Glad I stayed off putting in my answers until the AFC semi, though with the question voided, it appears I didn't need to wait. Some bewildering tactics from Klinsmann ensured South Korea were one of the tourney's most boring teams. Trofo did predict they'd wake up late, finally got 1 shot on goal, comfortable save in 85th minute but when you're diving for penalties with injury time coming, then you know this team weren't coached well.

Hoping mv1986 put in a South Korea pick, for a "ghost" free point for me, just to make me feel like I have a bone to pick if I end up losing this round!

I have to say though, didn't we have questions in the past where big seeds didn't even make it past deadline, and people who put them in anyway still had their picks marked? Not complaining at all, of course, I 100% support it being fair to those who're even asleep now to see the result.

P.S. Say no to Cro2 free points!

Now I fucked up... Holy shit I wasn't at my PC and typed in my answers on another device since I wasn't at home, sent it and was sure I submitted successfully. That's the fuck up of the season. A costly error. I saw slackovic had something like this last round. I didn't check the excel spreadsheet because it's weird on the phone regardless of the browser I am using.

Hope you can make use of this in the next round Jinetics1111.

Yeah, I know the feeling. I learned a costly lesson and now you have learned it too - always, ALWAYS check the spreadsheet after submitting. I checked it yesterday after submitting and once more before the deadline. My mistake probably won't cost me losing division 1 spot, but it could have. If I had one less win during the season, I would be in a real trouble. This way I need only one point in this round to secure staying in the division 1.

Hm quite disappointed, but my fault. I wanted to do it earlier and then I knew that there would be the semifinal in the Asia Cup and I knew I had to leave the house and was sitting in a train. Thought it worked and when I open Excel files it somehow freezes or gets stuck. Don't know why. But ok, you've played a great season and now you got some luck, which I am cool with. Get the best out of it


>.< What can I say? We can open a club, the losers' club.

Now bullrun2020bro has not shown up, he no longer has a chance to remain in the 2nd division, and if he does not show up, the last round will be 2-3 points for some who tied or lost against him and that will again modify the table.

Before or after the questions were posted, everyone who read the questions would know that South Korea had two games, and one was definitely bound to end before the deadline, which means there was already a possibility of answer coming before then, we can't be voiding questions because a question doesn't fit into a time zone when the deadline already itself would surely have some people on the rope, and Tennis after football is our second most sport here and the time zones are never static, I remember missing a question where my candidate had even pulled out of a tournament before the deadline, and was replaced and the questions was never voided, I would never say that was preempted, there are just some scenarios with grey areas not just black or white and we'll always have them in an as much these are circumstances beyond our control.

In my candid opinion, I don't think this question should be voided because of time zones and the nature of a question of we've had American and South American questions and from my time zone none of have been earlier than 1 in the AM, I threw in my answers early with a Yes, because I felt that was the best, and my cls63 my opponent answer came in according to spreadsheet around when the match is almost 85+ mins, and answered Yes, I don't know if he also used a VAR card, but if he didn't, that means what we are trying to prevent is not going to be possible because there are some answers here that most of us don't even bother to look up, to be honest what with question is almost a scenario we've had always in some Tennis, Handball or Waterpolo questions where vast majority of us needed to wait for a possible scenario before submitting, I would ask if South Korea had won the game today 4-0, would the question had been voided if everyone with a no answer decides to call VAR because all South Korea would need left is to win the finals by any means necessary which would have a more probable than not answer ?

I'm pretty much fine with void call to be very honest, as it is a generally fair decision, but it also kinda eliminate the needs for VAR all together because this was one of the scenarios that brought about it's implementation to begin with.

Chill dude. I was busy all day and just submitted my picks.

I won't dodge the last round either; I am just busy, and of course, a betting game in which I have no chance to rank up anymore isn't my main life priority right now.

That's still no reason to accuse me of not playing fair.

The time for the match was already set when the questions came, so this scenario should have been known by everyone who did the job of checking the match.

This was a chance Cro2 took even though they knew this could happen, but with only 2 rounds left, all the questions are very important that we can't have questions that become void (although there is always a chance of that) but this question should have remained.

I first took South Korea to score 4 goals or more, then I changed it to 3 goals or less then finally I changed it to NO and sent in my answer😂

This makes the most sense to me then, of course I'd agree that it doesn't happen often.

However, I understand how hell a of tough job CRO2 is doing, and I don't undermine that, but possibly if we can eliminate this kind of scenarios all together would be better going forward ? Scenarios where the first game doesn't get started or have half of it settled before the deadline, because I'm there are a lot of cases when the first question is a H2H question and then there is about 1-2 question settled of a possible 4 or 5, it still put us in a situation of having a few with an unfair advantage especially if they can make the most of it and their time zones still permit them to submit just in time before the deadline.

Well, actually I'm one of these who tried to benefit by using VAR. First I wasn't sure about it, but after Jordan scored 2nd goal, I went for it.
If game outcome was known before deadline, probably it's right decision to void question. Though, I think that we had similar case when of tennis players or Ronnie O'Sullivan pulled out from tournament before deadline and question wasn't voided. Offcourse, I may be wrong.
Anyway, not blaming Cro2, there is just so many aspect to consider when they make questions.
