As announced, we’ll be starting with the cup competition next week. It will be a single game h2h duel, the winner will progress to the next round.

All registered players will play (40 in total), we'll make a detailed post about how it will look like tomorrow afternoon and post the questions in the evening.

Good luck with the league results!

It is too early to congratulate, in tennis it was red at the end, there are only 2 questions left with different answers and there may be a tie, I hope not and hopefully I win in one of the 2 questions and I will be satisfied

@igebotz : 4-3 currently for us. Well the good news is that I wont lose this round because we only have 1 question left with different answer so worst case scenario for me would be another draw. Well its confirmed that Sabitzer wont start so yeah you are most likely going to get the last point from the Manchester United's lineup question

Fingers crossed so Pellistri to start alongside Fred so that would be another draw for us 

I wasn't expecting to win on this week absolutely. We played a quite competitive match with casperBGD as the most of our answers were the same. After not being able to win in the league in the first 3 matches, we have got a series of 4 matches after this win. We are going to the cup break by being quite in-form. As Perez is starting the race in last position tomorrow it looks difficult for him to be on podium.

But when it comes to motorsports you never speak by the book.

You are right,we have different answers, but you are currently ahead of me by one goal, and we are waiting for the rest of the competition results. I did not expect my favorite club Liverpool, who are going through a real crisis this season, to score against Manchester City. But now I'm thinking why I changed my mind while giving my answers, as I didn't choose both teams to score, even though my prediction in the EPL pool was 3-2. So, I think if I continue like this, my trajectory will be towards section 3.

Did you watch that match? It was middle of the night for me so I did not watch it live but I have seen few snippets today and it was incredible tennis. These 2 are really on top of the game right now and I am thinking Sinner takes this final. He has terrible H2H with Medvedev, played 5 times and lost all 5 so it is about time to win first match.

Good thing we drew on the Bayern/BVB match, Harko, so we both lost out on that, meaning we both get to fight another day. Beautiful prank from Liverpool, shame on Chelski trying to steal the headlines from us


I see only you got green for the last question, assuming that's just pending the final, but yeah, well done on you for backing Sinner, think he changed racquet to beat Alcaraz's -- though in his interview, he admitted changing tactics, just didn't explain what that change was!

Result means Djoko's back in No. 1!

Not anymore man, It's now 4 - 1 in favour of Man City, that's definitely settle it!

That surely was a very top notch April fool prank from Liverpool to Arsenal fans at large, show me a better sense humor than that, I'd wait!

I'd say Liverpool played it out perfectly than theymos did for this year, but I'd give theymos the letter E for the Effort, It's just Liverpool prank for this year, nothing else comes close, imo.

I apologize for not answering cryptofrka  personally, but unfortunately, only because of problems with free time (and with VPN, without which I do not have stable access to this site in my country  ), I cannot join the competition, although I would very much like to.

I wish good luck to all participants and I hope that my situation will improve and in the future I will be able to compete in this interesting tournament.

First 15 minutes of the Manchester city vs Liverpool looked decent  enough to suggest City would win this fixture,  but unfortunately they are a goal down thanks to a Mohammed  Salah goal which looked looked rather offside to be honest and am surprised VAR cleared it,a and with that goal there goes my "Liverpool  not to score".

Guess that Liverpool goal makes Arsenal fans happy and title chase slipping away from Manchester City.

Only 2 players picked Sinner to win, correct, but those two players picked the wrong finalist on the other side of the draw.

I think I was the only one to pick the correct finalists, do I get a bonus prize for this lol

Anyway, I totally back CRO2 on their basketball ranking, it is the most sensible thing to do because on a points tie, you always pick the one who scores most points in lesser minutes. In football they sort of do this also (goals per 90 minutes, which is how you see who is most likely to score).

Finally for the first time in all this competition I am 1 point ahead of my opponent but we have completely different answers on all remaining questions!

