Soapbox Oracle - 7/1/19

Takeyabue wins into the winners circle with 27 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.

What a week of surprises! There were 3 games with very few points awarded to players, one of them with zero (guess which one!) The Gold Cup and Women’s World Cup have both moved into the semifinals (World Cup Oracle survey is available for the knockout rounds; here are the current points for those of you playing). There are 20 games on this week’s slate, with no bonus games.

Midweek games have been carried over from last week, so if you want to keep your old picks feel free to leave them blank.

Here’s this week’s stats:

ORACLE OF THE WEEK: Takeyabue with 27 points!

  • Participation: 14, plus two carryovers from last week.
  • Game with most points earned: Atlanta FC beating Minnesota United FC saw 30 points doled out.
  • Game with least points earned: Utah Royals FC shocking home loss to Reign FC was a complete surprise to everyone. A goose-egg for everyone.

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