Earnings Season: a weekly forecasting contest
Ten questions go up every Tuesday at noon. File your estimates before Sunday at 1pm ET. When the results print, you find out how you did against the Assistant Coach, who answers the same ten.
Your score is alpha, the points per week you are worth above the Coach. It builds a public track record, and the standings stack it against every other member of WaiverWire.
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.
