Soapbox Oracle - 8/5/19

NOFC earns 2nd 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.

There were 17 games this week, and average player score rose above a point per match. No one picked up the tiebreaker bonus, though one player was off by only one point! There are 20 games this week, and the tiebreaker / bonus is also included again.

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: NOFC with 23 points!

  • Participation: 13 - plus two carryovers from last week.
  • Game with most points earned: NWSL’s North Carolina Courage vs Washington Spirit awarded a total of 21 points.
  • Game with least points earned: Philadelphia Union dismantling D.C. United at was the surprise of the week with only 4 points given out.
  • Bonus/Tiebreaker: 50 goals scored, no bonus points given.

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