Statistically, Monaco does score 2 goals on average. However - I expected a closer game with less goals overall and therefore went below their average.
With 2 goals behind and 4 different answers until the end, doesn't look good for me once again. Especially since the City-Liverpool question is a hard one to guess correctly.

I'm looking forward to that game, if Salah scores I get another red in BSFL but he's my captain in fantasy. Not sure what I'd prefer at this point in time Grin

You have nothing to play for since even if Salah doesn't score, you'll still lose, so if I were you, I'd want Salah to score, and keep in mind, he's my captain this GW.  I'm all for Salah masterclass both here and in the fantasy pool..

Let's leave the BSFL family meeting and suggestions for now please, can we all get Monaco to score at least just one more goal from PSG, I really can't have PSG conceding just a goal, from onset it was either none or more than one, I can't let just let Cryptofrka back into this fixture, please!

Let's goooooo Monacoooooooo.  Grin

Wohoo!!! Another point for me and strangely, another missed answer by jeremypwr. I'm pretty surprised that you don't have any correct answers so far. But I'm not complaining about 3-0 lead Grin

Yeah, right It was from my thoughts to Folarin Balogun's ears for that second Monaco's goal, I'm not very happy with not winning a point there but I'm more happy that my opponent doesn't get any point from that game either, and that brings me closer to get 3 points for this week!
I was counting on the point here since my opponent had 0 and I had 1. Was sure Monaco is scoring but did not anticipate such high scoring game. 3:1 would have been my prediction if I was making it somewhere. But goals started coming very early and never really stopped. Perfect showcase of how these two teams play.

Things aren't going on well for me in the BSFL.  Sad  I already have a penalty point but I can't say I'm good at getting good results either. But I will at least try to fight for playoffs to hope for a promotion by finishing in top 8. By the way I see that Hhampuz is also in the pool and I have just applied for one of his campaigns.  Cheesy

I just checked the table and if my calculations are right, I will end up with a draw at worst against jeremypwr. We have 5 more answers and two of those are the same. So two H2H and one regular question on which he has to score a point against me to get a draw. Otherwise it will be another win for me. It feels pretty cool Smiley

I never predicted PSG to concede 2 goals home today. I couldn't watch the match however a score like 5-2 is really attention getting. Thankfully my opponent this week who is darxioami thought the same as me and predicted Monaco to score only 1 goal. The tie between us is still maintained. I hope that I can be the one to get 3 points this week.

Oh crap!! Monaco just scored two goals against PSG and I am now down 3:2 against Strongkored!
This round is proving to be hardest test for me in this season, but next five questions both of us answered differently, and that means a lot of things can change.
I hope only Haaland will score, and Napoli with Leipzig are going to win Smiley

blah, blah=0
fM=3

Yeah you got your first ever 3 points and ghost the next round to give my league rival a free 3 points. Very professional team
  Grin
damn it!! Typical that Psg had to concede 2 goals today😂 Now I'm down against my opponent And we only have 2 different answers left..

Chelsea have only used all substitutes once (in the PL) this season, so hopefully it will continue like that tomorrow against Newcastle..

That was the simplest prediction for me. Manaco has one of the finest attacks in the league, while PSG's defence is terrible.

Fofana and Colwill have returned to training, and Mudryk, Broja, and Ugochukwu are also available for second-half substitutions. Silva, James, Enzo, Jackson, and Sterling will not play the whole 90 minutes.

I'm leading by 4-1 and yet game is still on... Lol

First of all for all who dont know already or dont play in superbru pools im darxiaomi.

Well i was thinking about the issue of having a lot of people who dont provide the answer and go out of the competition in div 3 and we dont have so many people coming from the forum when we know we have some more who can come and play, because we see them in other pools, obviusly this competition is a little bit more demanding in time. But i really think this can grow very well and ended up the main competition of the whole forum.

Well my idea is to give a share of the prize like 10% of the bag to the player who has the most quantity of correct answer in the season, no matter what division he is. This can be a very good prize to stay in the league and to fight for, i know we already have the cup where everybody plays against each other, but this is a little bit diferent and can retain more the people in the long run.

