Currently, the validators handle challenges for top global football leagues, including:

• Premier League
• Ligue 1
• Bundesliga
• Serie A
• Championship
• Primeira Liga
• Primera Division
• Campeonato Brasileiro Série A
• Eredivisie

The base miner model, trained on these leagues, makes predictions.

Score Predict App

This app functions as a miner by gathering predictions from fans based on intuition rather than machine learning. Users can sign up, make predictions for upcoming games, and earn TAO rewards through a points program with weekly giveaways of vouchers and tech.

Leaderboard

A leaderboard ranks participants, including users of the Score Predict app, showcasing weekly performance.

Key Points:

• Validators fetch games starting in the next 60 minutes.
• Challenges are allocated based on validator stakes and a hash of the epoch and miner_uids.
• Miners have 12 seconds to respond.
• Matches from the previous day are checked against submissions for scoring and weight setting.

Mining

Miners generate predictions for upcoming football matches using a base model, which is a Random Forest classifier trained on historical match data. Currently, miners predict the match outcome as either a win or a draw. In the future, predictions will expand to include additional in-game events, such as final scores, half-time scores, red and yellow cards, corners, and which player scores the first goal.

Current Base Model

The base miner model is a Random Forest classifier trained on historical football match data. It:

• Utilizes features like team performance stats, head-to-head records, league standings, and match timing.
• Applies data preprocessing techniques such as imputation and feature scaling.
• Predicts match outcomes (home win, away win, or draw) based on these features.

While this model provides a solid foundation, we are enhancing it further. We anticipate that many miners will use their own optimized models for improved accuracy.

Validating

Validators create challenges for miners by providing upcoming match data and then scoring the predictions. They retrieve match information from the Score API to generate challenges and compare results against miners’ predictions to allocate rewards.

Scoring

Their enhanced scoring system now includes a streak multiplier to reward consistent performance:

Base Scoring:

• 3 points for each correct prediction.
• 0 points for incorrect predictions.

Streak Multiplier:

• The system tracks streaks of correct predictions.
• Multipliers are applied based on streak length:
• 2-4 correct predictions: 1.1x multiplier
• 5-9 correct predictions: 1.4x multiplier
• 10-19 correct predictions: 1.8x multiplier
• 20+ correct predictions: 2.0x multiplier

Final Score Calculation:

• Final Score = Base Score * Streak Multiplier

This system promotes consistent accuracy and will evolve with the addition of more in-game prediction types.
