Soapbox Oracle - Week 16

The Oracle of the Week is Zzyzx!

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.

It was a week loaded with 23 games and a 5 point possible bonus! Mid-week game picks for those who played last week have been carried over, as have the picks for two of the postponed games that were rescheduled for the 16th. There are 22 games this week including NWSL matches.

Recap of the previous stats and standings:

ORACLE OF THE WEEK: Zzyzx with 30 pts!

  • Participation: 6, plus 2 carryovers from last week.
  • Game with most points earned: Columbus Crew beating interstate rival FC Cincinnati dished out 9 total points.
  • Game with least points earned: 2 games tied with 0 single points each, and both were the teams in the Real Salt Lake family.
  • Bonus/Tiebreaker: No one correctly picked the 16 goals scored during Wednesday’s MLS games.

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