BuzzerBeater Forums

Visit http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buzzerbeater

I've made modifications ;)

Here's an example from the BuzzerBeater log-in page:

Spanish: "¡Bienvenido a BuzzerBeater! El mayor juego de Mánager de Baloncesto del mundo "

Portuguese: "Bem-vindo ao BuzzerBeater! O maior jogo de gestão de basquetebol do mundo"

So you can see how they are mutually intelligible. Someone can say "bem vindo" or I can say "bienvenido" & we both will understand that means "welcome".

But even among non-similar languages, there are related words. Like there's a Brazilian band named "Sepultura". English has the word "sepulture" (though rarely used), so even if I didn't know Spanish, I would still understand the meaning. That's what makes understanding much simpler than speaking.

Ummm... I've got this:

Ugh, sorry but this is a great work, but not worth being on wikipedia, I think :)

If I get this right, you're listing the game players who have won most B3 titles?

What we should care here, I think, are just teams :)

More B3 titles, more World Cup titles and more Continental titles (European, etc.).

Actually there are two players winners of B3, World Championship and Continental Championship: Tapia and Delgadillo (B3 with VS, and World/Continental Championship with Chile).

The page has been deleted because it had no references and seemed to be an advertisement more than an article. I think this time BBs have to give us some precise references

I've found a one you can use: (http://www.masshightech.com/stories/2008/08/04/weekly5-Vi...) A few more like that should satisfy Wikipedia? (didn't have a chance to look at their rules yet)

I can understand the general meaning just because 8 words out of 10 are really similar to italian.

Thanks. To me, the few times I've heard Italian the accent seems much easier than Portuguese. Just wasn't sure if written Spanish & written Italian were similar enough to understand each other.

Ok. But what I meant is that we should focus only on teams, and not players ;)

This is a good reference. There is no indication about the number of references (just forum and/or fan blogs are usually deprecated, but accepted), as you can see it's variable (e.g. the spanish entry with no references at all).
I guess 2 or 3 more of that links should be fine. We could also speak to our new mint bloggers, maybe they could write an article about the history of BB. That could be interesting for the community and we could use it as reference.

The hungarian http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buzzerbeater version was translated by me in 2008, from the original english version (and added some extra information) but because of lack of time it is not too up-to-date now.

i think a wikipedia article would be wonderful -- i hope someone else does all the work.

seriously, we should consider what, precisely, someone who is not involved in BuzzerBeater would be interested in if they were to reference the article. i'm not sure they would be as fascinated as we participants are by a history of the results -- champions, records, what have you.

for myself, i find the mathematical / statistical structure of the game to be of primary interest. i am fascinated by the creation of a "reality", with randomness included, that is completely the result of math. unlike many who participate in this game, my knowledge of statistics, programming, and who knows what else (linear algebra? are algorithms a form of calculus?), i don't nothing 'bout no mathematics. but i find this exercise in modeling the basketball universe to be absolutely fascinating -- and it helps me to understand other models (say, for predicting the weather, the economy, or estimating the amount of oil that may exist below the seas above the arctic circle). i would suggest that at least some of the Wiki article deal with this aspect of the BB -- i think at least part of the audience would be interested in this.

That's about what I had in mind:

I like it but I don't like putting loser as that technically means the team that came last, so maybe Runners-Up instead.
BTW I know "wikilanguage" as well.
