Soapbox Oracle - 10-13-19

Takeyabue rides the bonus points to 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.

MLS and NWSL seasons are over, but but the Monarchs still have 2 more to go. There were only 6, plus one bonus game last week, but this week it’s up to 10 plus a bonus USMNT game.

Here’s this week’s stats:

ORACLE OF THE WEEK: Takeyabue picks up the bonus 5 points to win with 14 points!

  • Participation: 10
  • Game with most points earned: The scoreless NWSL draw between Portland Thorns and Washington Spirit doled out 2 points.
  • Game with least points earned: Monarchs SLC vs Orange County was the most predictable, with everyone earning at least 1 point, and a total of 21 were awarded.
  • Bonus/Tiebreaker: 24 goals scored. Takeyabue got the extra 5 points!

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