Prediction Results -- Week 1

So once again this season we shall have a prediction contest to see who can best predict the match winners and scores ahead of time. This year the contest will be amongst myself (picks posted here), Ron Young, and Josh Gutman. For each correct result picked you receive 2 points. You also receive the following bonuses for picking the exact final score as follows:

Each exact score of 2.5 – 1.5 receives 1 bonus point.
Each exact score of 2 – 2 or 3 – 1 receives 2 bonus points.
Each exact score of 3.5 – 0.5 or 4 – 0 receives 3 bonus points.



With that being said, for the first week here is how we all fared (AS = Arun Sharma, RY = Ron Young, JG = Josh Gutman from here on out).
