OP has been updated.
Please read it carefully, some minor things in the rules have changed and we removed some insignificant and outdated rules from Season 1.
We're here in case of any questions - all we need to do is to define the budget but we're just waiting for the final confirmation from SB and we'll do that soon.
We did not want to miss CL final and RG finals so we hope you're fine with it not being defined at the time we start.

Ok, now we have 3rd league settled up as well. We have 24 players in this one so we decided to split it two smaller leagues. They will have exactly the same rewards and same chances to qualify or relegate. We have divided players as per our conceived familiarity between them to make it more interesting, mainly bitcointalk and Sportsbet chat divisions. It isn't perfect of course since we had a bit more bitcointalk people and that part was done in random fashion.
Let's gooooooooo!!!!!! Looks good to me.

Regarding Boxing and MMA - there was 1 question. We'd like to put more, but never know what are big events because there are simply too many.
You can help us with this - just let us know when something really important is happening there and we'll try to fit it in the questions.

I think you can draw a conclusion from @jeremypwr threads too, but those just do come some later than the question deadline, but he often post the big MMA or Boxing matches.
About "esports", I think the Oxford definition for sports must change also to fit in esports and chess and whatever other "Games" who want to be classified as sports":
My friends argue you need physical skill and effort to tap a keyboard, and to press the timer for chess, so I guess it counts

activity that you do for pleasure and that needs physical effort or skill, usually done in a special area and according to fixed rules

Yeah you do need a physical skill, for football it's not just about physicality being a player like Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar require a high football IQ which in my opinion psychological, while eSport other than pressing the keyboard require a vast IQ level to be able to compete at the high level of IQ as well.

Fear not my relegation brother, we will rise like a phoenix from the ashes and get promoted to division 1 (well that’s the plan any way.
Looking forward to hopefully doing much better in season 2.
That's the spirit! We will become Norwich and Watford (for their back to EPL seasons not after that lol) and remind everyone we are a force to be considered
GL to us both!!
So good to be back soon to this. I still feel very hurt from last season not being able to win a single game, so I need to make up for it in Season 2 now!

@Strongkored I have Ons Jabeur Quarter 2 outright at almost 4/1, women's didn't have an outright winner market when I checked, might be available after today, I'd definitely double down on her. Not expected to win so soon after recovery but I like the odds.
She will play against Olga Danilović today, looks like she will pass this round but won't go further because this year she hasn't been that impressive in major tournaments.What will be interesting in my opinion for the women's section is the match between two very young tennis players under 20 years old Mirra Andreeva vs Coco Gauff, the odds are not much different so this will be quite balanced in my opinion

The questions are coming tomorrow, the deadline will be Tuesday as usual.
OK, but that is not what happened before, we already had questions in BSFL with esports, games, dota and stuff that has nothing to do with real sport events.
Than I am asking you to please add more combat sports like Boxing and MMA events, this can be from UFC, PFL, Bellator and other MMA organizations.
I need to have some advantage for Division 1 promotion with combat sports I am following

I kinda agree with you, I hate esports. But they are considered as sports, they are even applying to be in the Olympic games. Weird times we live in, yeah.

Only sports questions will ever be in BSFL - so no Eurosong, Oscars, presidential elections or BTC prices OK, but that is not what happened before, we already had questions in BSFL with esports, games, dota and stuff that has nothing to do with real sport events.

I hope you guys two bounce back to division 1 next season ! -snip 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. Yeah this is pretty much the essence of BSFL as well. Some people need to realize that every player need to maximize everything that we can use including time and data from the sports that needs to be analyzed. I mean yeah its pretty much luck dependant at some point but as long as we submit before deadline then everything is okay June 02, 2023, 01:40:05 PM
@famososMuertos @mv1986 I agree Div2 is pretty damned impressive for getting the most points, but on the other hand, it suggests poorer opponents. One might argue that the division with the most points dropped is actually the toughest (most competitive), since matches are always so tight -- in which case Div3 is actually the most competitive league in the maiden season +1On competency (how good players are) Average Goals Scored would be the better indicator, since you need to get a question right, or answer more accurately than the opponent, to score a point. You'll see that Div1 (40.08) and Div2 (40.67) are much closer in that aspect (though Div2 still comes up on top). Div3 is significantly lower in that regard, with only 402 goals (36.55 average) scored. Didn't adjust numbers for late answers or missed rounds... I believe that only happened in Div3? ...//...::: Very well, defending your div 1, surely my opinions will change when I'm there soon, in any case today's reality is that we are very sad about the points that escape us to Div 1.  /  ___________ CRO2: With the expectation that there is for the new season, only for this round the questions cannot come out, today, tomorrow or Sunday...

I’m not familiar on football categories. It’s good thing that BSFL is well balanced sports quiz tournament. Neither am I; which is why I'm still surprised I took 2nd place in Season 1 despite 75% of the questions (83/110) being about football LFG! Like I always say go with your gut.

Thanks for letting me in
Only reason why I didn't apply for Season 1 was because of my Bitcointalk Member Status. Would be fantastic if Royal Ascot can be covered too copper member

I’m very excited on this new season. I already re-installed again my notification bot on telegram just to make sure I won’t miss the submission. I will try my best to keep up and climb ranks despite I’m not familiar on football categories. It’s good thing that BSFL is well balanced sports quiz tournament.

On competency (how good players are) Average Goals Scored would be the better indicator, since you need to get a question right, or answer more accurately than the opponent, to score a point. You'll see that Div1 (40.08) and Div2 (40.67) are much closer in that aspect (though Div2 still comes up on top). Div3 is significantly lower in that regard, with only 402 goals (36.55 average) scored. Didn't adjust numbers for late answers or missed rounds... I believe that only happened in Div3? Nice analysis - with 1 mistake though. Div3 has a 40.2 average - it had 1 round less to play. If you take player averages - Division 3 has 2 players in the top 3. The best would be slackovic with a 4.63 average, followed by Woodie (4.6) and myself (4.5). I think nobody else is above 4.28. it's funny how everybody has missed this fine detail that Division 3 had played a round less than other divisions and gone further to label it the weakest , ouch that hurt  Otherwise all i can say, D3 was definitely super competitive, and no one can take that away. Hope whoever goes into Division 3 from the top league wins it easy to prove their point on its low competency, otherwise goodluck June 02, 2023, 09:00:35 AM

/snip I like the idea of early submissions bonus too, like Superbru Early Bru points in F1. It rewards people who don't wait for qualification results. You can still submit "late" for a different advantage, but lose the bonus. It makes a lot of sense. I don't have anything against rewarding people for early submissions. But those who voids their first couple of questions by submitting the answers after the deadline should be punished somehow. I like the idea of deducting points for those who submit their answers after the deadline. I understand that people mostly don't do it intentionally, but it gives an unfair advantage to the opponent for that week because he/she gets a free point or two. And I don't really see why draws are a problem? As cryptofrka said we aimed to get real football results spread and if anything we have too little draws I agree they are a problem in H2H questions where we ask for multiple players and everybody gives same answer. We will try to remedy that. Jump to:
