Oracle Scoring System:

  • Getting the right result (Team A beats Team B): 1 point
  • Each correct number of goals for either team: 1 point (result was 1-1, and you picked 2-1; gives you 1 correct pick and 1 wrong pick so 1 point).
  • If you picked the correct goal for one team, and the final result (result was 2-0, and you picked 2-1; you get 1 point for the goal, and one for the result so 2 points).

So there is are 0-3 points possible for EVERY game. Bonus games will also be added occasionally with International games, Open Cup and others.

Colorado Rapids beating Minnesota United was the head scratching result this week; only one point was awarded. New England Revolution beating Orlando City was the opposite with 5 players picking the exact score. There are bonus points in store for tomorrow, and several mid-week games for those who get their picks in early!

It’s not too late to start, anyone can get Oracle of the Week for most points that week; and you could always try for best Points Per Game!

  • Participation last week: 15 plus 4 holdovers from last week.

Oracles of the Week:

  • Staff: Dave C., Stockton M, and Kreg A. all tie with 9 points.
  • Reader: NOFC and Yoursangoma tie 10 points each!
