Confirming that I have received the rewards for the second season which has ended smoothly.
Thank you very much to all parties involved in this event, Sportsbet for its sponsors, and also Trofo & cryptofrka who always provide good questions every week which of course is not an easy thing.
Waiting for the third season to run, with changes in the rules, hopefully, this will make this competition even more interesting in the new season.

Lol yeah I was greedy but I havent messed my ticket up. All I need would be Wolfsburg W to win tonight. Well to bad that they dont allow to cash out on free bets betting, otherwise I would be cashing this out as I got my own hunch that Wolfsburg W is going to mess this one up


LOL this is actually a pretty good business idea 


Giroud > Onana so far . thats a fact and it was a pretty good save from him

Thanks for the free bets.

Almost forgot that Sportsbet is offering british horse racing too.
So had a "good punt" with the free bets on the horses yesterday and thankfully former champion jockey Oisin Murphy and Phone Tag won their race.

Can't wait for Season 3!

and Euroleague too, it already started, and becomes really interesting with all new additions from NBA, hope to see some questions from time to time


in Premier league no, but League One or Two are probably having some system for that
kidding, agree that reminders are not necessary if you have same deadline for 2 seasons, it is over 30 rounds with cup, one should make a habit

and now I will probably miss first round deadline

It is not a case of we don't want to do it, it is a case of we want dedicated managers to do well and have bigger advantage.

Most of you are now playing 2 whole seasons, deadline has been the same for every single round. Really shouldn't be a problem to visit a thread on Sunday evening or Monday, see who you are playing against, skim questions and decide when to answer.

Do you think Premier League clubs get notifications to make sure they will not forget to appear on game?  

Very well done once more to all sponsors and organizers! May I also say that the prizes are really very big, and there's no other place that gives that big freebets nobody even comes close.

I think the other "benefit" nobody realized is we are now experts at getting non football sports right lol

Good rest to everyone, so excited to be in best league again, I hope I don't yoyo!!

Thank you very much to the Cro2 team for the reward of the second division, already waiting for the start of a new season that will be more exciting

It may have been much more if I had used all of my freebets, but I'm delighted with what I got because this is the first time I've used my freebets sensibly. Already in contact with Jackson and Palmer in order to bolster the team's attack. I'm also considering Saliba because I heard he hasn't dribbled this season and his pass distribution is better than Onana's. Giroud s also on the list since he is the only GK with perfect save accuracy.

If the active $500 becomes available, I may as well acquire Trofo and two teams from the third tier and co-own them.

Most definitely, and there would be some International matches too, I would rather not have international matches prediction honestly, and I really hope we'd get to see quite a number of NBA questions quite often too, because the NBA regular season is just around the corner and the pre-season has already started which has been very exciting to watch judging by the games I've seen so far.

The strict rule changes for next season will be interesting, and I wonder how many will break it this time now that it's an instant loss. There's also the looming threat of disqualification if you miss out on one too many rounds.

With season 3 starting next week, I guess it's expected to see a few esports questions appear in the early rounds since two of the biggest tournaments will start around the same week until the end of October.  

Now you owe me a couple beers mate!

It's like you got a decent salary budget to work during your division 2 stay, I hope you don't spend them on Maguire, Onana, and Dembele 

I somehow missed this statement from Trofo, I hope you can take back that statement now, Division 2 would be a walk in the park for any of the top 3 Division 1 users, and to know how competitive the Division 1 is. take a look at the number of losses by each team, and take another look at the average SA for each players too. Division 1 is the league of legends, whether or not you like it



Yes, I can help with the reminder twice weekly Monday evening and Tuesdays too, but you'll need to pay a subscription fee of $5 fortnightly, or I could do $25 for the entire season per user, I hope I can get at least 10-20 user needing the subscription to my new available service.

Business Name: Harkorede BSFL notification company  

You were greedy and messed up your ticket, I staked three times and made a cool $140+ for the team transfer. Tickets worth $500 are still open for tomorrow and the weekend.



You got greedy too - I will give you another 3 odds for tomorrow.

Trofo-  the banner must be big to take you this amount of time. Still waiting  

I confirm that I received my reward for last season, with extra tax paid to Mafia for special protection in next season 3.
With mafia blessings I should be guaranteed spot in Division 1 in Season 4, unless I suffer injury or broken leg on boating accident.


Can someone else send this Tuesday reminders instead of you?
Guys we may need to hire some cheap slave labor to send us this important reminders.

I followed his parlay as well and it seems there are 1 ongoing match which is still around 25 minutes to go. AVS need to win their game for the parlay to win and I also added my own bet onto this because the odds was quite low so I tried to be smart 

I will need Wolfsburg Women to win tomorrow or else Im going to lose mine as well

---

@igebotz : well it seems you are pretty lucky, so whats next should we bet on? We both got decent number of freebets to use so Im expecting some parlay tips from you. Lets lose together LOL 

sad my parlay lose because of the 1 match i add while yours win

No problem. I think that all of us know that those are mistakes. I don't know how and why but those kind of errors always poke me in the eyes so I have to warn you. Just take a rest and fix them tomorrow. I'm just happy to see an announcement of Season 4. That's great news!!

Hahah, no - we won't pay out 1000's of BTC, sorry
Cheers for seeing the mistakes - both will be rectified tomorrow. I'm too tired to do anything now - would probably just make it worse.

