I guess my answer looked similar to the ones above me that went for Rune since we all answered in the same order.

@Trofo @cryptofrka My answer for #5 needs to be corrected to a draw please check, I got the same answer as my opponent, but mine was marked red.

@Ige @slackovic I had to look it up too, no big deal. Top answer showed me it's field goal... which does seem weird considering there are no goals, eh?
Old English word for "boundary". The aim of football was to get the ball past a boundary. Goal posts and goal line then defined that boundary, apparently.
This are two different sports with different rules, and Muay Thai is more similar to MMA, they accept knees and elbows, not just kicks like in kickboxing.
Sorry, that's muay Thai (which we just use interchangeably to refer to kickboxing, or our version of. In Malaysia it's "tomok" which isn't muay Thai rules, and the other way round).
I somehow managed to salvage a draw so far with jayce -- really surprised with his tennis picks that sort of gave me a free point, not unlike the way Sabalenka just gave Muchova a free pass into the final!
Yeah he can thank Bowen and Jovic individually. It's like City losing the opening game, but you know they do that and still win in the end (I remember, we got pipped on the last day).
Regarding why they use that term, my theory is this, as long time ago I asked myself the same thing (someone will surely correct me if I am wrong): for example, the word "goal" in football comes from a very definition of that word, and since goal of basketball game is to put the ball into the basket I guess that's why they use it.

I actually only watched kickboxing in Thailand in Malaysia, these aren't televised beyond local TV, and it has been 20 years almost since.
Was that kickboxing or Muay Thai?This are two different sports with different rules, and Muay Thai is more similar to MMA, they accept knees and elbows, not just kicks like in kickboxing.

Wow CLS63 you are on Fire in the first round. Very well done!
I need a small miracle to manage a draw.. But the most important thing now is not to lose by so many points because we know how important it can be with the goal difference from last season😂

Oh, wait, but in basketball there are no goals. Did I misunderstoodsomething? Is it what I thought it stands for?
No, you didn't misunderstand anything, it does indeed mean field goal percentage, even though there are no "goals" in basketball. Regarding why they use that term, my theory is this, as long time ago I asked myself the same thing (someone will surely correct me if I am wrong): for example, the word "goal" in football comes from a very definition of that word, and since goal of basketball game is to put the ball into the basket I guess that's why they use it.

No surprise here, I struggled with several of the terminologies. For example, I had no idea what the FG% stood for, despite doing some research but not finding a proper explanation, therefore my responses on that question were all Inshallah. Since last season, I've been struggling with tennis and Dota questions. Nowadays, I'm starting to care about these boring sports.

Oh man... Why didn't you ask for the explanation? I too wasn't sure what it was, but then I checked out some NBA statistics and I realized that it means the percentage of field goals. Oh, wait, but in basketball there are no goals. Did I misunderstoodsomething? Is it what I thought it stands for?
Nice for you. I answered my question pretty fast I'm used to missing out on first round question so I entered it earlier this time . So did he contributed to most of the field goals? I noticed majority went with Over. You are already leading but it's not over yet.
@trofo it's all good with me.

It's Đoković - but is commonly written as Djokovic because most of the nations don't use these letters and don't even have them on their keyboards.
He's from a country bordering mine - we all use these letters so the above is 100% true.
I just found out about that now. I think we should all stick to his official tournament name - Novak Djokovic. I know Crotia and Serbia share many things in common, including beautiful women. He's from a country bordering mine - we all use these letters so the above is 100% true.
What we care about is that you guys write it good enough that we know what player that is without any doubt. We had some really bad attempts on Alcaraz name in this round and this time we accepted them since there is nobody else with even similar name. But if you butchered Rune/Ruud names in such a way we would have to reject it.

I see that there are a lot of people waiting for Inter to score at least one goal or people who expect Manchester City to win by one-goal difference. I didn't think in that way and thought that Manchester City would win by at least a two-goal difference without even conceding. I made a prediction like this because I think that it is very probable for us to see the usual Manchester City in this finale also.
I'm aware that this is a final game and they might be expected to play more slowly. But I can't think of them showing a boring performance while they have a huge chance to win the Champions League title for the first time. They should be dominating as usual and it will be up to Inter to defend them well to hinder a disaster.

