Stu Pedasol picks up yet another win!

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.

With the rescheduled Utah Royals FC game, there were 25 games last week. Only 5 players scored over a point per match. For this week there are 14 games at stake plus 2 bonus games.

As this is the end of the MLS regular Season, at the end of the survey there are the remaining Real Monarchs and NWSL games. MLS playoff games will be added to the slate once they are determined.

Here’s this week’s stats:

ORACLE OF THE WEEK: Stu Pedasol with 39 points after picking up the tiebreaker bonus!

  • Participation: 11
  • Game with most points earned: Minnesota United beating Sporting Kansas City had 23 points awarded.
  • Game with least points earned: The wild finish that saw Vancouver Whitecaps beating LA Galaxy gave a mere two points.
  • Bonus/Tiebreaker: 70 goals scored. Stu Pedasol gets 5 bonus points for predicting it correctly!

Here’s the full scoring spreadsheet, and the survey for next week, which is also at the bottom of this page for some viewers!
