Soapbox Oracle - 4/9/18

Reader Shyust blew everyone away for Oracle of the Week!

By Kreg Asay

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.

A lot of bonus points last week saw a lot of points earned! The New York Red Bulls vs Houston Dynamo game got rescheduled due to Tuesday’s Champions League match, so picks are discarded. Tuesday’s CCL matches are the bonus for this week - short time, so early birds will get the extra points (sorry, still getting used to adding these mid-week games)! Real Salt Lake’s game on Wed. is on the survey as optional for those who picked last week, so if you want to keep your previous pick just leave it blank - otherwise any new prediction will be used.

  • Participation last week: 33 - with 9 carryovers on bonus games.

Oracles of the Week:

  • Staff: Megan Webb with 17 points.
  • Reader: Shyust with 23 points!

Here’s the Google Survey for your picks, and the full scoring spreadsheet.