Yeah, Jokic is a great player but I didn't believe that he would be that good to to have everything over in the answer. But luckily for me Igebotz went with 3 "under" and I answered only 2 "under" so I guess I'm good. Also I guessed the RG semi finalists and that's one more point for me.

The correct spelling is Djokovic not Dokovic- you also made the mistake on the spreadsheet, its quite a difficult name so its common for people to misspell it.
Heheh, nope

I got a 1mbtc freebet in my account I assume this was the final BSFL reward? Thank you jeremypwr and Sportsbet again. It was all I could get for relegation lol.
This one I totally did not expect, but I should mention I had no idea how to grade that, I just imagined in my mind that maybe those numbers were too high for one player, but Jokic kept his form and you went very good, all those who picked overs must be so happy with this guy
Good job to you on tennis so now you lead 3-2, I knew I should have just gone for Ruud but I thought there might be a very good chance he makes it difficult and goes on top, turns out all favorites seeds went through.
Basketball question has been rated as well - recheck it to be 100% sure it's OK. Fantastic performance from Jokić - I just saw the highlights.
I went with under on both assists and the FG%, and I really wasn't far off. slaman29 went wih all unders, so even 2 overs will get me the point.

EDIT: I just checked again. I guess you mean that the points were awarded for those questions in the columns after the last question. How come cls63 has only two point for Q3 and he answered over/over/over/over? Shouldn't that be 4 points? I noticed it because his answer is right below mine.
Thank you very much mate for checking it for me.
Because we don't want him to succeed. We received some serious bribe money from Slissy.
It looks like Slissy has enough money to rig because of being the champions in the previous season.
Still as of now I managed to get one step ahead of Slissy however the Champions League finale can still change the situation. Thanks for the Jokic question. If it weren't for you, Cro2 team it wouldn't have come to my mind to bet on Jokic.

Big thanks to joker_josue for updated table. This still needs a bit of check I did not have enough time to properly check it so if there is some dicrepancies those screenshots in posts 2 & 3 are the correct ones.
I hope it continues to be useful for the competition. (And easy to use.)
If you need any adjustments later, let me know.
Any suggestions say.
June 08, 2023, 03:06:58 AM
@cryptofrka lazy? me? Now let's see how long will you need to update the table
Challenge accepted!
All done, please note that some members whose opponents are yet to submit are still hidden from the spreadsheet. We'll decide what to do with that after today's BSFL chat on Sportsbet.
I won't be there (I have some construction works to do) but Trofo's got it covered.
Yeah, I didn't notice the columns after the last question. Could you just check the cls63's points for the third question? I edited the post but I guess you didn't see it.
I did, thanks!

What do you mean by saying that basketball question has been rated? I just checked the spreadsheet but I don't see any green or red background in the answers for the third question. You have been assigned points in column F (same for question 5). Based on these points I'll mark it with color a bit later. I'm still waiting for my sleepy partner to post the schedules in normal text so I can C/P them to the spreadsheet because I'm too lazy to write it all from the images that we now have as placeholders there. _______________________ Today Trofo's having his BSFL chat on Sportsbet, he'll tell you more about it. Basically, considering that we have 4 people that did not submit their answers we might make some reworks in the 3rd Division - but we'll know more about that tomorrow.

At least lucky me that my opponent @Rikafip made the exact same prediction as me. Both of us started 0/2 on questions and it isn't exactly the exciting competition I expected to see. Yep, both of us having a slow start. I was quite bad during previous season so it looks like I just continued in the same fashion in the new one.  This time I expect a worse performance than Jokic compared to most of the expectations. But I'm aware that it is really risky while he is this much consistent and scoring so many points in the meantime. Well, even though you expected him to peform bad, looks like we both ended up having one correct answer. What's even worse, i expected him to have a generally good night, but for whatever reason I didn't see that last part about field goal percentage so I didn't evenm answer that part (and that's where you gave a correct answer).