Another thing we can do for newcomers after a few seasons is put a fee to enter in div 3 but in warranty not like a fee. More like a collateral, so now is gonna be "free" to play, if you fail the 3 times and go out of the tournamet the collateral is excuted and goes into the pot. The warranty is gonna be low clearly like 1 or 2 mbtc or depends on the BTC price at the moment, so at the end of the season the player who wants to leave the competition can reclaim his colateral. I repeat this in only for div 3 player and more likely to newcomers of div 3 to avoid the issue we are having.

Well guys i hope i wrote it clearly and it helped you or bring at least some idea, my english its not quite good so sorry for that.

But @Trofo and @cryptofrka, aren't the rules good when you knock somebody out after the person failed to submit results three times? Unless someone comes out and announces that there is some serious issue/illness, it should just be disqualification and period.

As I have failed to submit on time once, I know that there can be circumstances involving health issues from either yourself or someone close to you, but getting three passes on failed submissions is certainly enough. The problem is that you have all the work to do to update things when after 10 rounds someone failed to submit for the third time, which I think an upfront paid fee could be good for.

I don't know what others think, but if we include a rule that says something like: if somebody fails to pay the fine for not submitting three times, negative trust on the account could be given for not living up to agreed upon terms. Once the payment is done, negative trust could be removed.

I fully understand the need for remedy here and developing the questions is enough work to do. Starting to update the tables every two weeks is annoying. I guess no suggestion to solve this will be perfect, but it might make people think before they submit their BSFL application.

Let's say it like this - the rules are good, but it isn't good for the competition. We need to find a middle ground - keep the competition fair and competitive, while offering something to the casuals as well.
The problem with H2H competitions is that casuals can't be the majority, because it ruins the concept.

I don't see us ever redtagging somebody in BSFL - after all, we're here to make virtual friends and have fun. We also want to keep the door open for new players, not scare them away with fees and penalties.

We need to do a bit of both - keep you guys happy and engaged while maintaining high numbers for SB - and we already have some decent ideas we'll be implementing.

...

Most of what we're discussing will be implemented from next season - we are not introducing rules when we feel like it.
However - BSFL costs a lot of money to run. We need to be fair to the sponsors, and if we see issues early on (like Division 3B), we need to try and find ways to counter it.

Trofo and myself spoke thoroughly this week on how to remedy the current situation, eventually we decided not to have huge changes mid-season because it would be against the rules. Personally, I was exploring a single, 16-team Division 3 from this season already - but it was impossible to achieve it.

One thing is clear though - if we don't find a way to fix it, people will start losing interest and SB will not be that interested in running BSFL anymore.

It's easy to stand on the sidelines yelling 'not fair', but we as organizers have to have a broader overview if we want BSFL to grow and improve.

________________________________

As Trofo said - we implemented a failsafe this season. You submit, open the spreadsheet, if your name is there, you're good. If it isn't, something with the forms did not work for you.
If you have multiple Gmail accounts, the form sometimes asks you to confirm the account after you click 'submit'. Maybe that's what's causing you issues.

But @Trofo and @cryptofrka, aren't the rules good when you knock somebody out after the person failed to submit results three times? Unless someone comes out and announces that there is some serious issue/illness, it should just be disqualification and period.

As I have failed to submit on time once, I know that there can be circumstances involving health issues from either yourself or someone close to you, but getting three passes on failed submissions is certainly enough.

I don't know know if you and/or Trofo saw my post about the possible option going forward to make it more competitive, I said we might be better of with just two Divisions, but with higher number of participant, I mean if we can have 40-50 or participant on SuperBRU, I think the division with 20-25 users and Division with 30 more users will be better and more competitive and someone failing to submit for a week will not have as much significance as it current have with less number of users per division, the only con is that the season might have to go longer than the current plan, but if that will promote engagement and not give anyone the opinion of being way below in the 3rd division and looking at how long it will take to make it to the elite group might be a sort of discouragement, that's just my opinion, I could possibly be very wrong about it.

Initially we thought we'd grow to 20 teams per season and that we'll have 2-round competition, meaning 38 rounds per season - like most football leagues.
By gauging interest, we now feel that 1-round is the sweet spot, and that 16 per league is great as well.

We like that it's more dynamic this way, if you start a 30-team season with 5 losses it's kinda hard to keep interest for the next 20 games, in a short season it goes away quickly and you still have relegation to avoid.

We also need to have some sort of Division 3 - we need to keep growing and we need a league that's not so serious where we can put new members.
