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 two surprise results this week that earned less than 10 points for players. One midweek game has been carried over, so if you wish to use your old prediction just leave it blank. There are 15 games and 45 potential points up for grabs this week! Four new players made a decent showing with 3 of them equaling or passing 1 PPG.

Here’s this week’s stats:

ORACLE OF THE WEEK: Pizdets earns 2nd crystal ball this week with 26 points!

  • Participation: 29 with 4 new players this week.
  • Game with most points earned: Houston Dynamo beating Columbus Crew had a total of 46 points won by players.
  • Game with least points earned: Portland Timbers shocking win over Toronto FC on the road earned only 3 points, with only one player picking the correct result.

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