conditional

If I was played better in the second round, I would be playing in the 2nd round by now.

Could you tell me which forms of conditional the above sentence?

Thank you

Could you tell  me which forms of conditional  sentence it is? e.g. (first form, second, third, mixed)

Thank you.

I think,

In this sentence (

If I had played better in the second round, I would be playing in the third round by now.)

The word `playing' must be gerund. Otherwise, it wouldn't satisfy the mixed conditional rules. Because I have learned that mixed conditionals may be (either -- combination of second and third or third and second).

But in the above sentence, the world `playing' appears odd because no other conditionals have this form.

Could you help me on this?

To be perfectly honest, "mixed conditionals" is a concept relatively new to this sexagenarian.  Does this sound any better to you?  "If had played better in the 2nd round, I would have been playing in the 3rd".

Thank you.
