We started this season picking all MLS matches, and only Royals and Monarchs games. We ended with both MLS and NWSL league games, and only Monarchs. And extended into the playoffs. My question for next year is would you like to see any changes such as:
- Continue to include all of NWSL or return to just Royals?
- Continue to pick just Monarchs games, include all USL Championship games, or drop?
- Extend Oracle picks into the playoffs, or stop at regular MLS season end?
- Include USMNT/USWNT games as bonus points or as regular picks?
- Additional suggestions for bonus/tiebreaker other than total goals scored (first sub in specific game, total cards from all games, etc...)? (I’ll try to randomize to keep you thinking).
- Any other comments or suggestions are welcome!
