Soapbox Oracle - 10-21-19

Jared Nethery earns first 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.

Playoffs are in full swing for all 3 leagues! There were 10, plus one bonus game last week, but this week it’s down to 6 games, and time is short to get your picks in! The last picks are for the conference finals, all 4 possible teams are listed, pick scores for all four, or just for the two you think will move on during midweek.

Here’s this week’s stats:

ORACLE OF THE WEEK: Jared Nethery picks up his first win with 14 points!

  • Participation: 7 with 3 carryovers from last week.
  • Game with most points earned: Real Salt Lake beating Portland Timbers had 22 given out, with 5 players picking the exact score.
  • Game with least points earned: USMNT losing to Canada was a blow that had no points awarded.
  • Bonus/Tiebreaker: 42 goals scored. One player missed it by one goal, but no points awarded.

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