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.

With 17 games and 51 potential points on the slate I would have expected some high scores, but only two players broke the 20 point mark. Looks like that week was just a tough one to predict. There are four midweek games carried over this week, so if you wish to use your old prediction just leave it blank. There are 18 games and 54 potential points up for grabs this week; there is also a bonus game for an extra 3 points!

Here’s this week’s stats:

ORACLE OF THE WEEK: Yoursangoma wins first Oracle with 21 points!

  • Participation: 17 plus 2 carryovers for the midweek games.
  • Game with most points earned: Atlanta United beating Toronto at home; participants picked up a combined 36 points.
  • Game with least points earned: LA Galaxy’s loss at home to New York City FC; only 2 points were earned.

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