You surely mean that the next season will start on 16.10. and not 16.8. I didn't read the whole pist but this caught my eyes:)

Also, in the rewards table you have mBTC in the header and values in cells are in $. I would love if the Division 1 winner would get 1000 mBTC but it's highly unlikely

Welcome to the 3rd Season of the BSFL!

We’re thrilled to inform you that BSFL’s season 3 will start on October 15th (when you will receive questions for the week ahead).
General rules won't change much and you're all aware of them by now. You can read them here for a quick reminder.
Almost all the members have played at least 1 season so they know what to expect.

There is 1 significant rule change, though. Late submissions will mean automatic loss – so please don’t submit in the last seconds.
We also won’t be sending reminders for submission on Tuesdays.

There's also a slight change in how we'll calculate the freebet round winners.
First criteria will be total points, and only the best answer in the league will be able to claim the H2H point.
Second criteria will be all the H2H duels in that round between the tied players. If the player already claimed a point for the best answer in the league in a H2H question, that one will not be counted.
Third criteria in case there is still a tie after the H2H questions will be the time of submission - earlier submission will win the freebet.

Season 3

It will start on 16.10. and probably last until early March (20 weeks or so).
We have 16 teams per Divisions 1 and 2 (15 rounds, 1-legged competition + the Cup and playoffs) and an undefined number of players in Division 3 so far (probably 24 or more).
Don't take the end date for granted – it might be a week or 2 earlier or later – depending on how we do the Cup and playoffs.

Regarding Division 3 - We have 1 player that withdrew and 1 player that won’t be near his computer for a few months due to personal reasons so had to withdraw as well.
Unfortunately, that is our Division 3B playoff winner Ozymandias_DZ – who deserved his promotion to Division 2. The spot will be taken by his playoffs opponent vivekdhyani1.
Considering that his reason for absence was valid and unavoidable, if at some point Div2 will be expanded again, we’ll probably give him some sort of an advantage in Division 3 that won’t be harmful for the competition.

We have 2 new players arriving so far (Brahim012 and shogun47) and will probably keep the same format of Division 3 going forward with 12 clubs in Divs A and B – but might decide on something else entirely.
We might even get more people in until the official start of the season.

What we can surely say is that the Divisions 1 and 2 will not be expanding this season – meaning that Season 4 will have 16 teams in Division 1 and 16 teams in Division 2.
This season there won’t be a Division 4, but that does not mean that the following one we won’t have it.
If we do go with Division 4, Division 3 will have 16 players as well and all other players will be relegated to Division 4 (all spots below top 8 if we go with 2 Division 3’s).
It is more likely that we’ll continue having 2 Division 3’s, in that case there won’t be relegation and we’ll keep filling the Div3 spots with new players.

There will be 3 or 4 players relegated from Division 1 to Division 2 (3 direct, 13th from Div 1 will play directly against 4th from Div2 for the last spot in Division 1.
Therefore, 3 or 4 players will be promoted from Division 2 to Division 1 (3 direct, 1 potentially in playoffs (4th team from Div 2 to play 13th team from Div 1).

There will be 3 or 4 players relegated from Division 2 to Division(s) 3. 3 players from Division 2 will be relegated directly and the 13th player from Division 2 will play a H2H game versus Division 3 playoff loser.
That will be defined in paragraph below, so please read it.

4 players will be promoted from Division 3 to Division 2. Division 3A winner and Division 3B winner will be promoted directly, and players placed on positions 2, 3, 4 and 5 from both Division 3’s will enter a cup-style playoff format.
Out of these 8 players, only 1 will secure direct promotion. The loser of the final game of this promotion bracket will have 1 more chance though – he’ll play the 13th team from Division 2 for a spot in Division 2 next season.

Visually, promotion/relegation system will look like this:



Rules and recommendations

1.) Please install Telegram Bitcointalk bot. You will get notified every time we tag participants for important info.
2.) Please submit your answers on time. Failure to submit on time in this season means instant loss.
3.) Please submit all the answers, and submit them with possible outcomes. When you give free points in your H2H questions to your opponent, it isn't fair to all other league members.
4.) To deal with the situations from points 2) and 3), we are forced to introduce some penalties.
Each team that fails to submit answers on time or submits the answers in a way that is not in accordance with competition rules will receive a 1 point deduction – not for that round but from total points won in the league.
We think the penalty is fair to keep the league competitive, and you can always ask in the thread if you don't understand some of the questions.
5.) If you repeatedly fail to submit the questions on time and in correct format, there's a high chance that we will be forced to remove you from the competition.
The competition is becoming more serious and with the plans Sportsbet has for it going forward, we all need to do our part to make it fair and exciting. You were doing that most of the time in Seasons 1 and 2 so we aren't worried, and we thank you for it.

Rewards

Sportsbet was kind to increase rewards again. We feel we’re in a good place now both with the rewards amount and with the number of players in top 2 Divisions, so in the next few seasons we’ll probably make only some small corrections when/if needed.
Total budget for the Season 3 will be in excess of 7.500$. Sportsbet will provide 6.750$ in BTC and we have already collected 40mBTC from Div 1 participants.
We will once again have a big freebets budget to add to that – 900$ total for final placement and 1.250$ for weekly rewards. In total, that is close to 10.000$ in total prize pool.

Rewards distribution looks like this: (will be rounded to BTC rewards at the time of receiving the funds)



Good luck to everybody participating and let's have more fun!

Disclaimer - OP will be slightly changed in the coming days to reflect all these changes.
