Isn't question no. 8 "Pogačar wins with 1 minute and 30 sec advantage or more" also over already for those who went with Pogačar? I am trying to catch up with all the sports but that is even harder when it is sport that I have no idea about whatsoever.

Nope, Pogačar is still in the race but is more than 7 minutes behind.
It looks like Vingegaard with more than 1:30 is all but certain, but there are 3 more stages to go and some things can still change.

It was funny, the other day I was watching TV and there was cycling on the news. I usually don't even follow it or know the names, but I saw the title say 'Vingegaard increases his advantage'.
Due to the BSFL I actually watched the cycling report Grin
I see some of you doing the same and exploring all kinds of sports and games because of it and I'm really happy to see that - that's exactly what we hoped to achieve here.


Interestingly, I like cycling a lot and I own a racing bike, but I never followed the Tour de France or any other event. I don't know, I somehow can't relate to the sport even though I would like to participate in an amateur race one day myself. It is not that I disrespect the performances (despite mass doping), but I find it too boring to watch it on TV. It is very different from following tennis and I would say also very different from watching formula 1. One thing that I still find really dumb are these crashes when visitors can run onto the track or drivers crash into motorcycles filming the race and what not. I get that every sport comes with a certain risk, but this kind of risk should be avoided. The injuries are sometimes horrifying.

big match today between D. Zagreb- Hajduk Split. They met only 6 days ago in the super cup final and then D.Zagreb won 1-0 and the total booking was 4 yellow cards and 1 red but 2 of the cards were not on the field.

Do the cards only count on the field for this match or does its count to the bench to?

If not stated differently in the question itself, all the cards count. I'm quoting a rule from the OP:

...
Sports Grading Rules – Following will be taken in consideration unless otherwise stated in the question itself
* Football question are regular time, no extra time or penalties.
* Cards in football are counted both on pitch and off pitch. Yellow card is one point, red card is 2 points. Second yellow is one point. Meaning any player can accumulate maximum of 2 points.
* Player props, like goals scored or assists are for the purposes of our competition are counted as valid even if player did not play a single second of the game.
* Forfeits in sports like Tennis or loses due to technical problems in eSports are counted as regular ML wins.
...

The question asks for number of cards shown, so each card counts as 1 - be it yellow, red or second yellow.

I'm expecting about same score but more cards in the leauge game, this Cup final should be warm the air a bit more imo.

And bench cards does count for bsfl competition if I'm not mistaken.

Summertime mean less work at hand right ?
It means more vacations, more holidays, more time away from computers-phones, and less internet connection  Wink

Bold part is the real problem. How would you feel if me and you are fighting for title in Div 1. My opponent does not submit, I have to give him penalty answers like to anybody else and as a consequence I win Div 1? You would feel like shit and you wouldn't even remember that you got this 3 points for free earlier in the season. Nature of our competition is such that any late entry makes whole league less fair.
And it is ok for DOTA expert to ask everyone a DOTA question? You are starting with big advantage.  Grin
I never heard anyone complaining who won something because other team or player got punished and eliminated for drug abuse, or for missing the weight or any other rules break.
There is no way I would feel like shit because of that, and its not like this is championship h2h fight for winning 1 million dollars.

@Trofo @cryptofrka I couldn't agree more with your assessment. One penalty is almost a gift to the opponent, and it almost makes it a penalty for everyone else in the league (it's free points).

I definitely didn't enjoy my victory in a round where my opponent had a penalty (the actual outcome was a draw so I got 2 free points). If I win (haha) by a point or two, it would not feel good for me, or those in 2nd/3rd place.

But there's no good way to do it, and this method we have, I have no issue with. Best we got, really.

BTW cool video shared with the Mbappe deepfakes -- I always said women's football at top level has good technical skill -- but off-the ball skills, formation, defence, and goalkeeping are far off the mark. Still some ways to go in terms of development.

I agree. I guess that eventually all those late submitters will drop to lower leagues due to missing points. If you guys want to be more strict, maybe you can increase the number of points deducted for those that are frequently late with submitting their answers. I agree that submitting late gives their opponents unfair advantage over the rest of us.

what happened to Heroic and Liquid, can't help myself to even follow, not mention watch, this e"sport"

Rory didn't start well on Golf Open, but there is still chance for him, comparing to John Ram, he blowed big-time first day

no BTTS so far on Women WC, is that usual on women football, or that should be chased statistic wise?

