Soapbox Oracle - 5/27

Stu Pedasol takes the prize this week with 14 points!

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.

21 games to pick this week including bonus games! Wednesday’s games are optional in if you wish to change your picks. There were a lot of surprise results, so out of the 39 points possible, the high was only 14. The biggest shock was Chicago Fire beating Orlando City - only 3 people got points for that one. 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: 19. Held steady this week - challenge your friends, family and co-workers to see who predicts better!

Oracles of the Week:

  • Staff: Kreg A. and Takeyabue both with 6 points.
  • Reader: Stu Pedasol with 14 points (1st win).
  • Best Points per Game (over 50 games): Kid Manscill and Stu Pedasol both at 1.06.
