Soapbox Oracle - MLS Continues!

MLS regular season returns!

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.

The MLS is Back tournament final game will be played on Tuesday, but the regular season resumes on Wednesday! At present there is a 3 way tie for last week’s Oracle of the Week, so the outcome of the final should resolve the tie. Results will be updated next week.

Recap of the previous stats and standings:

Tournament Wk 8 ORACLE OF THE WEEK: To be determined!

  • Participation: 6.
  • Game with most points earned: Orlando City beating Minnesota United FC gave 7 points split between 5 players.
  • Game with least points earned: Portland Timbers beating Philadelphia Union presented only 2 points.
  • Bonus/Tiebreaker: Two of the tiebreakers were discarded (penalty kick results), and the 3rd is the result of the final game (still pending)!

No bonus this week.

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