How each call scored

a naive guessbetter than naive

2 claims — 1 positional finish and 1 top player list — the one we can check graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

The one call we can check scored 100 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess at the same calls.

The other one was too vague to check, so it is not graded.

Each call is scored 0 to 100 against what happened, on its own, by the published methodology. The naive guess is what knowing nothing would have scored on the same calls; the gap, weighted by how hard the call was, is the skill.

    VerdictToo vague to check

    Too vague to check: we could not tell what would count as right, so it stays on the record without a score.
