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.

It’s 2019 and MLS is almost back in season! Time to test your prognostication skills again, so knock the rust and dust off the old grey matter and ponder the games from MLS First Kick!

Last year we had 96 players participating in at least one week, with only around 12-15 regularly playing. But the points have all been erased and it’s a clean slate for everyone! I’ll still be giving out the Oracle of the Week, but there won’t be a separation between Reader / Staff this year, as such I’m exempting myself from the award - no favoritism here!

Scoring remain the same (see insert), and games from the Real Monarchs and Utah Royals will be added once their seasons begin. Bonus games will of course pop up from time to time.
