Like i said in the BSFL post count me in and thanks for bringing another majestic contest.
As far as i read is a combination of BSFL and the system used in PotB of UCL made by Buwaytress or im missing something?.
Not really, in buwa's Pot B you could pick the games. Here you'll still have to answer all the questions, like in regular BSFL.
In some rounds (just 3 out of 8 - we want to test it for the future without risking too much) there will be just a few questions that will be inclined to one option, with a riskier option available for more points.
If we asked in BSFL who quailfies to the final, Real or Bayern, most would pick Real - and the bookies give it 1.50 odds. But if we awarded 1 point for Real and 2 for Bayern, some people would risk with Bayern.
These kind of questions we will have in the preliminary round (that is the one that will be settled only at the end and have questions like winner, best goalscorer etc), in R16 and in quarterfinal round.
With this we want to keep it exciting even if you're 5 points behind - this way it gives you more options to try and catch up.
I expect to see 30+ people minimum from BSFL and pools alone. I'll probably buy-in after the inevitable "getting kicked out" phase, 9.5mbtc set aside for buy-ins -- that has got to be the most premium fee on forum, but the format and prize makes complete sense.
Perhaps a question because of the possible tight deadlines -- what if the buy-in to deadline timeframe is very small? Just thinking of possible Bitcoin network run-ins here plus timezone. Will affect me as I'll be in a very different timezone during the tourney, I suppose one should be able to request buy-in and pay perhaps with a grace period?
We aim for 50+, which means that with re-buys the top reward might increase quite a bit. I will surely re-buy to eternity if needed but as Trofo said, 2 or 3 might be the soft spot.
Prizes include drinks!! ??
Sure, but the check is paid by the..

Last Man Standing!

We're really excited about this format, guys.
If it goes well, it will probably run as a side-competition in each BSFL season where players from all divisions can participate together.
More about that if this goes well though
