Prizes looks good, and currently we have 52 BSFL players huh so probably average of 60 if there are some future registered BSFL player so basically 1/3 of the field is going to get something out of this side competition huh. I thought we are getting some sort of freebies like jersey for the top 3 instead of freebets but I guess this will do  Wink
We are not giving away Newcastle kits for this promo because Sportsbet still did not receive them and there isn't a firm date about that as far as we know. But I am sure there will be some promos with Newcastle kits once they become available.



Your side bet challenge accepted!
Great, we will iron out the details when the time comes. Only fair you see the questions before we agree on amount and stuff like that since I am writing them Smiley Maybe I can also use it as excuse to make cryptofrka write them that week  Cool

but they eventually will qualify, they are good enough to leave Dortmund behind for sure, not sure who will end-up being out from other two, but Newcastle should pass the group

Dortmund is an odd ball though, they are good but could be a flop in that group however there are still AC Milan and PSG in the group. Im not sure how good PSG is with most of their top stars leaving the club but they are still going to be one hell of a team with Mbappe already being put back in the main lineup so we'll see though

Im hoping that Newcastle will atleast qualify the group stage for sure

As already mentioned, we'll always try to add even more value throughout every BSFL season.
Last season we had Arsenal - Southampton promo, and this season we're focused on Newcastle's Champions League run!

We will hold a side-competition throughout their CL journey, where all of us will compete together for some cool prizes!

The rules:
The competition will last for as long Newcastle is in the Champions League.
Initially the plan is to have 7 rounds - 1 round before the group stages and 1 round for every game in the group.
If Newcastle progresses from the group, we'll have 1 round before the knockouts and then 1 round per every following game again.
The questions will be only about Newcastle's CL games, 5 questions per round, the system will not be H2H but most points collected across all rounds.
The player(s) with the most points at the moment Newcastle's European challenge ends will be pronounced as winners.
There will be no Divisions, every player participates equally.
The side-competition is for current and future BSFL players - the ones that apply for the new BSFL season before the first CL game starts.

Prizes:
1. 2mBTC + 100$ freebet
2. 1mBTC + 50$ freebet
3. 0.5mBTC + 40$ freebet
4-10. 30$ freebet
11-15 - 20$ freebet
16-20 - 10$ freebet

Format:
You will submit the answers in the same way as you do for the BSFL.
It will be a separate form, and it will be measured in a separate spreadsheet.
It is easier to handle it like that - because the competition will span across multiple weeks.
The deadline for submission will be 2h before every game and you'll be in charge of checking the deadlines yourselves.

Small print:
Some rules might still be tweaked a bit before the start of the CL promo. If that happens, we'll let you know.

We hope you like the bonus competition, I for one can't wait to see how Newcastle does in the most attractive CL group this season!

Man this thread is popping but how am I Leicester? I'd find that a compliment, club rose from lower tiers to win the title at the top. Unfortunately, or not, I didn't clamber my way anywhere yet. Have always had the privilege of Div1, so in a way you've to respect clubs like Cro2, Woodie, Renato, who fought up from Div3 and still have a chance at consecutive promotion.

I can sense a future article talking about Igebotz manager's press conference rant a la Mourinho/Benitez showing proof of how unfairly they're being treated and a player from the club showing off a "Why always me?" shirt Wink

Back to business, Tiafoe out. And only hakan chose Shelton. That deserves recognition!

I'm not reading - the only time I appeared in any of your articles was when I was torn down by a div 3 team in a cup quarter final match; you said nothing about my club prior to cup elimination. I can't wait for you to get promoted to Division 1. You need to learn a lesson.
Fair enough but not really my fault. I run the polls with target Clubtalk audience and your club just doesn't have that galacticos feel like buwaytress, cls or jeremypwr. In other words nobody else likes to read about you  Grin

I fixed the sentence for you Grin - True, I abandoned Clubtalk last year, and my main business on SB is to place bets and close the app. If your article does not promote and brief each participating club, I will need to write/create my own blog to target each club's results and activities. It's a win-win situation for everyone.

Buwatress is Leicester city do not trust that club  Cheesy

As per current results and form I think it is more likely you drop to Div 2 then me promoting to Div 1  Grin But we will need to arrange some kind of face off. How about friendly match when we have cup final on schedule. No stakes except small aide bet between us and lifelong bragging rights.

My form isn't great, but I've been there before. I'm the Everton of Div 1; no matter how horrible the results are, I always find a way to stay in the top flight..  Your side bet challenge accepted!

Yeah, it sounds OK. I didn't like the proposal that the freebets duels are settled by an early submission. In division 1 the freebet is a $40 reward which is a nice sum of money. It could potentially lead to people rushing to submit answers. At least those that have a freebet duel. This proposition is much better. H2H duels rarely end up with a draw so there probably won't ever be a need to settle a freebet duel by who submitted earlier.

If there is a duel between a team that submitted early without waiting for deadline results/News and those who waited for deadline results/News to submit answers, the team that won despite those disadvantages deserves to be declared a winner of freebets. Honestly.

For instance, those of us who submitted late yesterday now know the outcomes of the Tennis quarter finals and half of the FIBA World Cup results, unlike the teams who submitted answers before those results. See it as a reward for submitting early.

If this had been adopted this season, I could have already earned two free bets for submitting early.

Regarding the freebets, we (read I) actually made a mistake and calculated it in a way that was not planned in the first few rounds.
Then I just repeated the same method for fairness going forward.
How it should be from next season is that in freebet ties the H2H questions will be taken into consideration.

I was against rewarding early submissions, but considering we have VAR now I feel that it makes way more sense.
If after H2H duels between tied players we still won't have a winner, it makes sense to award the early submission.

We also don't like to see draws for the freebets, it's so much more work for us as well Grin

So - in short:
- first we check your totals (initially you can get a point for the H2H question only if you're the best in the whole Division)
- then we check H2H questions between the tied players (if you already won a point in that H2H question you can't get another one, of course)
- if it's still a tie after all the H2H questions were analyzed, whoever submitted earlier will be the freebet winner

How does this sound?

sound fine, IMO that would be better off

back to sport, Germany beats Latvia, but it could on other side, when Latvia started melting Germany's advantage in final moments, it looked like they will succeed as against France or Spain, but didn't
so Germany plays USA next, and should not be hard to foreseen winner from that one

other SF, we are waiting for opponent

@slackovic : only 4 questions with different answers between you and me so lets get this done  Tongue. If the course of the event is following the order of the question then I guess we can relax for abit because we both have the answers for question 1-5 so best of luck this round mate !

Yeah, I just checked the table and at first I had a feeling we have all our answers the same. I see that you desperately need points to avoid relegation, but unfortunately so do I. I'm currently sitting at the 4th place which looks great, but the difference between 4th and 11th place is only four points so it will be interesting to see how the last three rounds go.

Brilliant article Trofo! Do you write this directly on site or you submit to Sportsbet who enters it?

I didn't even realize you only got 1 point, in my mind somehow it was more like 4-3, but I think you got really unlucky or I got really lucky like with Spanish driver in F1, Arsenal winning, WTA wins, all these were not supposed to happen. At least when I picked, I was hoping for clear Arsenal win, not near the end collapse from United.
I write articles in word and submit them for publication on site.

I started our duel with 1:0 lead and than got everything else wrong. I felt especially hard done on tennis questions. Could have so easy turned to my favor both in men and women draws. But that is luck for you, sometimes falls your way and sometimes against you. Hopefully this week will be better.

@CLS63 you have my support for division 1! But jeremypwr can still win it, if both you and buway drop games. So I support casperBGD also Wink

I have a big feeling this round gives us a first title in division 2/3!!

The way the promotion is set up, the league grows by default; by the start of season 4, we'll have 20 teams in DIV, and by season 5, we'll have 22 teams, which is more than an average league in Europe; if I'm not mistaken, we have four clubs promoted to Div 1 every season. With the way the league is set up, the two-legged game will not work, and we may end up playing 40 games per season. buwatress will burn out  Grin

Nope, at some point we'll draw the line. 16 or 18 players per Division might be the soft spot, although 3 leagues of 20 players were what we were looking to achieve initially.
We have 52 players now, so we're still 8 players short. Hope we get them for the next 2 seasons Smiley

Whatever adjustments you have in mind, anything more than 20 per league will elevate us to championship level and diminish the level of competition. Another adjustment that the Cro2 might consider is the freebets duel - this sucks.

If there is a freebets duel, the first to submit automatically wins; shifting it to the next round is something none of us like. This season, I've lost 2 or 3 freebets duel to the lucky bastard buwatress.
I agree that it needs to change for the next season with freebet. The winner of the free bet should be decided at the same time as the round is finished.

@Harkorede we only have 4 different answers so this round is more about a bit of luck i think😂 When I see my answers now, I'm quite unsure about them😂
I actually quite like the idea to settle free bet duels by early submission. It does get strange sometimes with the way it is set up now. Cryptofrka and me had a free bet duel going for months  Grin

It has the added benefit of early submission which is something we would definitely like to see. We will take the idea into consideration for sure.



By the way guys, new article is up, enjoy:

I agree on the part of freebets duel not being carried to the next round, it should be settled at the end of each round by any means necessary, I would also edge towards it being awarded to the person with the earliest submission in cases where there no other means of separating the ties.


Shelton is giving Tiafoe a run for his money, but I still feel he'd get cocky and overplay his game plan or not execute it properly, which is why I went for Tiafoe, but Shelton is name to be wary of in Tennis for the next few years.

New round officially started and I really had to think good before submitting my answers on those trickyass questions.
My famous line again has a little twist this time, so good luck to everyone in this round except my nemesis, cro2 team, and members above me in table  Grin

This will all be changed from Season 3 onwards, when a late submission will mean an instant loss.
Oh this will be brutal Grin
Every new season you are introducing more punishment, maybe we should start adding new special unique names for each season.
Something like this:

BSFL Season 3 - The Inquisition
BSFL Cup of Rejects
BSFL Season 4 - Zombitcointalk

From a player perspective, I don't think anyone can maintain more than survival every season, really, RNG will kick in long before burnout, heh heh.I'm under no illusion, I have luck on my side, enjoying it as much as possible.
You game me idea for one more Cup name - BSFL Survivor Cup  Wink
