Soapbox Oracle - 5/6

A lot of points given out last week, with more to come - there are plenty of mid-week games this week so get your picks in early!

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.

This week’s mid-week games were on last week’s survey, but are also on this week as optional if you want to change your picks. Only 7 players got any points from New York Red Bulls dismantling New York City FC, but on the other hand all but one person got points from Real Monarch’s beating Orange County!

UPDATE: due to a glitch in the survey the teams got reversed for last week’s Montreal v New England game. Picks meant for one showed up on the other, thus I’ve given everybody 1 point for that match regardless of prediction.

  • Participation last week: 24.

Oracles of the Week:

  • Staff: Kreg A. with 20 points.
  • Reader: The Soap with 20 points.

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