Well, they say good times can only truly be appreciated when there are bad times. City might just be realising it. An entire generation of Liverpool supporters can attest to it. I guess us BSFL players should be mostly familiar.

I'm not sure I'm a Baratheon (since they once sat on the throne). Perhaps a pretender like the Onion Knight? Always so close, and yet so far. I feel like Slissy is the Melissandre, charming us with his Clubhouse notoriety and slinking away when it matters most.

hosseinimr93 would be my pick for Tyrion. Has somehow managed to pick himself out of any mess -- may not sit on the Throne in the end, but will always be the true Last Man Standing #jinxpls

As we were only focused on our remaining 2 matches as a team then I completely forgot about replying to your PM. After remembering that I have done it as quick as possible. BSFL has turned into such a big organization like this in a very short time. And this is a really incredible thing. As there is a break for the league this week I have called the team for a camp. And I believe we are going to collect 6 points in the remaining 2 matches.

Done! Curious to see what you are going to make out of that, but your logos so far are all looking great. Awesome work!

Guys these weeks without BSFL are pretty boring But I guess my bad, I could have just survived for longer in the Cup.

BSFL has turned into a pretty cool thing over the course of just a few seasons and to me it seems that we have pretty much ironed out all the pitfalls in the rules and possible referee decisions, which makes it a level playing field for everyone. Good work and awesome to know we got the sponsor Sportsbet.io backing us.

I do not know what you mean by checking the odd and betting, I am sure many here check the odds of possible outcomes before making their pick for questions, but there is no requirement to wager, neither do I think there should be.

Eliminating players is not the objective as it is, the objective is to get players to be active as that is what must have kept the competition up to the 5th season.

I think the window to submit answers is short (I have sometimes seen the 2 days flash by after just making a mental note to return to the questions) but working on that will be difficult to do. Only fix looks to be announcing the next week's question while the current one is still active which can be confusing for some.

I totally forgot about that, but BSFL is growing like crazy and soon they will have to pay the fee to mafia to join the league.
Freebets can be very profitable if used smart so I would not shy away from participating in new Division 4.
Do we have dates when new season is starting?
We need some break for transfer market business. ;(

I am again calling this members to reply to my PM please:

Noticed several times already that you really took time to read the rules and then used common sense to interpret situations. Really impressive for first season. It all seems very straightforward to us organizers and then we feel a bit taken back when people that are with us for several season miss some important part of how BSFL works. Fact that you got it in season 1 means it is all well explained for those that take time to do so.

If only we had more new additions like you. Rookie of the year title is already yours for sure. Not that it comes with anything except bragging rights 

Divison 3A contains 15 people and in each round 1 player is free. That makes people have different numbers of played games.
Hhampuz will be free in round 15. dbshck also has 13 played games and he will be free in round 14.

It may worth mentioning that there are two more people in division 3A that have 13 games played. Dittoup and Joca97 have 13 played games each because they will have a match against Smartvirus who has been kicked out.

Oh no I mistaken the Northern Ireland flag for the English flag and thought Allen M was English, but after a closer look at the flags, I was disappointed. Un_rank that was a good point for you. Alcaraz is currently one set down.....

How did Hhampuz manage to play more games (13) than the rest of us? The updated table did not affect me as I expected; I still top the league despite playing fewer games.

Hey there, just ask whatever you need.
We define the buy-in fees at the start of each season. So far it was paid by Division 1 and Division 2 participants, but from next season it will have to be paid by Division 3 participants as well.

Considering that you are a new player, you have to start from the lowest Division - which will be Division 4 next Season - and for you there will not be a buy-in fee.

If you want to jump Divisions, we will introduce an option to buy clubs at the end of this season - but you will have to find a player willing to sell.

The buy-in fee is the participation fee which every player pays to compete for the season, for the current season only Division 1 and 2 paid to participate, the division was free to join/play and that is going to change next season, however I think there will be a new division which will be free to play still.



I completely understand, there is no easy that wouldn't affect some people over the other, if the whole result becomes null and avoid they same thing could If had a 1-2 point lead over a player who had lost to the said person, while I did lose against him. I'm only in for taking every potential position in the league with the same importance, so I find it better to alter 12 results for the sake of 3.

I'm sure you guys always review these rules and arrive at some fair ground with these decisions making which I more often than not always agree with.

