For notifications we can configure Telegram in a bot, when Trofo or Cryptofrka tags me, the Telegram bot notifies the update of the tables and the questions of the next round, I think not everyone here knows it.

The Telegram bot notification has been discussed a few times here already in both the first and second seasons, I'm pretty almost every player here uses it, but the problem how often people pay attention to the notifications, it could be easily when you're away from your devices for a while when the reminder comes, but the interest is what will make everyone not forget about submitting their picks, no amount of notification can help when there is an apparent lack of interest, it's just the same thing with how many people you actively find in the Gambling discussion and how many people have actually ever joined any of the league pools hosted here.

That's true. I have a Telegram bot set up to notify me on every new message here and it works well. I turned off notifications on almost every Telegram channel that I'm a part of so I don't get pinged that much. But I have also developed a habit on checking questions on Monday and answering them trough Monday and Tuesday so I never miss the deadline.

But I agree that if someone is not that interested in the BSFL, all the notifications in the world won't make them submit answers on time.

We have a group, so both a group and a channel would be overkill. We could maybe improve a bit and pin stuff more often.
You could and you should do it in next season  Grin
For start you can try to post reminders for people to send questions on time.
We dont need to have 100 players but we need players that wont frequently miss to send answers and make a mess in Division 3.

That place is boring and quiet as graveyard( the part nobody will tell you). I left the same day I joined and I never looked back. All discussion is better on this thread, I do not see any reason to create a telegram group honestly.
Dont say that!

In fact Sportsbet telegram is very active in other parts, so BSFL telegram needs to improve and be up to standards.

I am the Sheriff, and this is what I do, correct? I'm interested what we'll be discussing in the Telegram group that we can't have here, like banter and sharing some hilarious emojis, right? But, again, how many individuals are willing to join the group and stay active? There are over 50 players in the league, but only about 20 are active on the thread, the rest are uninterested in this discussion, and convincing them to join the Telegram group will be difficult.

I like the idea I'm not kicking against it just stating the obvious.

I could have taken up Trofo for a side bet - the week is boring and longer than I expected.

This is why I didn't join AFCON pool. I have no idea about that and also about Asian cup so I would have definitely lost.

I guess this will be another boring round because Trofo and me have many answers that are the same. But that doesn't mean we can't comment on the results Smiley

Well, maybe sometimes having no idea could also turn into an advantage! Tongue But playing several pools and BSFL can become quite time consuming if someone is willing to put in the time to conduct thorough research. BSFL is fun, but it is a little challenge at times. When a different sport comes up, I always wonder whether Trofo and Cryptofrka have included a little trick to make the question more fun. That's when I end up taking quite some time to understand drawings and stuff, like in the Snooker questions for example.

Didn't pay a lot of attention to AFCON either and I really have no idea how most of the national teams there are doing. Who is actually the favorite for that tournament?

Hello @trofo and cryptofrka,  don't know if this is a suggestion or should I call it help.  I was thinking if there's a way one can actually see through spreadsheet answers with mobile.  Like if you guys can leave a enough space for viewing answers since there's always some space left at the spreadsheet.  Because mostly one is always with his/her phone and its can be easily checked without having to use a laptop. 
Summary, I can't really check my opponent answers with my phone when there's a long answer to a question.  Can you guys leave enough space for the answers to be viewable on mobile. Like right now , my Microsoft isn't responding and instand of me to just check my opponent answers with my mobile,  I can't see all his answers because some answers are long .

Nobody can predict those things, that is why it is fun to play. I have no idea and don't plan to watch them anytime soon, does not mean I am gonna skip the pool. Did not even check the table until now and I was quite sure I am already a goal or two behind so seeing that we are still even will count like a win in my book  Grin

Well... If I join a pool then I like to research my answers before submitting them. And I have no idea about teams playing the AFCON cup so I don't like doing research on teams like that.

As for our sidebet, I hope that Zheng can beat Yastremska who is a qualificant to go trough to the final.

AFCON and Asian cup are interesting to follow scores and learn flags (I am challenging my kid to recognize all of them), but to watch football is pretty much boring
last two matches were prime AFCON, two 0:0 games, and Tunisia as one of tournament favorites needed a win, but didn't attack at all
so they joined their neighbors Algeria, they can fly home together

while on Asian cup only question is will Japan win, or South Korea, and that match will probably be interesting to watch as well
but as twitter pointed out (didn't check, but think that is true), India and China have 2,8 billion people together, but playing 6 matches on Asian cup, against mediocre teams, and didn't even score a goal, not mentioning eventually win a match

Yeah, why wouldn't Indonesia score in extra time to ruin my pick?
The amount of 'against the odds' situations that are happening to me are beyond belief.

