So question regarding ATP Montreal

It seems the games scheduled for today was postponed and Sinner will play tomorrow for his 1/8 finals. Thats still a long way for the final and Im not even sure if we will even get the result by the end of sunday

Code:

Sinner will be here to defend the title, he has been dominant on hard surface recently. Will he win the title and how?

This is the question so if he still stays in the tournament by sunday but the final game hasnt been played then what will happen to everyone that picked he will win the tournament by losing X sets ?

This one is a freak occurrence, I have already commented on it before and said we would wait bu things have changed a little from then. Did not watch the tournament but I can see we still have round 2 matches to be played. That means probably rain delays were present every day and I am not sure situation is getting better. Today is cloudy, Sunday and Monday are showers for Toronto. That means this tournament could go deep into next week. We have only two fair options here:
1. Void the question, if we decide on this course of action, our official statement will come before play starts today
2. Keep the round open for as long as it takes for tournament to finish

This is my personal opinion as a player, will talk it out with cryptofrka and we will made the decision before 3PM GMT today when play is scheduled to start. This will also result in another rule added to OP. Maybe something on the line what happens in delay situations.

Neither option is perfect since if we get good weather today I wouldn't be surprised to see some players playing even 3 matches and that isn't really conditions we had in mind when asking/answering questions.

To catch up with their schedule, there could be a possibility for the players to play twice on the same day unless there's an updated schedule.

It is already a huge mess imo, and the fixture is very clogged already.

Some players might eventually pull out or give up their match to lower seeded players, especially top seeds the who might want to participate in the Cincinnati open 2024, which officially begins tomorrow August 11th, although that would be a kind of tricky decision to make since both tournaments are ATP Masters 1000 events, it wouldn't make much sense to give up a potential quarter final spot up to go start from a round 32 or 16 in Cincinnati, while they might have no choice if the timeline can't afford them to win the QF match up, I'm sure there is going to be a change in the draws of the Cincinnati tournament, though.

7 people predicted that Croatia would advance to Waterpolo's final.
3 people predicted that Serbia would advance to Waterpolo's final.
1 person (ILuckyGuyI) predicted both finalists correctly.

Unfortunately for me, my opponent is one of those people, and now i'll need USA's basketball team to win dominantly later today for the equalizer.

I'm showing a terrible performance in this round. However when I check the spreadsheet I see that I'm not alone about this topic. Thankfully even though I have given 1 correct answer so far, the tie still continues as Trofo also made bad predictions as much as I did.

By the way I was going to create a spreadsheet for side bets. It totally went out of my mind. I'm very sorry for this. I'm going to handle it tomorrow. Embarrassed

I didn't think we (Croatia) had much chance for the final because we played Spain - but I felt Serbs had no chance at all. Will be a nice final, 2 waterpolo heavyweights paired against each other once again. We will be favorites I think, and we'll be taking that gold home.

It's just too bad that we would get another BSFL round before the game, the final as a question possibility would have made sense.

-----------------------------

I really don't know the possibility of me getting more than two questions for this round, that'd be solely dependent on Man City and Hull City doing their thing for me, or at least either of them, that's if Lebron and Chef Curry can cover the spread against Wemby and the French Basketball Olympics team.

I think you didn't understand cryptofrka correctly. All users need to have more than 2 points to survive.
cryptofrka said that some people need 2 points, because they have already received 1 point and he said some users need more than 2 points, because they now have zero point.

Just confirming that this is correct, thanks hosseinimr93

There was nothing wrong to grade it after Spain Women lost their game

The full phrase of the question was

Code:

Will both of their teams end up winning the medal, with at least one of them being the gold?

So both of these Spain team need to win a medal with atleast one of them being gold. Spain Women played for Bronze, they lost therefore they are not getting any medal so yeah the correct answer was NO and it was graded even before the other game started

Same goes to arallmuus, you don't need us guys anymore at all Cool

Things are not looking good for me in this round of BSFL, I made some mistakes and I was feeling sick the day when I answered questions Sad

I am already down 2:1 and I think I lost in last two questions, but I hope to win more points in next few days, every point can count in the end for better position.
This designer derbies are always hard for me for some reason Sad

That makes two of us as the freaking USA Water Polo team got handed their by Serbia, probably as revenge for losing to the USA in the Basketball Semi finals last night after dominating the game the entire first 3 quarter.

--------------------------

Shame on the Olympics anyway, you really just kind majority of the sports highlights anywhere even on Youtube huh Huh

Wtf are they and what's the relevance restricting media content creators or even big media outlets like ESPN unable to have the highlights, is there some rebroadcasting value or something I'm failing to understand ?

There were people predicting that correctly.

7 people predicted that Croatia would advance to Waterpolo's final.
3 people predicted that Serbia would advance to Waterpolo's final.
1 person (ILuckyGuyI) predicted both finalists correctly.

Spain missed the penalty to make it 1-1 in the 98th minute. 'No' was the expected pick after Spain's womel lost to Brazil. I thought Spain will have both men and women in the finals.

Yea makes sense, got that wrong, thanks!

What a crazy game between France and Spain. That's rough giving that lead away after 3-1. But it was deserved I guess as France put up all the pressure and dominated the game as far as I can see. Still though having a penalty against you shortly before the final whistle is always brutal.

Looking brutal in LMS standings, we still have 4 regular questions to go but a lot of people need 2 (some more than 2) points to survive. H2H's are looking horrible for most, so there won't be much to gain there as well.

Will be an interesting weekend ahead of us.

All those that have 2 points per round or less will be eliminated...

I thought it is pretty much over for me this round as it is looking awful so far.

Damn you were right about Serbia. Now USA still looks safe for a gold, but now our 52+ points selection doesn't look as easy as I thought too. If it wasn't for S Curry, we'd already be out.

Hah yeah, it went pretty much as I speculated. I expected the tough game, but not as close as it was.

Quote from: slaman29 on August 09, 2024, 07:58:02 AM

@cryptofrka seems to think US will hammer France. I can't decide now. Maybe should bet on France as a sort of consolation if US don't make it Tongue

I think that it will an easier game for them than vs Serbia as I think they learned a lesson or two last night and will want to show everyone that they are undoubtedly the best team at the moment. So they gonna go hard from the start.

Last 6 MVP awards were won by non-US players so yeah, things are changing. Having said that, NBA is basically unwatchable at the moment. Well, at least the regular season part of it.

The bookies have placed handicap margins at around 15-16, in BSFL it is 12,5. I think those with 52 or more take this one easily.

All I was thinking for this question is USA have NBA. And yes, other countries have been catching up in recent years but I doubted to the level required for this Olympics. I'm not sure how I'll think in another four years, but if I'm still on BSFL answering Olympics 2028, my life is probably too dull to be thinking differently.

Damn you Spain, by the way. Definitely a lot of people in trouble for LMS, I don't think I'm in jeopardy just yet, but tomorrow evening will paint a clearer picture. Trofo took a point from Spain so he'll be breathing well.

I hope you're right, on paper they could easily win by at least 20 points, but I also don't want to underestimate France as much.