@cryptofrka Sorry in advance as I am newbie and have no enough information still trying to learn all about this.

Want to ask what is this buy-in fee for Division 1 and 2 with in next season for the Division 3 as well.

I was trying to understand but fail hopefully you will clear all confusion about these thanks in advance.

That would be unfair to those that lost to the guy.
Imagine that you and me are tied for the title, you played against that guy and lost and I'm about to play him in the last round.

I get a free pass and win the title, which is a horrible outcome.

___________________________

As said, we don't feel it will still be an issue in Season 6. Div3 will have some prizes for almost all places, so there will be more reason to submit.
It will still happen in Div4 - but whatever we do it will remain a problem in the lowest league that rewards only freebets.

Elimination rule doesn't seem to strict imo, and I'm sure not a lot of people would feel otherwise, even those who got the hammer. The outcome and how it upsets the standings is what I think it more alarming and concerning especially when the season has almost ended like the current, perhaps you should look into the possibility of letting previous results stand after certain number of rounds have been played.

Yup, no more Div 3A and Div3B, but a single Division 3 with buy-in fee and better rewards. Div4 will be the real amateur league now - it will be without buyins and will be played for freebets.


I do agree that elimination is the last step - the 'problem' with BSFL is that it is H2H so it is a problem when people forget to submit.
That means that it is better to have less committed players than a lot but ones that are not really committed.

We are trying to solve this problem season after season, where the rewards are low people will naturally forget or be lazy to do it. As BSFL grows, it will be 'professional' for more and more people - we believe that Division 3 in Season 6 will be a lot more serious than Divisions 3A and 3B are currently.

We tried to find the best solution for things like these, but if you miss 3 out of 15 games you simply can't be a part of a H2H competition - because it ruins the experience for everyone else.

There is also no way people would pay any penalties in lower leagues. Maybe club selling will now make some of them step up a league or two - we will see.

___________________________________

In competitions like these changes have to be slow - because we cannot change the rules mid-season. In 5 years we haven't really lost a lot of players, and we lost only one (casperBGD) in the leagues that have a buy-in fee. Therefore we don't really feel that the elimination rule is too strict - but it is a shame when we do lose a player.

We are here to be "punished" or to bet... how many here actually do the process... that is,  they go check the odds and bet, there is a wager issue that needs to be considered in this league somehow, and remove that "nonsense" of eliminating players...

Each division should have the "VAR" of wager for negative points, and that's it, you want to get rid of the negative points, 1000$* of wager for each point... eliminating players should not be the objective... the process is lost, well for those of us who really do it...

What just happened in the division 3A is absolutely inappropriate  

---

^{* e.g.}

Oh I forgot we are gonna have division 4 next season, I guess this is like nonleague football, where you can compete to be part of the league, or what comparison can we play from here

So does this mean no more 3A and 3B and just division 3?

Come on dittoup, don't let hossein win everything!!

What arallmuus said but let's make it official if someone still isn't up to speed.

Only players that are kicked from BSFL are those that don't submit on time.

As we are getting more and more players, we are expending the leagues. First we were raising the number of teams in Divisions and now the time came to add another Division.

Division 4 will be what Division 3 was until now and Division 3 will have to pay fee to play but rewards will be better. More like div1 and div2.

Since we have fixed spaces in top 3 division from now on, last 4 teams from div3 are relgated to Div4 where they will be joined by all new players.

Selby lost his quarter-final match against the chinese player 6-5.
So, no english player reached the semi-finals of 2024 champion of champions and question number 8 is now settled. I am now leading against Dittoup 3-2.

First round of team logo related questions have been sent by me to some of the members from Division 1, so please reply as soon as you can:

Crazy amount of money is smiling to someone who wins LMS 
No need to thank me again for being one of the top sponsors, but I always accept donations 

How is everyone doing in Cup? No big surprises and shocks?
Igebotz juniors are not doing bad I see.

Bottom 4 from division 3A and 3B will start on division 4 next season. 11th place in division 3B has 16 points by now and you have 6 points, so technically with only 2 more games to go, you wont be getting enough point to be safe from the relegation zone

For picture reference of how the promotion / relegation works in each division, its in the OP


Well you are just unlucky this season and plenty of chances to climb back up on the next one
