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.

There were a lot of surprise results this week as 4 away teams picked up wins. Five midweek game has been carried over, so if you wish to use your old prediction just leave it blank. There are a massive 19 games and 57 potential points up for grabs this week, so it’s a great chance to raise your PPG!

And finally a short shout-out to “FredZilla” - the MLS comment area has missed your presence!
