Earnings Season: a weekly forecasting contest
Ten questions post every Tuesday, covering point spreads, game totals, and which of a group of players leads a stat that week. File your estimates before Sunday at noon ET.
The Assistant Coach answers the same ten questions, and your rating is the margin between you and it — beat the benchmark, build a public track record.
Included with a free WaiverWire account. No entry fee, no wagering, no prize pool.
Scored against the Coach, not the field
A brutal slate costs you nothing: if the whole field goes 4-for-10, the Coach did too, and your margin is unchanged. Your alpha is the points per week you're worth above it.
Harder questions pay more
A two-way call like a spread is worth 1 point, a three-way choice 1.5, a four-way 2. Anything that can't be settled fairly is voided for everyone, including the Coach.
A public, citable record
Every rating on the standings links to a page listing each week you were scored, good and bad — so a rating cited in an argument can actually be checked.
Join any week
Only your recent weeks feed your rating, so a Week 8 arrival is on level ground by the end of the year, and a single hot week never outranks a full season.
