Soapbox Oracle - 6/3/19

Brandon Wilde Is the Oracle of the Week with 26 points!

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.

Welcome to the Gold Cup pseudo-break! It’s not really a break of course since there are 6 MLS games and a Monarchs game scheduled this week. You also have the chance to pick up some bonus points with USMNT games! Three midweek games carried over this week - including one of the bonus picks, so if you wish to use your old prediction just leave it blank. There are 6 games on the list and 18 points possible for this week, plus the bonus points!

A reminder that the Women’s World Cup is set to start this Friday (June 7th). The separate Oracle for that is still available HERE! And just to see who’s reading, please be sure to check the very bottom of the page for a reward.

Here’s this week’s stats:

ORACLE OF THE WEEK: Brandon Wilde wins 2rd Oracle with 26 points!

  • Participation: 18 plus 1 carryover for the midweek games.
  • Game with most points earned: The USL game between Portland Timbers 2 and Real Monarchs was most easily predicted. All but 2 players received something; a total of 34 points were earned.
  • Game with least points earned: Not a single person picked Orlando City SC to go on the road and destroy Montreal Impact. (RSL must have softened them up), only 1 point was given out for picking the Canadian goose-egg.

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