I read through most of these, here are some overviews:
edit: IMO, more than two options are great for each answer, when there are two (Yes/No), there is also a lot of draws/same answers
correct me if wrong @buwaytress but I think you had few rounds with almost all answers same and competition finished on mid-week (winner known due to one/two different answers already resolved)?
We plan to always have some 'easy' questions - the goal is to aim for 4-6 correct answers per player. The Yes/No questions are here to stay but there are usually 1 or 2 such questions per round.
Regarding the second point - that's something we don't want to see but is more random than initially thought - we did the analysis on that.
We had over 200 H2H duels (including the cup) - and it really does not happen that often. Also - there are rarely questions where players pick 70%+ of the same outcomes - which is something we are trying to avoid and are happy to see that it does not happen often.
mv1986 made the analysis for draws - we are thrilled with the percentage because it's really close to the 'real' football draw percentage - and that's exactly what we were trying to achieve.
Maybe it is possible to use Superbru or some other website to make all questions and answers instead of google forms.
Not possible - we can't manage H2H questions or penalty questions and can't do the cup there. Also we couldn't calculate the weekly freebets correctly.
Google forms are easy to use and Excel helps us tremendously when analyzing.
It also lets you see easily what your opponent picked - which would take a lot more time on a page like Superbru.
One more suggestion is to create bonus points for people who send answers earlier, that would be positive incentive instead of punishing people who post questions late.
Some people are waiting last moments to submit questions because they are waiting to see injured players and news, that is why people who send answers first should be rewarded.
It would lead to too much guessing (especially in tennis) - which we fully want to avoid.
Use all the data that you can until the deadline, if you're late you will get a small penalty and that's it.
There are a lot of players in Division 3 and it wont be easy to keep up with first two division, maybe you should have early play off matches that would cut off some players earlier.
I am also proposing to always add one bonus question in each round, in case any other game is canceled that would count instead and it can be used to decide winners when two players have same points.
One more thing, summer is coming and there will be less sports events but we can replace that with prediction for Bitcoin blocks or Bitcoin price.
If we run 2 Divisions 3, then no worries. If we run one, we'll have double rounds during some weeks. We want to have a big playerbase, so most who want to play will be able to.
Bonus questions won't be introduced unless we see that we're having a lot of cancelled games, it happened only once I think in Season 1.
Only sports questions will ever be in BSFL - so no Eurosong, Oscars, presidential elections or BTC prices
Yeah, I knew even as I was typing that it seems "nice" on paper, harder to simplify for implementation. I'm 100% on board with simplicity, that's the strength of BSFL I feel, but even following some of the rounds (which I do even when am not playing for points, it's that interesting haha), I feel like there really should be a small but clear advantage to people who pick outside of the box.
Tennis does seem to be the most, but also from memory (maybe I'm wrong), lineup picks and NBA points. Of course, as there is no reward for outlier picks, most of us go with stats and pick the top scorers, right? Some really good mid-scorers looked attractive as an outsider pick, but when playing for the same points, then you don't think too hard and go for the ones with best averages, who are often way above the middle-scorers.
Tennis questions will surely be revised - we know how you bet. When you're not familiar with something, you just look at the odds and pick the favorites.
We implemented some great questions in theory (NBA scorers, 5 football goalscorers..) but were quite unlucky with the games - they had bizarre outcomes so the questions ended mostly with draws as well.
We plan to game a bit more with such questions, but will try to make them a bit more bulletproof to weird outcomes. We do need to have some H2H questions (we like these) and it's hard to write these because most of you are taking the 'easy' way out. We'll find a way though
