and stadium attendance), so I expect more of them than from other newly promoted clubs.

Well done to Dzonikg for winning this round and jumping up the table by 10 places, and to Cygan for getting the bonus question right.

3 weeks in and I still haven't managed to get any exact score right 9i.e. a 4-pointer), but I'm not that far behind the top guys, so it's all good.

Ah sorry for the mistake, honestly I'm not so good in geography or names, but now that I see your name, somehow the back of my brain told me that I should have noted it is not a German name

But yes well done to the boss of this pool of course it makes sense he got the bonus question right! I almost forgot we had those in this pool. Do you know if there are other questions that will pop up during the season or its just this?

the bonus questions (which everyone should answer before the season starts) won't become 'active' until the event occurs
and the next bonus question, where you can earn 4 extra points, is: which club will be in first place in the standings after the 1st leg of the season?

the 3rd matchday of the bundesliga came to a close with a 2-1 away win for bayern against newly promoted elversberg.
this time, we’d like to congratulate dzonikg28 on winning the matchday!
with a solid 17 points, he’s secured a 50 USDT free bet on Vega.bet - congratulations!
fortunately, there were no changes at the very top of the standings

cygan, you’re probably not too happy that bonus points are only awarded to the final total - after all, if they had counted in the round where the outcome actually "hit," you would have had 18 points and secured a free bet 
It wasn't a particularly convincing victory for Bayern (perhaps Elversberg is just that good?), but Kane demonstrated exactly what is expected of a future Ballon d'Or winner: he decided the outcome through individual brilliance.
Congratulations to dzonikg28 on winning the round!

well, in the end, it would be better if those four bonus points were the deciding factor when the pool-championship title is being determined, rather than just this one matchday victory

I wouldn't count on it. I plan to repeat that round from the last season where I got every game result correct After pretty bad start, I'm slowly climbing up the table. One or two perfect weekends and I'll be above you

Thanks man, seems like a long way to go. Even had to look up this 1st leg, had no idea German league saw this kind of milestone, is it something traditional and do teams do something special about it?

Seems like we'll all get 4 or 0 points on that one unless some brave soul picked something else

the 'Herbstmeister' title has existed since the introduction of the 1. bundesliga in 1963. however, this unofficial title is not celebrated by the clubs in any way
in the 63 seasons to date, 16 different teams have been 'Herbstmeister'... bayern münchen has achieved this the most often (28 times), followed by werder bremen (6 times) and borussia mönchengladbach and borussia dortmund (4 times each)

Lol, that's most likely what will happen.
It crossed my mind to pick Dortmund instead, but picking underdogs doesn't seem like a good strategy unless you're behind in points and have no other choice.

Daft question that drives me nuts: what does the "W" column represent?

Wins, in this case total number of matchday win. Its 0.25 for you because 4 people shared MD2 wins

P = Points ( for each matchday )
B = Bonus points
W = Wins
T = Total points

it seems Cygan's 1 W comes from being the sole winner of the bonus round question (?)

well, in the end, it would be better if those four bonus points were the deciding factor

Most of the 16-18th teams are gonna overlap each another so you have secured the most crucial bonus points there

everything here has been described correctly!
the number of 'wins (w)' is also important at the end of the season, because in the case of a tie in points between first and second place, the 'wins' are taken into account - whoever has more wins.

Thank you, very interesting piece of trivia and maybe something some teams can make fun of if they visit the stadium of their opponents

That is tough to decide at the beginning of the season when nobody has a disadvantage! For sure I'm one of those who picks crazy results when I'm already below the middle in a pool, this is where the bonus question comes in handy. But at start of season? Totally doesn't make sense to me so I will salute you as much as @cygan if you get this right!!
