Frisky Niblet gets 2nd Oracle win!

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.

A huge week with 23 games, and yet again the average player score was less than a point per match. There is one bonus game this week (Real Salt Lake vs Tigres UANL), and another Bonus (MLS All Star Game) that will be carried over into next week. That makes 18 games, plus the bonus for this week!

Midweek games have been carried over from last week, so as always if you wish to keep your previous picks feel free to leave them blank.

Here’s this week’s stats:

ORACLE OF THE WEEK: Frisky Niblet with 27 points!

  • Participation: 11 - plus two carryovers from last week.
  • Game with most points earned: In the NWSL match between Orlando Pride and Sky Blue FC players picked up a total of 20 points.
  • Game with least points earned: Tie - Sporting Kansas City falling at home to FC Dallas, and LA Galaxy surprising their cross-town rivals Chivas Mk.II, sorry Los Angeles FC, and Portland Timbers shocking the Seattle Sounders at home. All three had 4 points given to players!

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