Harko, I'll still get you though. But a lead would have been nice to start with.

I was never going to trust Japan not after they lost to Iraq a couple of days ago, I'm quite surprised by the number of those that went with a Japan to win by 3-4 goals, after the halftime ended 1-Nil, I believed the likelihood was slimmer, although hell yeah, I was very close to getting it wrong, but if your arse was about to be saved by an 88th minute own goal, I guess I'd gladly take a 90+1 minute consolation goal too  Grin

I believe no other person will have this history like me then. It's not the best but it's not the worst at all. Yes let's do the friendly Smiley I submitted my answers already, I know we are challenging for friendly but I wish you very good luck.
Wouldn't put myself on favorite's role because I'm not doing significantly better than you - I also fight to avoid relegation and I think that I I don't have perfect H2H record with you.
I'm fine with 1 mbtc, submitted my picks today. Good luck to you too!

You had a great win in the last round, I was cheated by West Ham or I'd join you with another 3 points, I guess we'll be at best fighting each other for playoff spot, you have the advantage. 1 mbtc it is, good luck to you!

I was checking the spreadsheet to see if there some weirdo that had Algeria to finish as the (4th) last in Group D and to my biggest surprise there is none!!! @Cro2 have there been any round where everybody across all division all got the first question to a game round wrongly ? If no then this round should be null and void, what the actual hell of a tournament! Grin Grin

AFCON is really surprising. Ghana out, Algeria out, Egypt barely made it. Only Senegal I think is living up to reputation but we have some crazy goalscoring festivals all over so I'm not even mad lol

Usually 3A and 3B guys go for weirdo answers, and usually they get it right, but nobody saw this coming. Bigger upset than 4-0 defeat of Ivory Coast??

I was thinking if you can create official BSFL telegram channel for posting important news, updates and notifications.
And where you think I am holding BSFL chat? We already have that channel, not my fault nobody from bitcointalk wants to visit it  Grin I am promoting it about once a month here and I am inviting people there in every article I have written this season.

Not sure about the 1st question, but occasionally we have a question which nobody answers correctly.
Since we have 50+ people playing, it's getting more rare though.

cryptofrka and Trofo allow me to make some suggestions for BSFL since I am not competing this round.

This can be under Sportsbet, or independent channel, but I think it will help for next season to reduce number of people who forget to post predictions on time.

Crossed our minds at some point, yeah - but as Harkorede said, most of the things in BSFL are already known and work on a defined schedule.
If BSFL expands to 100+ players (which isn't something we're looking to do at this point) or if we have problems with relaying information in the future, we'll see what to do to change it.

We have a group, so both a group and a channel would be overkill. We could maybe improve a bit and pin stuff more often.

This is chat group in Sportsbet telegram, I know about it and I am already a member.
Channel is something different, there is no conversation, no bots, only posts with news, results, rounds ann, and other important things.
Last time something was pinned in BSFL chat was September 28  Grin

Trofo, what's up with the WTA question? Gauff and Sabalenka are playing the semifinal game so one of them will surely lose before the final. Is this your way of securing at least one point for that question?
In my mind this tournament goes to the winner between Gauff & Sablanka match. I have no idea who will come trough from the top half of the draw so I decided to secure a point this time rather than leave it all to the luck. Never on my side anyway.

This can be under Sportsbet, or independent channel, but I think it will help for next season to reduce number of people who forget to post predictions on time.

I think creating a telegram group or channel will be more or less but them taking away the attention and engagement that were supposedly meant to be directed here or towards the Sportsbet chat to another platform, almost everyone here have a means to setup a reminder not to forget to submit there answers, for those that forget my opinion is that other things takes precedence and they probably remember a bit too late, but I'm very sure none of those who forget to make their predictions would be active on telegram at the point of any sent reminder, for instance I personally have the few groups I am on telegram muted.

There is only one constant thing in life, which is death right, but as BSFL there are also two constant things; 1. The questions get posted every Sunday (which I supposed is a free day for almost every body here). 2. There is a deadline of almost 48 hours, which is Tuesdays at 6PM GMT, and it has never change.

So, in my most candid opinion, anyone who is genuinely interested here would find a 5-10 minutes of free time between Sunday and Tuesday to submit even if it were just randomly guessed answers.