I expected Alcaraz to lose, and predict Medvedev to win the title to make my points equal to my opponent this week, and finally, Alcaraz loses to Sinner in semis so the final will be between Sinner and Medvedev, but seeing how Sinner beats Alcaraz it is quite doubtful that Medvedev will be able to beat him later and become the champion, and if Sinner becomes the champion only two players answer Sinner to be the champion, the rest predict Medvedev or Alcaraz who will champion.

Yeah, we are tjedan right now but I see that we mostly have different answers to other questions so it will be an interesting competition tell the end. Good luck with the rest of the answers and let the best man win this week

Now I have a question for you. By you I mean all the players not just Slissy  

You have all answered basketball question and not one of you anticipated this problem and told us about the fact that we need some sort of tie breaker before the game ended.

There is 2 of us and 37 of you. Don't get me wrong, it is our mistake and our job but it is really difficult to anticipate all possible outcomes of all posible questions and we don't want to ask just generic ones or test only football knowledge.

If anything looks unclear or you anticipate a problem, let us know and we will be more than happy if we can react before event from problematic questions starts.

We are also working on more rules and stricter tests to eliminate situations such as this one as much as possible.

you guys are doing an amazing job and keep it up😁 It was just an example of what can happen when we can't confirm things officially😁
I'm still happy that I managed a draw 😃

Now Medvedev is ready for the final, so now I hope that Alcaraz will also make it 😁

It's difficult to say I'm not following the tennis tournament. I just did some research on all of the players and picked the best one, and what made you think Alcaraz would not make it to the final?

This is another H2H question; we might both end up with nothing after all of our efforts... I wish the h2h was between you and me rather than the entire pool, but the rules are the rules.


This falls into the same category as football possession questions, which can be extremely difficult and causes confusion. I don't like these questions either, it cost me a point last GW, but these little shaky questions makes it more competitive. Lol

Believe me, that's the first thing I checked - if the decision will influence Trofo's or my outcome.
It does not, because even if we switch Horford and Brogdon I get 2.5 points instead of 3 (I have Holiday in 4th, not Horford) and still win my h2h duel against entebah. Trofo is free in this round so his picks are irrelevant.

I agree that such rules should be more strictly defined, and they will be. It's an expansive contest to run, we're finding our feet a bit here as well.

To answer how the grading was done - well, if you play less minutes and score the same points, it's logical that you should be ahead, no? You actually did perform better in that category against the guy with the same amount of points.
It is irrelevant how many assists you have (or whatever is the differentiator on your screenshot - maybe even alphabetical?) - assists are heavily dependable on players position for example and alphabetical would be plain stupid.

I'd never risk my forum reputation by making myself win a question in a competition I'm running for Sportsbet, that'd be a really, really stupid thing to do



Most of the questions are like that - but we have to try some alternatives as well - otherwise we risk that the same pattern of questions repeats.
We also have to implement some h2h questions - and these are hard when using standard format.

Also, we said at the beginning that to be the best, some effort will have to be done. To be at the top in Div1, you need some time to answer questions and if you are ok with being in Div2 - you can try guessing some that you don't feel like researching.

Good luck with the tennis final, I hope your favorite player wins!
Fortunately, I am still tied with my opponent despite losing in the tennis game. I am really lazy and have no offensive skills in tennis, so my opponent can win through this gap. I hope to score more points in the upcoming games. Good luck to everyone.

Yes I am but please no more questions about players and scored points, it created a lot of confusion and it needs lot of work for answering and checking.
Better try to think of questions that are simple with answers that can be verified from many sources.
I am saying this for one more reason, because I am losing this round so far, and my hope is on tennis final  
Pray for me.

where do you see the official points order? But I just think it was strange since you, as an organizer, have Horford in fourth place. Then you decide on the rule about playing time after the match is over 😁 We must have such rules clear before the match starts😂 (And yes, I have Brogdon in fourth place) 😁😂

I'm still happy with the draw against my opponent, but also have to question how you came to that conclusion 😁