What do you mean by "what happened to Heroic and Liquid"? Heroic won the Group B final so they are the winner of the group B and Liquid have lost the Group C final game. So the correct answer on the 7th question is NIP, Heroic, FaZe. I just hope that I didn't mess something up but those are the winners of the Grand Final games for each of the groups.

We both gave the same answer so it's all the same for us Smiley

By far the worst thing is that I'm a goal down against Trofo for the freebet. My pride won't be able to take it if I lose against him.
Considering that he's writing the articles, it will be all over the news as well.

Lol you just have to take it like a man.

It's a tough fight in our division and I'm lucky my opponent Woodie has same answers as me where I lost. I see someone with 4/4 already.

About penalties, I have not experienced that yet but I can personally say that I won't hold it against anyone who wins because of penalty. It happens, everything will be equal over the long term so you guys have no complain from me about this system Smiley

I made that as a point but even if it wasn't me you would feel bad. Same like anybody that finishes a point or two behind you can feel now.

There is no good solution to this and we feel like the current one is the least bad one.

Agreed on this ofc. We'll brainstorm a bit, but our hands are kinda tied here.
What we can say is that the longer the competition exists, the more stricter we're gonna be with the rules.

The whole idea was to have 2 really competitive leagues, and then the lower leagues can have some players that occasionally forget to submit. But we really want to avoid that in Div 1 and Div 2.

This is too much guys, I am arguing that we need to stop giving you reminders and simply make all the players that are late drop down to lower leagues.
It is summertime bro, have some understanding for guys who forgot to post answers on time.
Instead of downgrading to lower leagues just have more negative points, and if one player collect many negative points than consider relegation.
Good thing for me that I am already having a good advantage in this round thanks to someone with late submission  Cheesy
You pasted just part of the post and I even said in the next one once again: "We are not dropping people in lower leagues", they are getting negative points and loosing H2H matches which should make them drop the leagues..

Summertime mean less work at hand right ? and Over 48 hours of grace window is a whole lot, I think it's inexcusable especially this something that gets spoken about in here every week, but my conclusion is that competition have different level of relevance to each and everyone, so if someone can miss the window twice or 3 times consecutive, dropping such participant to the lower wouldn't be a bad idea, I'm sure there are some participants in other levels that wouldn't mind to pay twice as much to play in the first division.



I'm currently tuned into the FIFA Womens World Cup between Nigeria and Canada.., We're playing as the underdog here, but with how the opening matches went yesterday, I'm more than optimistic for the Nigerian Super Falcons here! Let's go ladies!

Hey guys! A bit quiet from me for the next few days am somewhat incapacitated -- nevertheless BSFL season2 spreadsheet is always pen on my phone, gives me something to look forward to every day!

TdF is paying off so far for those backing Vine, quite lucky to get 2/2 so far -- women's football didn't harm me as Ige is same as me (sorry Ige about your sidebet offer, you know I would take it but I saw it too late!).

Even men's volleyball is already 2/4 through, we're all doing quite well so far.

Not related but I saw Benteke in the MLS all-star friendly vs Arsenal. Blast from the past!

I'm glad you missed on the side bet deal  Grin; you're already looking great and leading me; all I need now is Denmark and the golf question to have a chance of a point. Lucky bastard.

70 years old Benteke in MLS best IX? Oh now I understand why Kai Havertz scored a volley against them

Damn, I'm getting hammered this round Grin

I should have bet on the volleyball thing, I'm gonna do that in the future.
The odds on all 4 winning were actually quite big, and 3 of them won in straight sets.

Well, let's see what he will be making out of my genius move in the CS:GO question Grin I guess he thought I must be tricking him lol...

It's not looking good for me right now, karrigan became totally unstoppable, and helped FaZe eliminated Liquid quite easily, a team beat the just 3 days ago, but it's a totally new affair today, Team Liquid couldn't really get it going even in the second map which was their own pick. If I add that to Tour de France most probable result, I'm in 2 points disadvantage already, is there any way to really beat this guy, huh jeremypwr ?
